Natchfever Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 1 hour ago, Gaseater said: Mehmeti, Williams, Tanner, Roberts, Knight have improved under Manning, that’s not to say that Pearson didn’t get a tune out of them, he did…..but they have improved in my view. Interesting comments thanks. I think Roberts hss hardly had much time to show either way and I actually reckon Knight has gone backwards. Williams injury free now and producing his best form. Arguable maybe hed be doing the same for Pesrson but facts are facts and spart from Saturday has been doing it for Manning. Tanner I consider steady and a 6,/10 since coming. Not really seen a consistent upturn but appreciate others see it differently. I think Pring Bell Conway and Wells seem to have gone backwards Vyner and Dickie excellent throughout and OLeary likewise consistent.. Imo therefore in and out with matching results and performances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natchfever Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 52 minutes ago, W-S-M Seagull said: I so want to be wrong. I go to every game with my kids. They've never seen us have any sort of success. It's been a hard sell at times but we relentlessly go. I want to be able to experience running on the pitch celebrating promotion with my kids. That's the dream of mine. I want to be able to take my kids to watch us challange ourselves against the best teams in the world home and away. I want them priceless memories. You won't here me saying "I told you so" it would be more like "We've lost another good opportunity and wasted more time" because that's how I see it. If anyone actually wants Bristol City to do badly so they can be right on a forum then they need their heads seeing to. For me it's all about us being successful. I don't spend over a grand a year to be able to say on a forum "I was right" I'd be surprised if anyone did. Nice post. Plenty disagree with you it seems but none should doubt your hope for Manning to succeed as that means you get your ultimate wish. Manning is here (on current form) until end 24/25 minimum. That being said, fans are entitled to question him just like everyone who has gone before him and the antics of Lansdown and Tinnion, plus the orchestrated BS forum offensive will simply make people more determined to get their point across. Fair play to you. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swan and Cemetery Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 For me it’s not really a Pearson vs Manning debate, it’s the structure of the club, which was always ropey and has got worse: From: Owner - SL (well intentioned/generous over many years, but limited on the football side inc appointing football people?) Chair - JL (not convinced) Board - too small, limited challenge and oversight? CEO - Gould (best for a long time?)/Alexander (Less visible but well regarded?) DoF - BT (has strengths, but no track record in such a critical role?) Manager - NP (imperfect, but has operated at headier heights than ours and appeared to have motivational skills needed) Coaches - CF/JY (promising but no significant track record?) To: Owner: unchanged Chair: unchanged Board: unchanged (?) CEO: role disappeared (broadly, maybe federated to a few people) DoF: unchanged Manager: role disappeared Coaches: LM/CH (no particularly strong track record, but signs of having great potential) Probably over simplified, but point is we’ve effectively lost two key layers of the structure, which had been filled with experienced people, but still have the remaining under qualified layers that lack strategy/oversight skills. Ie, in summary, the problem isn’t LM and nor was it NP. LM with a strong structure above would, in my view, be flying, as would NP (structure above and below). Apologies, long post to say what lots of us have said over a long time. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broodje Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 5 hours ago, Gaseater said: How many championship managerial changes this season has had the desired transformational effect that the op is demanding? Brum - Rooney sacked, Mowbray limited Blackburn - Eustace tbc BCFC - Manning limited Huddersfield - Moore sacked Millwall - Edwards sacked Plymouth - Foster limited QPR - Cifuentes limited Rotherham - Richardson limited Sheff Wed - Rohl limited Sunderland - Beale Sacked Swansea - Williams limited There hasn’t been a single championship managerial change that has had a significant impact on league position or upturn in fortunes, so you are asking Manning to achieve something that no one else in the league has been able to do. I remember reading an article posted in a newspaper somewhere at one point towards the start of the season. It essentially said that, statistically, changing manager achieves little to nothing and the only important factor that by and large affects the final position in the table is the value of the squad.
