Riaz Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I Love tinman - And he has his qualities. He can certainly spot talent. But judging how a good a team is and the running of a team - he's proven to be not very good at that. He's a failed manager. I would trust Nigel Pearson far more than Tinman. Club making a massive mistake. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such blatent horseshit and to think we'd feed into it is astonishing. And the use of the word head coach. Ugh this is just a ******* vicious cycle were going through isn't it. Yep. Back to the LJ model! Wonderful! Yes people and comfy ex players! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyez Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I was just about ready to knock it all on the head after the news broke about Nige. These two interviews have just clarified things for me. Never been so disenchanted with this football club. Utterly despicable. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!james Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 He is definitely being held hostage. Jon Lansdown is just off camera with a loaded gun just incase he says anything positive about Nige. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make you wonder if there’s something around NPs medical/personal issues - which is what there have been lots of rumours and talk about - and they don’t feel they can say anything publicly about?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 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 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 87 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 So basically the head coach will come in and do what Tins tells him to do and only what Tins tells him. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tinnion answers - accurately or otherwise - in the interview. It seems to be fairly clearly about the ability to keep the squad fit and injury free. True or not, that seems to be what he's pinning it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Simon bristol Posted October 31, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 No one has still explained how a club that finished 14th last year, and sold its best youth player in decades while signing a couple of lads for 1-2 million and having 1 keeper who has ever played a championship game was suddenly supposed to be pushing for promotion? If tinman really believes that then we are even more screwed. In the unlikely event that we dont finish in the top 6 with no new signings in January and the new manager of their choosing, i assume he and the lansdowns will take responsibility for their decisions and resign? 30 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 What qualifications has this man got to have such a role in the club? Seriously?! A failed manager and………..**** all that’s what.

Isawjonshaw Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I heard from a former player (a year ago) that Tinnion has more power than Pearson. I laughed it off at the time.

And when the next "head coach" fails, because he will. We will go back to a more experienced manager to sort the mess out, and sack him at the first opportunity to go back to this yes man head coach nonsense so son and daddy can have control. It's nonsense and will never work. We are going nowhere until they sell up. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 One of my heroes fast becoming a City zero. Jesus wept. Utter utter shite. ‘When they are all fit we are in a good place’. Well no shit Sherlock……‘training should’ve been adapted’…..to what? ‘We’ve got good people and stability’……judging by yours and Junior Cretins interview that couldn’t be further from the truth….’Ali Hynes knows how we want to play’ what and Pearson didn’t? You’ve embarrassed yourself there Brian. Pathetic. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) The coaches will have to come in and play "our" way. Well then you'd just as well be that coach, you plonker. This club has to be on a wind-up, it has to be.

A Horse With No Name Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Seems as though the new head coach will be told what to do and exactly how to do it by the suits, pretty much at interview. Any deviation from 'their way' and he has no chance. I wonder what would happen if a Warnock or a Rowett says that he can guarantee a play off place, but it won't be pretty to watch. Would they go for it or do they know better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
