Popular Post Silvio Dante Posted November 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 User: Zuni Joined: 28th October (day before Pearson sacked) Last Visited: Tuesday (day Manning appointed) Posts: 183 (so going from a new user to 18 posts a day for 10 days then zero, with several posts critical of Pearson/supportive of the board) We see you Jon. We see your bullshit. It doesn’t stop us wanting to see Liam being successful but if you want to block people (not me incidentally) on Twitter and bemoan social media with Joe Sims, maybe just understand how the thing works. 19 4 5 14 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I really don’t get the fascination with it all. Logically, even if Bristol Sport employees signed up to the forum, couldn’t it just be they had an opinion on big news in their workplace? Could be non football fans but found themselves in a job at BS and started following City, Bears and Flyers and has gotten into it. Don’t many of you follow your work place on social media? So they come here to express actual opinions and get bullied off of the forum. Not very fair to fellow city fans. Maybe it was some sort of ploy by hierarchy but surely more likely just normal people wanting to discuss a hobby? 2 7 2 1 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Yes but we’re “conspiracy theorists” for pointing out these posters. The ones who mysteriously arrive, slag off Pearson but were nowhere to be seen when there was criticism of him around the WBA & Stoke games last December. Now disappear. This isn’t aimed at those who I disagree with, but who have been on here all along, saying they don’t rate him, by the way. 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it’s not their place to effectively spread propaganda on an independent fans forum to try and give the illusion that there is support for their actions within the fan base. 26 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleRed Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Can’t we just ignore them? Not react to them and not reply to them? Or is this what people do to kill a bit of time, smoke their cigar like columbo and put in some detective work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settle down champ and let me take you down the rabbit hole… Forget the new accounts, they’re obvious (if slightly weird behaviour). The real highlight is the group of accounts that registered around 2015. Most of these didn’t have many posts till recently, but almost all have been nudging certain messages when they have been active. In the last month they seem to have become really active. Total coincidence? Yeah probably. Too much time on my hands? Almost certainly. Still, it’s nice to dust off the human intelligence sourcing for an hour. 5 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. This is a fantastic forum, one of the best on the web. The fact that the club appear to have prima facie tried to engineer it is totally out of order. The question has to be if Zuni was such a passionate Bristol City fan (and I don’t discount that people signing up who support the current regime are), why did he/she start becoming passionate when Pearson was sacked but decided to leave the forum when he was replaced. Did they stop caring after that point? Unfortunately the whole scenario has the fingerprints of the ham fisted way JL and BT have handled things. Own your decision you cowards. 15 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t need a spreadsheet, mask and a cape to notice that do you! What happened in 2015? Nov / Dec accounts, as they were gearing up for an event.

The Masked Man Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Football is increasingly data driven so one assumes that somewhere there is some analysis that backs up the view that the squad should be challenging for the top six..... Without data all we're left with are thoughts and opinions. The problem is that most of us think that the club moved Pearson on because his face didn't fit rather than for footballing reasons. We can't change where we are so we need to give Manning a fair chance. But it's difficult to know what that is without knowing the data on what he's got at his disposal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP has stated facts which for lots of people are reasonably compelling, the alternative argument appears to be to call them paranoid, not sure “you’ve a psychological problem” is winning the debate, but if that’s the route, fair enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
