It shouldn’t be this hard! Yeah, it's really not hard is it. The sacking of Nige could have been simply justified with; "We have decided to bring forward plans to take the first team strategy in a new direction, with a head coach who we think has the potential to build a successful era for the club." It's more modest, closer to the truth, doesn't promise immediate success, and whilst it doesn't placate fans that wanted Nige to stay, at least the bullshit levels are low. And that's the issue with the examples you gave; the club jumps to a sort of insecure bullshit response, when a more modest, surface level summary would be much better. Don't do welcome videos for Mebude and Murphy, hyping up the fans, then fail to manage expectations about those players. There are no dark secrets to be uncovered, just bad communication. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That post was in response to another that brought up the academy. And with respect, this is a public forum -all relevant discussion is allowed - there are no rules that say other things can’t be discussed in a thread - just ask the pun producers. If you don’t want to discuss one part of thread, just skim over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry! They did….yessir, I’m Mebude (yessir I can boogie) To be fair Dave, I think @mozo was saying “Don’t do welcome videos for Mebude” as opposed to “They didn’t do one”. It was all part of making a bit of a punt signing seem more than he was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read the book a few times over the years, and I still chuckle (or find myself frustrated ) when I read or hear something that reminds me of one of the chaotic (and unfeasible) situations in which he found himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 (edited) 8 hours ago, Bat Fastard said: You sound perfect for the job!! How many young players have you recruited, nursed through the academy into the first team and then on to the Premier League? Technically speaking - Tinnion hasn't had anything to do with player development, recruitment on the other hand sure. However - Kelly, Reid, and Bryan came through when Horseman was development lead (whom Reid credited with being the biggest influence for him in the academy). All had nothing to do with Tinnion and pre date his tenure as Head of Youth Recruitment as when they joined. The same applies to Conway (2009), Bell (2011), and even Palmer-Houlden (2012). Tinnion became said Head of Youth Recruitment in 2013 (worth noting his LinkedIn dates are about as accurate as the spelling on it), as per - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/23009461, the city site article on it has mysteriously vanished. So the only players that recruited during the intervening period of Tinns being 'Head of Youth Recruitment' that went onto develop were Alex Scott and Semenyo. But even then, for some reason on Scott's announcement per the website (https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/alex-scott-joins-city/) Probert seems to take lead, with his comments being the focus, and Tinns referenced as only 'Loan Manager', so there are some blurred lines as to what his actual role was in that signing, with the same being the case in his announcement as 'Player Pathway Manager' (https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/tinnion-appointed-player-pathway-manager/) - only, again, a mention as loan manager. So there's no clarity. It's only after his sale to Bournemouth we got more details as per - https://www.bristolworld.com/sport/football/bristol-city/the-inside-bristol-city-story-as-to-how-club-unearthed-ps25m-gem-alex-scott-4137520 - with Vance being first sounded as a contact by SL back in 2010.
