Cole Not Gas Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Little between Watford's league position/form and ours. They reckon beating Rotherham put them in the perfect position to be in the mix for Top 6. Do you agree with them or think that their one win in five is such poor form they are just joking? If anyone from City's management took that positive, cheerful, optimistic view today, some other posters on here would choose to mock them forever if we dont make it; Why do people still quote opinions expressed by Tinman in 2023? IMO it is very unlikely this season but as we are clearly building for next season, a strong finish would do us no harm Sunderland are a much bigger club than us and probably have higher expectations of a fan base double our size but they sack Beale today for only being on 47 points Its a strange old league, this one but many advantages over being in the VAR-ridden Premier League 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to this season? Why did we write this season off to build for next season? Yea Sunderland are a bigger club but our expectations are exactly the same. Get promoted. What's with the small club mentality? 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people quote Brian on things he said in 2023. However that was two months ago. Two months! My God, can’t we let the man rest? It’s not like he’s bullshitted recently like lying about Medubes work permit - oh he has - sorry, scratch that. We need to give the guy a break. He kicked a ball for us once and was well paid for it so we need to not question anything he does in his current role despite not showing aptitude. For me, he can be as shit as he likes because he had a good song and I liked him as a player. Cant see why people are getting heated up. And Sunderland - what are they like? Appointing a manager to get them to the playoffs this season then reacting quickly when it seemed he wouldnt meet the target and would need to do a rebuild despite a solid base so realising it might be better to take decisive action. Bloody idiots. And don’t get me started on Watford. Bloody Hornets with some fans claiming they’re going to make playoffs despite indifferent form and having other teams ahead of them, needing an unlikely set of results to succeed. What are they like as well, you’d never see that here? Top post. It’s this kind of thinking that this place has been lacking. My meds? Over there I think. 7 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is highly relevant to quote Tinnion and JL, especially after a return of 9 points in the last 9 league games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont dwell on lower league clubs if that is also what you mean but rather try to work out how traditionally (say last 20 years) smaller clubs than us manage to do so well. I also like to consider how clubs like Brighton, Bournemouth & Brentford turn what most of us expected to be short-lived tenures in the top flight into sustained ones. They have good owners too but seem able to recruit much better. I do not 'blame' Ashton, Alexander, Tins nor their coaches at the time but it is frustrating to witness. Many clubs do much worse & I'd rather be where we are than lots of clubs who have not been able to sustain a (relatively) comfortable place in our league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton got their shit together off pitch well before us, and have been excellently run ever since they went up. Part of this was the fault of the failure of the Ashton Vale project. Can't agree with your last point, relatively comfortable in the League is fine up to a point, but we made a change and built the infrastructure for better in a sense. If it is relatively comfortable we are happy with, give NP a new deal and some more backing and he may just exceed expectations but he certainly wouldn't fall below.

Bloom and his analytics, the stadium..both attendances and turnover went up by a factor of 2.5-3 from the Withdean in League One to the Amex in the Championship. That very much helps. I assume but I don't know for sure, that they invested heavily in the Training Ground and or Academy. Earlier than we did.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Yep as I thought, they got Cat 1 and had their new probably higher end than they had Training Ground open in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point,you have Tony Bloom and his team working hard non stop and getting the right people in,we have the Lansdowns feeding their ego with Bristol sport and getting Brian tinnion to oversee the football side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My good man, As a fan of another club you understandably missed the sarcasm in my post, directed at the frankly ridiculous original posting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
