Silvio Dante Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 (edited) (Been looking for a reason to use that title for a while). Was looking at the Oxford forum this morning - interestingly enough they’re having the same debate as seems to be on here, but also have the added piece of a Des Buckingham stay/go poll (and he’s been in place shorter than Liam!). Mentally, he hasn’t even had an assistant to date. https://yellowsforum.co.uk/threads/des-buckingham.10056/page-98 Its quite interesting to read through - it wasn’t totally helpful (although was in part) not long after Liam left Oxford as it was a bit raw for them but now there are a few cooler heads on his reign and there is a lot of comparative between him and Buckingham style wise, circumstance wise. Just a bit to read from the angle of having lost Manning and see what you’ve lost as opposed to what you’ve gained in the appointment Edited February 5 by Silvio Dante 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 (edited) Poor old DES! It's almost a mirror reflection of our own wonderful forum? Some want Des to succeed, and others believe he is tactically inept? It's the same old, same old, which is a mixture of intelligent insight, and knee jerk stupidity. I would imagine Fan forums are pretty much similar everywhere, (apart from the club name), where ever you choose to delve into?

Change the individual names and the background colour to red and it could easily be here. Interesting it was mentioned that they felt 2nd place was a falsely high position at the point when LM left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about fans of other clubs I know I think we’re relatively patient with our managers actually. We are. No matter what the odd person on here thinks. So that’s a poll on Oxford forum and Sunderland twitter asking about a possible sacking. I’ve seen one comment on here calling for Manning to go. That’s it. Yes some debate whether he will succeed but more realise we need to stick with him and hope he can get something out of this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did pick up on that - wondering whether there was some “dumping bias” but it was made amongst what looked like reasonably considered posts.

Oh, we’re certainly patient here, but that comes after years of practice of constantly lowering our expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a club and even fanbase sure but I do think Manning may be afforded less patience than many were, owing to the circs surrounding the change. Which isn't fair on him really and I wish it wasn't so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Bladder Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 I'm not moaning, as like the Lansdown's I don't want to see City promoted either. A) I'd probably be priced out of watching us B) The Prem can stick that f@cking VAR where the sun don't shine C) Don't want to see us getting battered every week ( though I'm kind of getting used to that one at the moment) D) Never get to KO at 3pm on a Saturday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree SD and don’t think it was dump biase and they seemed to be pretty balanced to be fair. What I find interesting is that in spite of them having their HC nicked and us doing the nicking, both sets of fans seem similarly meh about their new appointments though and pretty scathing of their club’s ownership. Reading that made me feel like we haven’t actually come out any better than they have, as it currently stands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not know them by name, but A Punk was probably the most used promo music around for ages, on TV and radio. Very "percussive" band, I have always liked how every instrument and even the vocals at times seem to have a beat to them.

And now the South Stand turnstiles, I can see them too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
