Wonder what it will be!

This. Missing Wells.

Manning or whoever will have to hit the ground running. Jon wants minimum top 6 this season.

Surely they'd be in to meet the new man/woman?

Are the squad in for training at the HPC today? Any spies up there?

Who honestly feels that this club is Premiership in waiting. Yes, the ground looks nice but behind the scenes I think we are miles away. Nige was building slowly to give us the best base to advance. If Jon thinks we are ready this year to challenge, then I hope he's happy to back that up with cash. He will need it!

Jon's just toying with his puppet fans again. Ie..let them speculate.

If you read this Nige then thank you. The fans could see the roots taking place under your leadership. Unfortunately the egos of the top brass couldn't and weren't able to handle you being more popular than them. You will be missed. Good luck with the op and future health. If you stay in football someone will be getting a gem. Thanks Nige.

When I look at the list of options as coach/managers I think to myself, Christ, what have we done sacking Nige. If he was on that list he would probably be odds on favourite. This is make or break for the Lansdowns. As Jon said, they now know what they are looking for so if this goes wrong, the blame is solely theirs. I'm expecting to be underwhelmed by the new name but I'm hoping, to be pleasantly surprised. I'll be there tomorrow for the players and CF but the outcome of the game, win, lose or draw, will prove nothing. Good luck Nige in the future. I'll always wonder what might have been. Over 65 years following this club now. What a roller-coaster it's been.

Probably say he's landlocked in Guernsey. "You deal with it Jon my son, you're the chairman "

Frank, or whoever gets the job, won't be shopping anywhere. That will be a certain Mr. B Tinnion.

Watch our wage cap vanish quicker than Nigel.

One things for sure, there won't be too many surprises in the line up due to player availability. Which begs the question; why change the manager to play the same players and in the same style as before? I'm sure they will do their best , which is more than can be said of the top brass!

Luke Williams is an anagram of Brian Tinnion. Well it might as well be cos it will be BT calling the shots. Best man for the job going by JLs comments appears to be Nigel Pear........oh wait!

Fork me. What a doughnut. Squads good enough and we're playing the right way, so we sack the man responsible! If this was Rovers we'd have pages of laughter at the clown. I think him and daddy will get some real grief. He could have used almost exactly the same words if he had given Nige a new contract.

Great article. The world now knows where the blame lies, and it's not with Pearson. Go now Steve and take Jon and your yes men with you.

He's on the list because that's how low the club is sinking to under the Lansdowns reign.

Now everyone can see why we will never see top flight football in Bristol, while the lunatics are running the asylum .

Give him a chance with HIS fully fit squad 1st.

All 90% fit or 90% fully fit? I'd take either.

When did we last have a fully fit squad?

More like a collection box.

Wow that bench.!!

Do we have any players nearing bookings suspension? We certainly don't need that!

That's not a bad starting 11 Spud but it leaves us very lightweight on the bench if we end up chasing the game. You're right though, it looks a very thin squad.
