Numero Uno Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Nige knew this was coming weeks ago but the complete and utter coward in charge waited for a Derby defeat when we only had 11, 12 if you count young Yeboah, first team players available before he pushed the button. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarksRobin Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Three years building a team under a manager and now we will start again. No doubt the new manager will want at least three transfer windows. If they spend two months on an exhaustive process only to appoint Curtis Fleming, nothing against him but we just look like a clown show.

Lack of Action Man Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I’ve never seen the fan base so United on an issue before as this. In reading this thread I don’t think I’ve seen a single post suggesting this was a good idea. Only a handful that were apathetical at best. SL & JL have seriously misjudged this one. I know I’ve complained about AG being “too nice” and lacking atmosphere recently. I don’t think that’s going to be a problem anymore! Hope they’re ready for an almighty load of flak coming their way. As for NP himself, I seriously struggle to think who could have done any better given he had next to no money to spend, was hamstrung by ridiculous injuries, and inherited a club in total disarray following the LJ/MA/DH saga. What a ******* joke the executive of this club is. Ps. If LJ comes back, I want my ST refunded. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Got to say, most times a manager goes there is some sadness, but results meant it was kind of coming. This one, despite the recent rumours, I just thought ‘no way’. Everyone can see how we are improving and what he is achieving with huge constraints. Absolutely nonsense decision. Quite angry tbh, as well as an awful lot of sympathy for NP who did not deserve this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Well there were a few on here suggesting this was happening today/tomorrow, I just couldn’t see it. However good their intentions, the Lansdowns continue to show their total lack of ability to run a successful football club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomThumb84 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Wont be on here for a while or around the club. Stockholm Syndrome with these Lansdown clowns and this is the final straw. Finest manager with the most integrity this club has had since Terry Cooper. **** this lot. Too much for this club. Cheers Nige, and all the best. Edited October 29, 2023 by TomThumb84 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizzleRed Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Piss off Lansdown and take your dopey son with you. Made some really shit calls in the past, but this one tops them all by a mile. You had the right man at the club Lansdown, but you’ve ****** it right up. This just confirms he’s ******* clueless about football 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a debate for another day anyway. But they’re more likely to stare at results than delve into the context of those results. Based on league position we’re not much further forward than when he started, but anyone with a clue as to the circumstances (generally City fans), will understand that’s probably the equivalent of at least one promotion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I wasn’t part of the ‘love-in’ with Pearson, but unless someone really good is lined up (which I doubt) then this stinks of something personal. there had better be a good plan in place - because right now it looks like a suicidal move. I’ll support whoever replaces him - unless it’s Barton - if it’s him then I’ll not set foot on Ashton Gate soil or buy anything from the club until he’s gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Well for me, he can leave with his head held high on a job well done. We were broken and he fixed us, gave us a team we believed in again. I just hope the next man comes in and makes good on all his hard work.

Engvall’s Splinter Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 29 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: Okay I'll try to rationalise the promotion comment. The decision is a disgrace let's clear that bit up. Maybe NP had some positional or points target. Once that became impossible to achieve the position came under greater scrutiny. Do you reckon the potential target was before or after the summer recruitment Plan A and Plan B was trashed by the board in favour of go with what you’ve got?

Roadrunner Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I am gutted, i feel for Nigel. The quicker the Lansdowns leave and a new owner is in placenthe better. Did they look at the bench on Saturday we were at rock bottom re our squad. That is not Nigels fault. This is one of the wrost desions ever made by a owner of Bristol City. Sell up and be gone.
