DJI Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Sense of honesty. As people have rightfully said, LM saw this job as a bigger and better step for his career. I am sure he came to us with every good intention. What I think he didn't factor in at any stage was BT involvement. I think he is pulling all the strings at the moment, he can baffle JL with his football knowledge, he can hoodwink academy players with his involvement generally and he can dictate to LM on a daily basis as he can probably opt when to pull the plug. I don't think it's rocket science either that certain players have had enough, they perform in the big games in the hope of a move and could really care about the lower matches as they don't see their futures at lower clubs. Tonight will be a good example I feel. I was of the opinion that NP time was probably up and I felt a young manager with good coaches supporting him might be the answer, what i didn't expect was BT becoming the background manager in what really now is his 2nd spell in charge. answer. Get rid of BT now, give LM the chance to show us if he is capable without others interference. See if he can manage and coach the players in a way that they support him , their team mates and the fans. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LM potentially isn't the right man for the job. BT isn't the right man for the job, as he hired Manning. He shouldn't be allowed to hire Mannings replacement. Both are the problem. 44 3 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 (edited) Tinnion has probably had a promotion too far. It wasn't that long ago that he was viewed as a genius skillfully placing academy kids out on loan, monitoring their progress and feeding back information when they might advance to the 1st team squad. Funny how things change. Edited March 5 by RoystonFoote'snephew Added content 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I really don’t get why Tinnion gets all this bad press. What’s he said or done to deserve all the grief he’s getting? Can anyone explain why he’s the number one fall guy? 4 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was JL that wanted him gone after his comments just over a year ago that he was expecting City to have progressed further.
