Sturgess Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 (edited) 15 minutes ago, Ecko said: Incredibly amateur to put a specific number on next seasons point total. Hasn't BT learned from JL's mistakes of saying this squad has a top 6 squad. All this does will be further pressure on Manning next season. Also, BT is thick in saying this right before next season's season ticket prices will be released. Does he really think we will flock to purchase a season ticket, where he has publicly stated that the ambition is to be 10 points better off?! Laughable, amateurish, joker. Between LM on the weekend and now BT, all we hear are sound bites along the lines of them vs us. The issue being, as they see it, it’s their way or nothing.

BCFCGav Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 The Lansdown’s tried to lie to us in October. We pressed them for reasons on Pearson’s dismissal and got what we wanted - a lie so glaring that we could throw it back at them. ‘Pearson was fired for underachieving with a top 6 squad’. We got them. Tonight was as good as a concession - he wasn’t fired for footballing reasons. For me - SL and JL are the root of the problem. But they don’t just run the show - they own it. There is very little we can do. On Tinnion - he’s a club legend and his work with the academy has been outstanding. The technical director role… a rocky start. But I DO believe he loves the club, wants what’s best for it, and can (hopefully) turn it around. On Manning - he was offered a job to lead our great club. A massive promotion from Oxford United, let’s be honest. So he took it. He seems to me to be a football obsessive who will sink all his time and energy into trying to deliver what we all want. The lie the Lansdown’s told meant he was on a hiding to nothing. His start has had problems, but he’s clearly not going anywhere nor is he culpable for the nonsense of last October. I hope we can all come together a bit, the fans, the squad, Manning and his team and go into next season with a bit of renewed vigour. The owners effed up no end in October. But the squad and LM are here fighting for us now. 3 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Tinnion is not a club legend. No way near on the level as the likes of Scott Murray. 11 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How ******* unprofessional is that. You shouldn’t be treating ANY game like that, never mind a run of them. Pathetic. No wonder we’re not where we want to be. Really?

Galley is our king Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 8 minutes ago, Robbored said: He went out of his way to say (several times) that he’s been at the club 30 years and that he wants the same as everyone does - namely the club to be successful. Essentially he’s saying that he’s a fan and I have no beef with that sentiment. His competence to earn such a senior role means that he’s impressed the hierarchy who obviously respect his knowledge and skills. As with most things - the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

W-S-M Seagull Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 During yesterday's game I spent most of the game contemplating if I will renew next season. After listening to that I've made my mind up that I wont be renewing. Complete car crash. I feel so disconnected from the club I love. 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat Fastard Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 It seems t me that whatever Brian said in the interview, people have mentally condemned him. I thought he was open and passionate and gave us some interesting insights. He is not a politician but is clearly passionate about our club and maybe, after some mature reflection, people will see that he has helped to bring good players into our club and has generated enormous value with his efforts. I hope he stays because we will find it hard to find a more devoted and enthusiastic football person to be our TD. Thank you Brian, I appreciate your efforts and achievements. 3 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 5 minutes ago, Shuffle said: Take your point but we knew that Atkinson, Benarous, McCrorie were all out long term and that’s before any other new injuries which happen at every club (more so at our club). I guess technically, with pro players in the 21s numbers wise we had 2 players for every position but I guarantee no other club in the league had 5 lads on the bench in August who had never started a game at our level. I remember our phone conversation on the way back from Cardiff. And those 3 long-termers were gonna be added to by the sale of Scott. The senior squad that really took to the season. MO / SB GT CP / HR ZV / RD / KN MJ / JW / TGH / AK JK / AW HC / MS SB / AM TC / NW 20 players, a match day squad, thankful for some versatility. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron 1894 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 1 hour ago, The Coach said: “Coventry have invested 23million. That’s the difference. We can’t be compared to Coventry.” Ludicrous statement. Coventry generated 39m on player sales and reinvested 37m of it. In previous seasons they had spent less than us and generated less than us. Their ‘success’ is down to a good recruitment structure. Our failures all lie with our poor recruitment which is solely down to Brian Tinnion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exiled Robin Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 25 minutes ago, P'head Red said: Unbelievable. What a tag line to go with to attract new players to the club "we want to be ten points better off in 12 months". Well I'll tell you what Tinnion, we should be ten points better off right now, and I'd put good money on Pearson being able to do that if he wasn't given the unjust boot he was! Clowns!! 10 points puts us right in the play off mix. Would you have preferred he said 15 or 20 or Top 2 so we can all chuck mid at him when we don’t achieve it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red from afar Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I stick to my guns when I said early in the season, if they bought 2 or 3 decent solid players at this level in the summer in the right positions we'd be close to the playoffs, if not just inside. Nothing I've seen from the other teams below the top 4 (and maybe West Brom), has made me change my mind They didn't have to be spectacular, just good pros who fitted our style of play. It was pure pettiness that stopped that happening and now they've set us back a couple of seasons again. 9 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The turtle Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 45 minutes ago, petehinton said: Also what a nice big round number to land on. Not totally plucked out of thin air in the moment at all. Seems like all the interview has done has create a clear ‘us and them’ mentality between board and fans. I think it's a bit more intelligent than you are giving credit. At 10 points more= 1 point off playoffs. Any higher he'd be saying playoffs this time next year, and be held to that. Now absolute wiggle room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 26 minutes ago, Shuffle said: Still spouting bullshit that we had two players for every position in the summer For the Millwall game in August (which is the summer)we had 5 subs who had never started a game at Championship & 35 year old Andy King. Squad depth has been our biggest issue but still the club still state we had two players for every position. If he really believes this (we both certainly don’t) then something is wrong with the medical department or our conditioning then, because as I pointed out in a post yesterday us & Rotherham (who have the smallest budget) are massive outliers this season in both consistently failing to fill the subs bench. As you say the 7 or 8 we have on it has usually included King (basically a coach) plus the likes of Knight-Lebel, Yeboah, Nelson, Meerholz, Joseph James, Aroye & Backwell, & a sub goalkeeper in either Bajic or Wiles-Richards with zero English league experience. Pitiful state of affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38MC Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 1 minute ago, Superjack said: I’m not sure that necessarily means Manning is gone as well. It would make sense for them both to go, but the pair of them is toxic. One obvious way to give Manning some breathing room and to appease the fans is to get rid of this wholly unqualified, out of his depth, blagger who showed again his narcissistic tendencies and his inability to be trusted with private and sensitive data relating to transfers. I think it would do Manning the world of good to have a chance without Tinnion above him. I don’t personally hold the belief it would come good even that way, but it’s so toxic, they drag each other down or you back one horse. Right now, even though Manning doesn’t show enough, Tinnion should go based on tonight alone. The 30 year comment was utterly atrocious 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
