Red Army 75 Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Livid with the Lansdowns, it’s all underwhelming for me but will back him and hope he does well. Glad it’s over though as there has been some absolute horseshit posted over the last 8 days on this forum 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Live said there had been contact this morning. So 8 days before he was contacted, how far down the list was he? How many turned us down before? Obviously not first choice.

ZiderEyed Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 If we'd just sacked a manager and both Pearson and Manning wanted the job, this place would ******* explode if we appointed Manning. All a bit of a let down to be honest. Uninspiring is the word. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be days and days of negotiation through agents. Manning will say there’s no contact, because technically there hasn’t been….the contact is through third parties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gives a ****? Had you ever heard of: Scott Murray? Albert Adomah? Alex Scott? Had you ever heard of Eddie Howe before he was appointed the first time at Bournemouth? Have you ever heard of Keiran Mckenna before he took Ipswich job. But we had heard of big names such as, Marcus Stewart, David James, Michael Bridges... Those went well... 9 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 38, fresh ideas, seems to have a v good track record with developing youth. I've been quite a big critic of Jon, but at least he's stuck to his initial statement of getting in a progressive coach that likes to play front footed football, even if it may not be the most 'impressive' appointment out there, which he seemingly also did say Does this not concern you? Out of interest which youth players has he developed in his short managerial career? JL also said we expect a top 6 finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Good luck to him. It's not his fault he's been offered the job and accepted it (if he has). I will reserve judgment until I see what happens on the pitch over the next season or two and how much budget he is given compared to the man he is taking over from. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollsRoyce Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 3 minutes ago, 38MC said: I'm not so sure. I don't think we have the right infrastructure in place to support a young coach. Feels very, very much like when Derek McInnes came in - young, progressive, doing well with a small club. They have very similar experience in terms of numbers of games managed and win percentages. Frankly, not the type the club needs, the club can support and think this will go the same way to be honest. Indeed, it is wash, rinse, repeat. The Lansdown dream of finding a new young, unproven manager. It has failed every single time, only for more experienced and competent heads to create a team ethic and club culture and drap them back from collapse. it is as if every time he nears a sniff of success, he can forget everything that created it and return to type. Good luck to this chap, never heard of him, but he has two useless support pillars in Tinnion and Lansdown. That is the issue at BCFC. But they get their yes man who they can manipulate, more in their comfort zone. Bless. Bit of pressure having to get a promotion this season though. That was a tough burden to give an unproven young manager. But the 2 really under the spotlight are the Snake and Crayola. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) Not knocking Manning, good luck to him- he'll need it! This is underwhelming though. Albeit not unexpected.

Riaz Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 One things for sure, how this goes, for me is down to the Lansdowns. If we struggle - It will be on them. We had a good manager - they better hope manning is a good manager for us. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfitInMyPocket Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 There's the inspiring and exciting appointment that was touted at on here then! It was bound to be him, wish him the best of luck but if we don't get playoffs this year my attention turns to JL/BT. If he says anything like box entries or corridor of maximum opportunity I'll have a breakdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mistake me for agreeing with this In hindsight they've been planning for a future without NP, it's now clear this is why no money was made available after Scott was sold My only query is if there was no long term backing why didn't NP get the boot last summer? It makes us feel even more like a rich man's toy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
