I can’t prove anything obviously, but I would say an experienced championship manager would have got us 3 points at QPR and another 3 points today.

Simon bristol Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 At least nige had earned the right to play the last 3 games, we have a mk dons reject who is trying to get us to play possession football with footballers who are incapable of doing it. What an upgrade that is. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westonred Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 The tactics and substitutions were baffling today Playing players out of position taking our better players off I just hope Manning is allowed to bring in 4 or 5 players of his own players in January so he can show us what he was brought in for, as at the moment he is no better manager than we already had .

SomeRandomBristolian Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Nige was a fantastic motivator and manager and the players clearly enjoyed playing for him, as he really brought the best out of them. Now they are playing a different style of football and struggling. It really shows today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 What you could reasonably say about and expect from Nige, is that he would keep us in this division; it might not be pretty, or exciting, and we would throw the odd one way late on, but he could keep this ship afloat. With his successor, nobody can be reasonably sure of anything. We just don’t know. There's insufficient to go on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ChippenhamRed Posted December 3, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 This thread is exactly what I feared when they sacked Pearson. Whoever the new man was, they were never going to be given the benefit of time when the outgoing manager was widely regarded to be doing a good job. It’s not really fair on Manning, but I blame the board for that. They have created this entirely avoidable discontent. 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesnt have the right to decide, but his dealing with the idiots running the club for the last few years meant he should have been given the rest of his contract, especially january to continue what he had started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Oil Services Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 European manager needed, more like, I would say. Or we cast our net a little further than this little island and the home-grown coaches that wouldn't be getting jobs elsewhere in the non-English speaking football world. It's almost comical the way we continue to recruit for this position in the same way from the same "pool" as we have since before the 20th century got going, despite all the evidence pointing to the fact that English/UK coaches are not the best, not even in England. I am at this moment reminded of Carry On Up The Khyber where the Lansdowns are dining with Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Peter Butterworth and Joan Sims, continuing to select from the English "menu," whilst being shelled from those ghastly foreign chaps, and the ceiling and plaster falling around them as they carry on regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board seeing that the grass isn’t always greener! We’ve got an experienced manager. He experienced a good hiding at Swansea. He’s basically the main man at the football club now, and has brought in an ‘on the grass’ coach to do what he couldn’t. This won’t end well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Seems to me that the boy in charge, JL, has appointed another boy, Manning, whilst sacking a real man/manager in Nige. I fear for our immediate future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
