Meh Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Going nowhere. I feel the S/T 24/25 poster was yet another Lansdown two fingers to the fans. Including the (under pressure; at least from fans viewpoint) manager as the main picture was strange but then to include (ever-increasing unpopular) Tinnion was completely wacko and very much on purpose I suspect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 1 hour ago, Fontaineofallknowledge said: Really is an echo chamber on here and doesn't reflect the view of an average fan. How has it come to losing a few games meaning you need to be sacked!? Would you have all sacked fergie in his early United days? It’s not an echo chamber on OTIB in my view, yes a lot of people feel as per this thread, maybe the majority now, but there are plenty who still support Manning, Tinnion and Lansdown. As for the average fan what does that mean? The Cardiff game saw fighting in the stands amongst ourselves, booing and chanting; we also had booing and chanting at West Brom. Your world view may well be different and I appreciate that; for me, OTIB is the most balanced and relatively calm about the situation. Away from OTIB what I see, read and hear is far more toxic. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost count of the threads slagging Manning off - and many of the comments have been personal I actually think the vast majority of the criticism Manning's received has been focused purely on his competency as a football manager. Granted, there's been a bit more content than necessary about him coming across as "boring", which IMHO isn't a particularly important critereon on which to assess him. It's nowhere near as bad as some of the personal insults thrown at LJ and Pearson though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen them double down before and blindly just think that throwing money at it will help the situation, rarely does in football. The only other way i feel the trigger could be pulled is if we get an absolute thumping by somebody especially if it's at home. Without ever wanting to see City get beat if Leicester pumping us on Friday is the catalyst to make SL act then i wouldn't be against it - as horrendous as that is to admitt.. and if leicester start a rout with nige on sky, i will cheer them on for more. the humiliation those 3 would suffer would be priceless 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is, imo, no chance of him improving at this level, let alone the level we aspire to I'd suggest there are only three reasons - the dire no entertainment football, the dire no entertainment football, and the dire no entertainment football. Plus no discernible grounds for optimism, no evidence of a corner being turned, etc Most of the others are subjective and arguable. For example we haven't really been "hurtling" down the league, and there have been occasions when his subs have scored and/or created goals. And if you want inspiring interviews then let's appoint George Galloway, he'd do less harm here than in the House of Commons!

harvey54 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 1 hour ago, Nogbad the Bad said: Actually it would be to their credit to say, 'We accept and regret that it simply hasn't worked.' Other Championship clubs have taken decisive action in an attempt to limit damage and get fans back on side. They would have been embarrassed too but they knew it needed to be done and didn't shirk a difficult decision. When something's not working the sooner the situation is rectified the better - in this case for LM too imo. They may well be embarrassed, as they should be, but that embarrassment and discomfort will only increase the longer they leave it. Take the bull by the horns and put everyone out of their misery, no club should settle for the sort of stability LM brings which is rapidly emptying the stands. Correct. It worked OK at Luton last season didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 3 hours ago, W-S-M Seagull said: 11 days til our next game. Absolutely no point in keeping him here and seeing if we can fluke a result against Leicester. It would just be very Bristol City to sack him after losing to Leicester. Just do it now. There would be less disruption doing it now. Season is over for us now so time to look ahead to next season. Get a new guy in and then he's got til the end of the season to analyse the squad and build some momentum going into next season. And what happens if a new man comes in and we lose every remaining game? No doubt you'll be calling for him to go as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
