westonred Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I hope the board realise that it is not working under BT in the summer and get rid. He was a great player but awful manager and if he is responsible for recruitment that deserves a sacking on its own.. Leave him to oversee the youth set up if you like but dont let him have any input into 1st team affairs he seems to have too much influence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay as a club legend player side and leave it at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Back in the day, City had a terrible habit of appointing from within, without the person appointed having any real merit. "Jobs for the boys" - and it was obvious that some right rubbish got jobs, in all sorts of roles. Would Tinman (sadly) fall into that category? He did an amazing job with the academy. Maybe he needs a strong person to stand up to him, say...Gould. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I agree that he should have stayed in his academy job role though, it was the perfect role for him at the club...

Leave him to oversee the youth set up if you like but dont let him have any input into 1st team affairs he seems to have too much influence BT’s influence on how/if we are able to release the purse strings in the summer worries me in that it will all be directed towards acquiring young players to develop. Max Bird might be able to step up but whilst the philosophy of acquiring from the likes of Aldershot and League of Ireland is good and needs to continue, surely it must not be applied fully. We need to bring in some Championship experience and I have no faith that BT will go down that route with part of the allegedly available nest egg. In his Radio B interview one of the statements was about the importance of getting a “big number 9” that is/may be right but (a) where is that player going to be recruited from and at what age and (b) little point if others to provide the service are not going to be brought in. Out of our reach wage wise for sure but someone like Chris Wood would perhaps do this club good but this level of experienced player would frighten the life out of BT and possibly LM also. BT confuses IMO the success of finding and developing young players (and selling some on) with the success of the club on the pitch in the present. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that being fair? The season before we lost in the play off final. The next season we had Leroy Lita scoring 24 goals that season. It was a massive failure. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the word “scapegoated’ - certainly by many posters on here He's the only one of the three ultimately sackeable. That's the difference.

RollsRoyce Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Judge me on Tinnion - Lansdown 2005 He hates being wrong doesn't he, wounded the first time, he has allowed him back into prime time to prove a point. Steve, we judged you the first time, 2 decades have not changed anything. Third time lucky is not allowed either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham76 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Looking back at Tinnion's "see you in the premiership" tweet, it makes you wonder whether he genuinely believes we are a top 6 squad. Insane to think both Pearson and Manning could end up being sacked because of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can never get my head around him being a club legend, played most of his career with us in the 3rd division, club legend to means, Terry cooper, gow, Atyeo, for me he’s already tarnished himself by all the bullshit he’s been spouting, 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane to think both Pearson and Manning could end up being sacked because of it. That was the most unprofessional, ridiculous thing to post. It came across as petulant. Then he returned after a couple of wins and like posts being constructive around how Nige was apparently backed, only to promptly disappear again when going got tough. If we had won last night he would have been all over the socials, that’s not leadership. Leave it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
