Capman Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 5 hours ago, Damon lewis said: So when you have sacked manning and the board, what is the next move? I must admit I do consider it hugely rude to refuse to answer questions, but insist on asking more. I asked a perfectly simple question which you have blanked, presumably because to answer it undermines your entire argument. But instead have demanded I give answers to you. It is typical of the contempt those in power at the club show for its supporters. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ring Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Is there a definition of “fickle” that I’m unaware of? The fact that lots of people preferred NP means that they are the opposite of fickle. One result doesn’t make a good manager. Yes, we beat 2 very good teams. We then lost to lots of mediocre teams. Does that make him a good manager? A good manager can beat good and bad teams, not just the good ones. As the question was asked, I’m in the Nige camp. However, I know that he isn’t coming back and I wanted LM to do well. He’s in charge of my club after all. He hasn’t done anything to convince me, bar the occasional good result. I suspect that a lot of fans think the same. If we go on a run, I’ll be pleased. It won’t stop me thinking that NP shouldn’t have been sacked though. 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably don’t have the right to comment recently because I don’t go to games much but I have been to many games over the years, and most of them were in the days when city were in the third and forth division. I do pay to watch online. For all the memorable games I have been to there are many more forgettable games. Woah there, everybody has the right to comment no matter how many games you go to. It’s shouldn’t be for anyone to say who can comment and who can’t. That’s regardless of whether I agree with your posts or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I'm not sure who the "ficklest" fans are, but undoubtedly the "fickest" are those clown suited dolts from the spud patch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Ficklest fanbase in football? Not. Even. Close. Another away sell out today, a team not too far from us took 400 to the same ground this time last year because “there’s nothing to play for”… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I would say most fans are fickle but reading the comments on here after back to back wins, I would say this is pretty special! Three games ago it wasn’t even just a case of Manning (or Tinnion) out, it was the disconnect from the club completely. Now, back to back wins against a decent Leicester side who had 1 win in 5 league games, and relegation threatened Plymouth, we are suddenly building something special! I stand by the fact that my passion for this club has it an all time low. No amount of wins under this leadership team, top to bottom, will change that. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way football is now, for clubs to compete in the top two divisions they have to become more businesslike and corporate, and that automatically reduces how much a part of the club the fans feel. I honestly believe that applies for just about every club at our level, and maybe even a few below but with ambitions. Personally, the time I felt closest to the club was the late nineties, the early days of City fans connecting online and City with Scott Davidson in charge. Once Steve Lansdown took over and we started on the path to Bristol Sport I felt the disconnect, and complained about it quite vociferously at the time. I like to think that I have now come out the other side from that, and can actually see the sense in what SL is trying to achieve with Bristol Sport and I actually quite like it. What helped to reignite my support for the club was bringing my young son and watching him grow into a passionate City fan. In recent times the club has certainly made mistakes. Jon Lansdown has been allowed influence above his abilities without doubt, and Tins as DoF doesn't sit well with me just because I know from personal experience that he isn't the brightest! Lovely bloke though. Pearson was maybe sacked too early, though you never know behind the scenes precisely what is going on so maybe the timing was perfect, but I do think our progression under him was showing signs of plateauing so maybe it was for the best. I also think people have been far too quick to turn on Manning, mainly because they are pissed off about Pearson, but I think some of the matches under him at home have been better than anything else we have been served up since the best days of Lee Johnson (the Man Utd match season in particular). Football fans are certainly fickle, and your passion for football/City may have expired, but keep at it and it will return, maybe just in a different way. I don't think we will ever feel a 'part' of the club the way it used to be possible to unless something goes very very wrong and I personally don't want that to happen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 We are nowhere near the most fickle fans. If we were we'd be marching out if Ashton Gate with our feet and that's not happening. Our away support is also holding up well. There are clubs in the EFL and Prem whose crowds hugely inflate during the good times and quickly dissolve when the going gets tough. For a near example look at the SAGS league crowds compared to what crawls out of the woodwork on a, trip to Wembley.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_bristol Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 (edited) Hope we’re not being too hard on the OP! I understand why the question was asked and the answer is Cardiff! I had a lot of time for Nige and was against his sacking initially but not any more. R kid has done enough to earn himself a preseason with this squad. Yes the inconsistency is still there but in hindsight I could not see that going away with Nige, it was a problem he had for all of his time here. There are also positives to build on. Mehmeti’s development under Liam, and his record against the better teams to name two. Roberts is having a fairly good run as well. I know what you’re thinking, it’s this kind of hope that kills us/ makes us City fans. But at the very darkest delusional depths of my brain there is something telling me that Liams appointment could yet be proven to be a master stroke.
