The best things Liam Manning didn't say

[Marina's Rolls Royce]

Massive club

Sleeping giant

Promotion

Great owners

[sglosbcfc]

Europe in 5 years!

He definitely has a few LJs and MAs in his locker.

It'll be interesting to see how the fan base react to his post match interviews, especially if we haven't performed. 

We've got used to a man speaking to us in a considered well thought out way, with no 'Coach/ Corporate speech and terminology, saying it like it is.

I do recall some annoyance with the ever present "we are where we are"

[Mad Cyril]

I want to physically hurl if I hear "we go again"....

[Iron Acton Red]

He did say (you know) about 100 times though.

[And Its Smith]

I didn’t have to listen on x 2 speed

I might avoid the first few until he settles in.
Nige definitely changed over time and became more considered , to just take a beat before reply. He didn't suffer fools, which is probably why he would just breath before answering . Most Managers are boring, I started to like Pearson & Flemming Pressers over time , so won't complain about Manning's early efforts.

Does that make him a know-it-all?

Little does he know, that we know, that he knows, that we know all about him.

If they continue his you know’s could quickly drive me bonkers!

Agree, way too early to judge him on interviews.

Especially the one where he addressed the players, to have to do that with a camera in the room would have been hard for a seasoned campaigner.

Yep, the “I’m very process driven” comment in his talk to the players made me cringe a little bit. 

[Red Cloud]

"like I say" when they haven't actually said it

[Harry]

Dare I say it, but his words reminded me very much of Sean O’Driscoll’s words. 
 

I don’t focus on outcomes, it’s the processes. 
Want to empower the players to make decisions on the pitch. 
Hard work is essential (Sod always spoke of the things that “are free”, effort, determination).

They have cliche classes from a young age.

[The Enormous Turnip]

Appreciate this is a thread aimed at what Manning didn't say, and this probably stood out like a sore thumb because NP was such a beacon of considered, articulate thoughts after the cliche bingo of LJ / MA - but in the few clips I've seen, I've already lost count of how many times he's said "the big bit" or variations thereof.

  

"The big bit for me is I want people to enjoy watching this time"

"The big bit is the playing group that's currently here"

"It starts with behaviours, that's the most important bit"

"That's the biggest bit, how you look at the weekend, win, lose or draw"

""Being open to learning, being coachable, I think that's the biggest bit"

"How we review sessions, how we review games, how we analyse everything... that's the biggest bit"

"The big bit is getting results and winning games"

  

But Liam, which of the big bits is the biggest!?

Why? It's the right way to do things, and it's also how Pearson operated - get the process and system right and let the results take care of themselves.

[54-46]

Disappointing to see he's a bit of a Bald Denier though.  Deffo needs to get the clippers to his bonce imo.

I've got the biggest bit of them all!

What he should be saying "right lads, no plan we are just going to **** around a bit and see what falls into place"? 

If course he's going to be process driven so Fleming, so is Euell, because if they don't ha e a process you get **** all out at the end of it. 

You think Nige didn't have processes in place,that were followed by his coaches and himself? 

[Desso]

Wish he'd talk a bit slower, had a job to hear all he said. Bit different to NP.

[Malago]

Potential.
