Popular Post BS3_RED Posted February 10 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) I've never seen so many people moan as I have since manning took charge. Some of the flack he has took is a joke. New to this standard and club it would always take a bit of time. We have put good performances in the cup and if we can replicate that in the league we will do well. Watford away was outstanding and today was also pretty spot on from the small part i watched ( I was working today) I really think that people are giving him the flack for decisions that are beyond his control (NP sacking). We are safe this season, so just sit back, shut the fck up and lets see what happens in August. EDIT Oh and if you want to slag me off for daring to see things different, go ahead. I could not give a shit. If watching City really pisses you off that much, you can always go and watch the sags. You wont be missed.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) Not solely Manning, was the circumstances in which he came in, the hierarchy and their absurd statements and yes critique of the back 3. Some leaping to defend Manning at all costs vs every criticism or even critique, is unusual too.

cidercity1987 Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 What a weird post Manning has barely taken any stick and only very few shouting for him to be sacked , it's all directed at Tinnion and Lansdown We are far from the play off challengers they hoped for in making the change 17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont see that then you are as biased as the rest. People earlier commenting on how they hoped Eustice would not take the Blackburn job so he could take over here when Manning is sacked.

Surely you can see that this is the main gripe many people had with the decision? We were in touch with the top 6 when Pearson was sacked. Ive never been angry with Manning, I really want him to do well. My issue was with the timing and the fact that Pearson could’ve been backed more in the Summer after the sale of Scott. I can guarantee you that every City fan unhappy with the way Pearson was treated still wants Manning to succeed.

People earlier commenting on how they hoped Eustice would not take the Blackburn job so he could take over here when Manning is sacked. I think we are all delighted with our first league victory of the calendar year. In fact I said the other night I would take this over beating Forest and I stand by that. Now to follow it up with some more points over the coming weeks. Not expecting much on Tuesday EXCEPT we must play a damn sight better than we did against Leeds whatever the final score. Southampton haven't lost in 22 and so we need to go out there and at least look like we are trying to ruin their record. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) He should get some stick, nothing is personal and he’s paid well to take it Points haul has been poor and performances have been mixed since he arrived Most of the criticism has been aimed at BT and JL Edited February 10 by Rossi the Robin 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3_RED Posted February 10 Author Report Share Posted February 10 I should add, would I have sacked NP...no. Would I have renewed his contract...no. None of that is on Manning though and I can see the pattern of play that he is trying to achieve. Under NP we soaked up pressure and NEVER looked comfortable in the last ten minutes. We would sit back and back and would let the oppo score. At least under Manning we try and play (it does not always work YET) Oh and Leeds squad is worth 5 times ours, so get a grip with the Leeds shite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) If you read the forum, it’s actually only a handful of people who micro analyse every word/action/decision/interview and look to find something negative. The trouble is, they repeat it numerous times on every thread. I think the vast majority are relatively happy with him, and realise that it’s the people above him who are the problem.

If.we are playing that game, the last paragraph yes Leeds are in a rich vein of form but.. Birmingham 1 Leeds 0 Preston 2 Leeds 1 Rotherham 1 Leeds 1 Stoke 1 Leeds 0 Sunderland 1 Leeds 0 West Brom 1 Leeds 0 Yeah we may well lose, Leeds may well outplay anyway but we have to give ourselves the best possible chance. On the road notably, Leeds have not been infallible. Edited February 10 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it looks like that sometimes mate but I can’t imagine any City fan ever wants us to lose, even if it proves them right. If we had some cock like Barton or Pulis in charge that might change but I know from my personal point that the decision and the risk seemed so unnecessary at the time. If we push on next season then great, we’ll all be happy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LondonBristolian Posted February 10 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) Personally, I think anyone who wants to post a smug anti-Manning post each time we lose or a smug pro-Manning post each time we win needs to take a deep breath and grow the Hell up. The defeat against Leeds didn’t prove anything and a first win in six league games proves nothing either. Manning deserves to be judged on performances across the season - not just one result. He got frankly unfair flack last week for a poor result against a top team with our three most creative players missing but it doesn’t need to be “balanced out” by a bizarrely smug response to us winning our first league game of the year in mid-February. This thread is more than a little embarrassing. Edited February 10 by LondonBristolian 18 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 I feared we might slide after watching the Leeds game but despite the penalties the last 2 results, at full time, have given me a lot of hope. It tells us that the players are together and are ok with LMs plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Behave. Liams got criticism and it’s been justified. His in game management has been sub par. That’s nothing to do with Pearson, it’s totally on him. It’s also more than reasonable to question if he’s the right man for the job. He hasn’t got a CV that would scream he is, and it’s a step above anything he’s managed before. (Note - taking time to adapt is fine but it’s not a guarantee of success, so this narrative of “he needs time and it’s fine” really needs to stop as if it’s unquestionable truth) We all want him to succeed. I don’t pay £800 on season tickets to want to see someone fail and hurt our club! But asking legitimate questions about how he’s approaching games, particularly with a sketchy record elsewhere and here so far is absolutely legitimate. Posts like this are just nonsensical. If we’re not allowed to critique what we see, then what is the point of the forum? 10 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) OP I like Manning, it is two idiots in particular above him who have caused the discord, polarisation, splits whatever you want to call it IMO.

Jose Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Barely watched the game but would like to point score. Brilliant. For the record very happy with the first half but slightly concerned with the second. Sat in the stand slightly miffed how we can go looking so good first half and so bad the second half. But over the moon with the three points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the road notably, Leeds have not been infallible. All true but Leeds are even more of a bogey team for us than Preston were. That said we were really poor and part of that was the set up and tactics. Glad we competed the double over Boro and hoping we can repeat our last home league score against Southampton on Tuesday… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NP has gone and the club moves on even if you can't. Your recent repetitive statements that the season was over in January is somewhat misguided but no doubt if NP was still in charge and in the same points position then you'd be booking hotels in Manchester for next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird how cultish OTIB is about regularly having pops at posters across a period of time. More like a pub than a forum at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
