ProfitInMyPocket Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Back him so I won't struggle with insomnia anymore, the games and his interviews make me drowsier quicker than counting sheep. They'll back him in the summer because they gotta back their boy. I hope it all clicks but it's Bristol City - the inevitable fumbling the ball and bringing someone proven in to fix the mess the hierarchy make.

City1970 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 3 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: I'm going to say not sack for now..but I dunno if I can fully buy-in on back either. As I think the issues lie higher. In particular the structure of Tinnion, Jon Lansdown and Marshall and anyone else I may have forgotten about, Steve seems to have taken a backseat? Even with a front seat, Steve is taking us nowhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they never had a scooby of an understanding what NP was actually doing and achieving way before there was any hint of his backstabbing , or the name Liam Manning was on this forum , shows that they embarrassingly never looked , thought or understood The fan that looks at League Tables or ppg with absolutely zero concept Im not sure if it’s more hilarious or more embarrassing 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Does anyone really want to watch any more of this for another season? We should just do a Sunderland and hold our hands up and say we ****** up, there's a crumb of dignity in that. If we double down on this to try and save face by giving manning a load of coin ... well that movie won't end well. Manning didn't deserve this job. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Fred Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 We will stay up by the skin of our collective teeth this season. If we want to even survive next season (let alone top six!) Then the only option will be to get him out the door. Up to today I had feelings of sympathy with the bloke but those feelings are rapidly eroding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street red Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 He shouldn't be here in the first place I'm not interested I've watched one interview since he's been here wrong man for the job it's just a odd feeling I'm not interested in him as our manager. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you regress or go backwards in a dynamic fashion? If so the name fits..unfortunately. Not so much as an endorsement of SL, more that they're worse.

exAtyeoMax Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I’d say sack him but more to cut our losses and as damage control. I don’t see the point in investing more time and players in him. I don’t point the blame towards him directly but obviously towards JL and BT. Keeping him could make it more painful for him when the situation isn’t totally his fault. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Southampton, the timing...When to sit, when to press, triggers perhaps that was perfect and an excellent platform. Seems more variable thereafter though, Watford away was great, Cup games were great but Southampton seemed a bit of a gold standard in that respect IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Have to back him for now. There is no way JL and BT will want to lose face and admit they were wrong. We’re out of contention for the playoffs so we need to start seeing some positive performances, if not results. If we don’t get that then the board need to have a serious think about next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 9 hours ago, Charlie BCFC said: criticising Manning for the results Pearson probably would’ve got in the last two. That’s fickle Sorry mate but what sort of sorcery is this? How can you say that Pearson would have got the same results in the last two? My general recollection from this season and last season is that we tended to do ok against teams like Wednesday and QPR and it was infact the teams above us we struggled against. I'm not gonna sit here and say we'd have got 6 points from the last two but that's because I don't have a crystal ball and neither do you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueless. The one thing that seems to be appearing is the streaks. It was the same with LJ. Lose a few, win a few and that kept him in a job until a point came where we just couldn't stop losing and it was one streak too many.
