Popular Post JP Hampton Posted February 18 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 18 As always a good podcast. Echoing much of what fans have been saying on here, but what amazes me is how Ian is now able to be so reasonable about LM failings, having never been so with NP. It smacks of being so hypocritical having a go at fans who are moaning about yesterday. He cuts LM so much slack. He mentions allowing him preparation time, the calibre of the players he’s got and “looking in his rear view mirror” about yesterdays game, in other words putting it behind us (which is fair enough but let’s have that across the board). He actually said that he was fed up with fans, who were exalting LM after the wins against Boro’ and S’Hampton and are now saying after yesterday’s game makes him the worst manager. Said he can’t do tricks etc. Never heard him being so supportive of NP or allowing any of the very real challenges that NP faced as an excuse for not doing better. This change of face seems to have come about since his ITK status, maybe coincidence? Makes me laugh 19 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 It's his view, fully entitled to it but smacks of major double standards for sure. He I read on here stated his view that the Championship should be 20 teams. Is he a recent convert? It's been 24 sides for 30 years maybe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 (edited) I wrote on another thread that Ian got his obligatory dig at Pearson in early this week. Yes Ian is regarding Mr Pearson as @Robbored was regarding Gary Johnson. All very annoying so only watched the first 15 or so this week! The youngster with @headhunter was very good and I would expect to see more of him as he was clear about what he saw and thought and I think Spot on! Also he is not weighed down by having to justify previous statements!! Edited February 18 by REDOXO 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aipearcey Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Has his openness to be reasonable coincided with the timeframe since he’s apparently been “in the know”? Just wondered if someone in the club has offered small nuggets of information in return for not going too over the top with views that the club would not like being pushed onto fans? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it’s already balanced by Mark Dave and Tom who was on today. As said in the opening line it’s a good podcast and I wouldn’t do anything like as good a job, that doesn’t mean I can’t comment on an individual’s double standards. Even headhunter mentioned towards the end of the podcast, that Ian would already have his excuses for LM ready about the next game.

Brian Tinnion is feeding him info either directly or indirectly. Directly is my guess. And it’s not unusual for clubs to do this either, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes to try and offset some flak. If I was the club, getting a bit of stick from fans, who would I choose (against my better judgement) - a Nige-hater with a big opinion. Ian fits the bill perfectly to be a LM / Club advocate.

LondonBristolian Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 To be honest, you get arseholes who overstate their importance and present themselves as “the voice” of a group of people in every walk of life. Everyone knows that Ian Gay does not in any possible way represent the voice of Bristol City fans and everyone knows he will take every opportunity to pretend that he does. The more publicity he gets, the more he will do it. So the obvious answer is to ignore him. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why you feel embarrassed, he's hardly a voice for the club or fanbase, sadly social media is full of people promoting their own views whether we agree with them or not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Gets on his high horse about NP whenever he is mentioned. Makes me question whether Nige shagged his wife or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
