Top Robin Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 18 minutes ago, Merrick's Marvels said: We don't have dead wood anymore - and we have Nigel Pearson to thank for that. Every player in the first team squad now makes a contribution of one kind or another, on or off the pitch - we have Nigel Pearson to thank for that. Unlike under many, too many, previous managers, we no longer have leaches taking a salary but contributing nothing, spreading bad vibes with bad attitude. All that's gone. Thanks to Nigel Pearson. His man-management and leadership were superb. FFS let it go - it's verging on embarrassing. And call them dead wood or average players or players past their best, same difference really - but to include Wells, Tanner, King, OLeary, Weiman, maybe Williams and James. If we want to progress further, we need a refresh..and not just the manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Can't be bothered to read the preceding 68 pages but P69 is my favourite arf arf. So anyway, just tried to place a bet on Manning becoming the next Head Coach but was told it was suspended. Make of that what you will. I'm not ITK, but I think something may be happening.

Nope, we've established in the previous 68 pages that Manning is definitely not coming to City and was just a smokescreen. You'll have to read the previous 68 pages to get the full picture. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let it get to you friend. New posters and your views are always welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even maybe the odd Bristol Sport employee who happens to support us, prior to the Bristol Sport thing. There is a human angle here as well - most of us take pride in the company we work for, and in the case of BS employees, they’ll have seen Tinnion, Lansdown and to a lesser extent Kelly and Marshall get a shoeing and be predisposed to defend them - maybe in view of supporting the company but moreso on supporting people they like and work with. If people have signed up with BS addresses and real names it is beyond moronic, but the sentiment I kind of “get”. It is a fact though that we’ve had a number of posters sign up who are posting views contrary to the majority. That doesn’t mean the majority are right, but in view of what the new posters are posting, there are clear and obvious signs that something doesn’t look entirely normal when I think about how this forums been used (with a variety of viewpoints) for 10 plus years. It looks coordinated but I can see how it would be accidentally so. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Element of PR, element of defending company and individuals people may work with and think are getting an unfair press that sort of thing. Definitely they should be a bit careful about names and addresses albeit that does display a certain level of transparency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we all know that you'll be dying to scream for him to be sacked as soon as he loses a couple of games. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest were they openly showing that they were employees of Bristol Sport via their user name or in their posts or was it more cloak and dagger? If the latter then I'm afraid that's very very poor and extremely underhand and paints Bristol Sport very badly for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
