Bazooka Joe Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Tinnion was a decent player, but IMO never deserved the accolade of legend. My fear is, that because of his sycophancy and plotting, this so-called legend will one day (if not already) be labelled a bell-end. A sad state of affairs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear from Tins vid this isn't a start again, and would tie in with the sometimes it isn't the person who does the dirty work to get things altered that gets the glory, quite often it's the next one . Really gunning for the Prem? Based on what? We don't sell a £25m star and refuse to replace him, making the squad worse, and then expect better results. Never mind the 1 GK situtaion (who probably isn't good enough longer term) They're either making excuses or delusional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsaw Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 It's so sad to see what my favourite city player has become, talk about total trashing your reputation, Clearly needs to be got out the club as if he really believe the stuff he's saying then we got no hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniro Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 We'd just about forgiven Tinnion for his spell as worst City manager ever (a crowded field if ever there was one), but he's doing a good job of trashing his reputation and the affection some of us have because of his long association with the club. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. There may have been justification if they had someone specific lined up, or they believed could take us to the next level. If they'd come out and said we've got a good squad, and we think <insert manager name> here is the one to get more from it, then you could probably make sense of it. The fact they've pulled the trigger with presumably no one lined up is crazy - especially with 2 must win games ahead. It's not even like a normal situation where you may get a "new manager" bounce next week - because the players are likely pissed off themselves. It's not like NP had lost the dressing room. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDziek Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 It’s the arrogance of it that gets me. Paraphrasing but essentially saying that We’ve got this great squad and the rest of the championship find us difficult to defend against, and we’re going to play this particular style of football and the new HC will take that forward. i don’t think many people would say we have a top 6 squad. With some astute additions from the Scott money, it could have been. But top 10 this season would have been continued progression on the pitch and we’d surely have been happy about that. Barring injuries, we’d either be in the top 6 or not very far out of it under Nige. Injuries have killed us, there ain’t many teams that could sustain that many injuries in key positions and continue picking up points. if BT was taking forward this establish way of playing that he’d been successful with elsewhere, then fair enough. But it does smack of comments he made when becoming manager previously, and we know how that turned out. Nige has gone and ain’t coming back, so we need to now recruit the best fit for the club - someone who presumably will bring their own staff (well, let’s at least hope they know a good Head of Physio, anyway). Surely the best fit includes the remit of deciding how we best play with the players we have available and what their blueprint is for the future, not just having to accept BT’s vision and work to it. Remarkable how he’s come to have so much power having achieved so little outside of what he’s done with the Academy. just can’t help feeling we’re getting it totally wrong (quelle surprise) and we’re going to implode. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibbsyBCFC Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 The guy can't even spell the word "technical" correctly on his LinkedIn profile. Totally over-promoted. They'd better unearth the next Thomas Frank through either luck or judgement, otherwise Tinnion's time here will end the same way as Les Ferdinand's reign as QPR's Director of Football. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Bladder Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Funny. At the start of the season I looked at the squad and thought we'd be lower mid table, at best They thought we'd be challenging for promotion They talk the talk, but don't walk the walk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben1980 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 The situation all makes makes sense now with hindsight - Tinnion power grab. As others have said, lets hope that he turns out to be a better Technical Director than he was a Manager - surely couldn't be worse. At least Swansea Away has already been played this season. Really shocked at just how amateurishly the whole situation has been handled and my expectations were already low. Gutted to have lost Nige and emailed his agent Dean Eldredge to pass on my thanks for making me feel connected with the team again over the past couple of years. It is embarrassing how he has been treated by the club. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he’s talking utter bollocks, the players we’ve got are suited to counter attacking football. Last season, particularly after Christmas when Alex Scott really came into his own we were much better in possession, but without him we don’t really have much creativity in midfield. He talked about the pace in the team, that’s not much good when trying to break a team down when you’re chasing the game, that’s where you need someone who can play that killer pass, and we don’t have anyone capable of that at the moment. There should have been a creative midfielder lined up to come in, it was blatantly obvious AS was going to be off, and as Tins is in charge of recruitment, then he’s culpable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr X Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 This photo shows the extent of Tinnion's footballing knowledge at first team level.

formerly known as ivan Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Probably mentioned elsewhere but not having time to read through 12 pages so will make the comment myself… Both BT and JL interviews are a cop out! Wouldn’t go on radio, instead released a premeditated interview under no pressure to answer real questions. And even then they have failed to address any of the points the fans are angry about, the main one being why sack Pearson! It goes from bad to worse with this club. Edit: I know they did give a reason, it was just bullsh!t! Edited October 31, 2023 by formerly known as ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben1980 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I’d honestly expect better comms and decision-making from a couple of old women organising a jumble sale.

gavlin Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, LondonBristolian said: What I would say is the club have at least realised people are angry and they need to get a comms message out. At the same time, they've potentially set a rod up for their own backs here as the new manager has to a) play front foot, attacking, pressing football (i.e probably not Gary Rowett or Nathan Jones) b) reduce the number of injuries c) get the team up the league d) keep bringing young players through. To be honest, if they did all that, I'd be delighted and I might even hold my hands up and say maybe the club got it right and we got it wrong. But there are a lot of "ifs" there and, now they've set out the terms the new manager has to succeed on, they don't have a lot of room to justify themselves if those four things don't happen You forgot e) Once the young players play regularly for the first team sell them at big money and when the manager doesn’t like it .

Full nelson Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) All this stems from the selling of alex Scott. Nige wanted Yates but asked for money upfront before the Scott departure so he could secure the move. Was promised money and when asked it was denied. Wanted another striker (langstaff, from Notts C) but was told you got two players in Bell and Conway. Asked to develop Conway to be sold for 20+ plus million in 2 years time. No interviews currently being done, what a shit show this club is. I'm beyond angry!! Edited October 31, 2023 by Full nelson 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
