Can’t help but think we have lost 4 great people, you can feel it when you see the players body language. Wonder what King was thinking. I wonder if Manning is truly aware he is in a situation where neither the majority of fans nor players wanted the last man to leave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he spoke really well at the press conference but in front of the players it was a bit awkward. Hopefully it would be different without the camera's is all I'll say! And the videos above of Flemming show why he was such a respected character for fans and players...a real loss for the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristol red Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 The whole idea is crazy. Get to the PL with this squad and sustain it cause we got a great academy… feeding the fans shite.. treating them like they have no brain cells… feeding off their hard earned cash… nasty… but that’s the Lansdown all over.. that’s their core business.. that and their tax avoidance living over in Guernsey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press conferences mean nothing, as can all talk a good game, get those players delivering on the pitch. Intrigued to see what happens. You only have to see the way the assistant behaved on Twitter with Barton to show the difference. Not convinced by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin101 Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I don’t think it matters what industry it is, if you go into a room of 30 people for the first time and they all know each other already - it’s awkward. Suspect it’s even worse when it’s 30 competitive, athletic lads tbh. I was a bit alarmed Tinnion is front and centre though. Why?

Frenchay Red Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 27 minutes ago, mozo said: I would describe Manning's first interviews as alright/fine/average. Nothing to get either excited or concerned about yet. What matters is how he talks to the players and if he can get them fit, focused and playing well. Let's see... My thoughts as well. Nothing out of the ordinary really. But not as considered and thoughtful as Nige. Different style. I am at loss though to see what a Head coach of a team we dicked 4-1 and 5-1 this year can achieve over the manager of the team inflicting said dickings! Time will tell, but I have a feeling we've been here before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will still be a huge amount of loyalty and respect for Pearson, you just hope the players take to Mannings methods fairly quickly.. Whether we win or lose Saturday I’m don’t think we can say it’s down to Manning. Give it a few games and we’ll see whether they are playing for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't his assistant in fairness just someone with the same name that Barton decided to have a digital row with. Not withstanding that though the fact that the players were clearly fully bought into NP's methods could make it difficult although you would hope that the principles and culture he set would mean they at least give it their all out of professional pride 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I wouldn't read too much into his first interviews, blimey, he's been here less than half a day! Give the bloke a break! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the bloke a break! Think everyone on here got a PhD in psychology and kinesics, the way they interpret the early videos . I think he’s spoke well so far and as he mentioned in one of the videos, the players seem engaged and focus with eye contact. Hopefully the manning era is a successful one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have expected to beat QPR if Pearson was still here so I expect us to still beat them. This guy doesn't get a grace period, he has to deliver better results than NP immediately. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Not really interested by the interview which Is just as well really. Real work starts now and only thing he'll be judged on. Good luck. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Do feel a tad uninspired. Has had 6 good months at Oxford in League 1. Was sacked at MK Dons last year. Listened to his interview on Bristol City channel and it's the usual soundbite type questions being trotted out. Pretty mundane. The one thing i'm going to miss the most about NP is that I think he really got us fans and we respected him. In this regard I think Manning has a lot to live up to. Good luck in getting us top 6 Liam, you're going to need it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-S-M Seagull Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I see that Tony Wilkins has appointed himself as Head of the Liam Manning fan club and is trying to justify the clubs reason for sacking Pearson, despite him previously being quite vocal about them sacking him. He'll also be the 1st to call for Mannings head. The guy is a constant embarrassment to himself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibs Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 The massive gamble is the sacking of Pearson IMO (and team), not necessarily the appointment of Manning. Best of luck to him though, really liked what I heard from him today and despite the crap that JL/BT came out with about budgets, injuries and promotion, my expectations for this season have not changed one bit. Top half and I’ll be content. Clearly the “promotion” stick will be used to beat him, and some posters can’t wait to use it, so just a reminder…..it wasn’t Manning that sacked Pearson 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
