A player revolt led by the likes of James, Wells, Kimg etc could see end of Manning. if we fail to win in next 3 games, change will happen 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmNick Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 (edited) Why? Isn't a criticism levied again Manning his lack of experience at this level, so we want to replace him with a guy who to my knowledge has never managed a single game at any level? I get he's a fan and all but, why? What are we basing that decision off? It'd make less sense than Holden and that's saying something. If we're getting rid of Manning (and we're not any time soon imo) we need to replace him with better, not an even bigger punt.

Numero Uno Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 (edited) Andy King as Caretaker who then picks himself every week, first name on the team sheet. When the hierarchy come calling at least he can say "you gave me the job you daft bastards"................. The reality as that Manning will bumble along until the end of the season, excuses will be made if our final league position is as underwhelming as I expect it to be, claims of misquoting and misrepresentation of their interviews post Pearson will also be made and the can will be kicked down the road with Manning given a "War Chest" and a "Pre-Season to really embed his methods" in the Summer. If it's not working by October/November time we will be knee deep, possibly waist deep, in the old shite. I've said it before Manning NEEDS TO work otherwise we are bang in trouble. This is Jon, Sid and Gavin's finest work.......literally nobody else to turn to if it all goes South.

REDOXO Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Making King a temporary manager would get a lot of people back onside so to speak. Pearson predicted that Andy King would one day manage Bristol City and my feeling is two possibly three defeats in a row would force Junior and JudgeMeOn Brian to act. However I can see a scenario where Tinion makes himself manager. Just to say Brian if you don’t want chaos resist the temptation and promote King until the end of the season! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If kings got half the man management skills that Pearson's got then yes King will do well. I think you should ask the players what they think of king and I'm pretty sure they will back him 100% going by what players have said about him in training and around the club etc. if Pearson thinks he has the qualities then that's good enough reference for me. I'm pretty sure he would of already planned for the summer and next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 As it was apparently Tinnion who queried why Pearson was picking him instead of giving another Academy player a chance I’d say this is not going to happen even if we do bite the bullet with Manning at any point.

I would say as a caretaker he would be a very good choice. He has all his licenses is constantly talked about as a mentor and was employed as a player/coach, has played at every level has a Premier League winners medal and as a bonus was a City supporter before playing. A very sensible temporary manager. Thus not a chance City would do it! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheltons Army Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Gut feeling is we could actually latch onto something good - he appears potentially to have a lot of the necessary skill set to do well as a HC / manager But it won’t happen in a hundred years as Manning won’t be sacked and if he was we’d actually be more likely to reappoint LJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning has all his licenses. Manning has mentored many, many players. Manning is literally employed as the head coach. Manning does not have a premier league winners medal. Manning is not a City supporter (so far as I know). So the only thing that could possibly be relevant that King has and Manning doesn't is the PL winners medal. Lampard has one of those, so does Rooney, so do any other number of shite managers. It means nothing. If we're talking about the next twelve games then I'd say the guy who's actually done the job and who managed us to wins over West Ham, Southampton, Hull, Sunderland and Watford is more likely to get us points than Andy King.

The topic is a hypothetical would Andy King be a good temporary choice if Mr Manning was relieved. Thus your entire post is pointless much like our last two games.
