I would suggest couple of those should go down to Pearson not BT. How say does BT have over the manager? How much day does SL and/or crayon boy have. And yes we will see next season A good base from this year ? What does the summer recruitment bring and how much ambition shown in that area. Yes things seem to be settling and firm /results are improving . I would love to be priced wrong but really not convinced by the BT/ crayon boy dynamic over/controlling/dictating to LM COYR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he’s been promised some spends. I’m excited to see what happens in the summer. If Manning really wants Twine then I can see a scenario where offers are accepted for two even three of ours. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be just bollocky titles, but generally the DoF would manage / control the budgets, the whole football operation, etc. What we’ve got is Tom Rawcliffe doing some of that (Football Operations and Football budgets) with some support from Gavin Marshall, whereas Tins is looking after the Recruitment Team, amongst other things. If that makes sense. Keith Burt was the last DoF, even then I think he didn’t have all the Operations stuff under him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcnick Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Pearson confirmed in the recent podcast that he has no involvement in recruitment aside from signing off on players that are scouted and proposed to him. He was asked this in the context of Leicester signings and Jamie Vardy in particular. Based on the end of the season and some decent performances against good teams I think it's time to get behind Manning, the likes of BT and the Club generally. The default sniping by a few hard-core moaners is a bit OTT and tedious. It could be a very good 24/25 season and I'm looking forward to seeing who is recruited in the forward positions we're looking at. We've a decent recruitment record so far given the budget and Tinnion will have played a significant tole in that. Aside from the ones to come in, I think Stokes, Murphy and Bird look interesting signings and clearly can play a bit. Twine strayed from the script of keeping his performances a little subdued and played a bit too well today as I was hoping we could pick him up for about £2m. He'd be keen to come and confirmed he enjoyed his loan and that he loved his stay in Bristol in the post-match interview. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 What a guy- we're so lucky to have him. His input has shown remarkable results from Academy levels whilst his role as technical Director is beginning to reap rewards on the pitch , firstly with Southampton then at Leicester. I'm really excited about next season, we've already got a Bird in the hand as well as a few in the bush and that's before our Summer recruitment. WE are building the momentum for a serious push towards a top 6 finish in 2025 as he suggested. It's a great time to be a BCFC supporter.

That was at Leicester and Hull…where of course his good mate Steve Walsh was his Head of Recruitment and Coach. At Bristol City he set the processes and profiling up, but as Gilhespy said, he then let them get on with finding the players, he empowers people. He did go and watch players though, but he also wasn’t gonna trawl video, like Manning will. Pros and cons to each approach. +++++ 1) Always behind the team / club…but 2) don’t like the way one or two operate. I don’t think 1 or 2 will ever be any different.

Don't you have better things to do in your life than try and wind strangers up on otib? At least try and be slightly subtle or amusing or something. Have you ever contemplated that just because someone doesn't share the OTIB witch hunt on Tinnion, Lansdown and, to some extent, Manning that they may hold an alternative opinion? I genuinely believe what I think about Tinnion and the Lansdowns. This is anathema to you and the Pearson luvvies. If one has a positive take on the aforementioned - it either makes you a Bristol Sport employee or a wind up merchant. Mt Billy Big Bollax even thinks that new posters with a positive spin should be vetted. Good luck with that Nick. If you don't like my view- you know what to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A part exchange hadn’t even crossed my mind. However who knows. It’s more than possible no matter which division Burnley end up in. The players we know are being looked at are Conway and Pring. Add to this a few players that no one would be surprised if there are enquires for such as Knight, Bell, Vyner even Dickie (who has had a brilliant season) then a deal for Twine is possible. My thoughts are there are going to be incomings (some we already know) and outgoings to allow players to come through and create the money for the forward (probably two forwards if Conway goes) that Tinnion spoke about today. If i remember rightly he spoke about a “ten” which most would assume Twine is top of the list! My crystal ball tells me someone from Oxford is on the Radar too! The play offs will indeed have a baring there. Edited April 27 by REDOXO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a loose Cannon imo. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
