petehinton Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Fair bit of backtracking/rebuttal from both Tanner & Hogg about promotion. Colour me surprised. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Not sure the fans will buy it tbh, the backtracking etc. Was the Tanner comment post match or subsequent? I missed the first 10-15 of SOTC. Edited November 13, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Seems a good guy All very generic but I guess that's to be expected this early in proceedings Not their fault they ain't Pearson and Fleming but yes the goalposts seem to have moved back down the table since they were appointed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say backtracking will be seized upon by the fans IMO, especially if we fade into midtable obscurity, season over by February or March kinda thing or even worse a relegation battle. Especially if we splash some cash in January. Open minded as to Manning and his team, only time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re in a relegation battle come the spring it will be very toxic and I’d be surprised if they are still here at that point. Who knows though, could end up with things going the other way, but no one should forget what the Lansdown’s did, and how they did it. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful we shouldn't be in a relegation battle, think we all are- NP has built a solid and improving Championship side. Midtable, fair wind very few injuries maybe a small tilt at the last play-off place but top 10 to top half, say 9th-12th could be a goal?

That would have been a hope under NP anyway, for me- and some more of the Scott money than he got, and new deal etc. I will say one good thing post Scott sale- extending Vyner, Pring and Bell to 2026. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shauntaylor85 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Whole thing sums up the shambles of events of the past month. Now we are ok to tread water and this will no doubt be another three year plan before the next….change wasn’t needed in football management, it was needed up the chain. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Our chairman and tech director believe this squad is top 6, that’s why we made the change now so that’s what we as fans need to hold them to. 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a chairman who has no football experience at that level, a technical director who was sacked in League 1 as manager for nearly getting us relegated and someone who played one season at this level in one of the worst city teams of all time under Benny. Now a manager who has only ever led a team in League One. It’s a worry, I would say the way out of the division is very clear! Worrying. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for goodness sake in reference to Tinnion, "sacked in League 1 as manager for nearly getting us relegated" - it was after 11 games he left. He'd finished one point off the play offs in his first season and who knows might even have got us up with an experienced assistant rather than Millen at the insistence of Lansdown. This isn't supporting the party line as we've been accused of on FBC this past week, it just stating the reality of what happened 18 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Tinnion finished 7th, after two third placed finishes under Wilson who had come to the end of the road. I've checked the Bristol City FC wage bill from 2003-04 to 2004-05..it barely moved downwards.

A shock departure for not meeting aims , followed by an even worse period of underachievement. All with Tinnion at the forefront.

Stewart, Bridges, Brooker, Heywood all big signings that summer, not to mention the other 3. We also had a squad who lost the play off final and good enough to go up, again like the move influenced to sack Wilson, it was to progress and it failed, terribly. Culminating in Dinning and Luton/Swansea away. What I am saying is lightening appears to strike twice and I didn’t like it either time! Nor should it have happened. I have lost a lot of faith over the past few months behind the scenes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inheriting a side that had finished in 3rd place in consecutive seasons- whereas he failed to even make the playoffs. Let’s not dress it up, he failed & when the following summer he ripped his squad up, his signings like Dave Partridge (!), Grant Smith & Michael Bridges were litter. No one else ever employed him as a manager again. Those are the facts. 8 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a perfect DoF in NP who has created success at the highest level. What a mess up. But this is the issue, it’s a comfy club as NP once said, and we are reverting even more so back to this.

Totally different vibe amongst the fanbase and a much greater chance of success. *Preferably after having this full season to attempt a play off push Edited November 13, 2023 by cidercity1987 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
