Silvio Dante Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 31 minutes ago, RedRoss said: That's such a cop out point to a relevant response to how strange fans are that for 'comedy' they would rather potentially damage their club due to bitterness re the hierarchy. Regardless if there's a style of play other clubs call it identity set by a club, a change of manager will always cause affect. That affect could be negative or positive but it could relegate the club. Just seems weird but I'm sort of used to that on here especially the last 6 months. Dont blame me mate, it’s what the club have told us as to how things work…. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford revived his career and they invested heavily in him and then just a few months later he buggered off. I've never felt comfortable with that. Said this on FBC many times in recent weeks. A slap in the face for the "our club" philosophy being at the heart of a triumvirate [JL, BT, LM] leadership group. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d try to get over that asap if I were you. 99% of people who work in football have zero loyalty. Not sure why anyone would expect Manning to be any different. The stupidity is more that our Jon thinks that we can operate on a totally different platform to everyone else and expect loyalty in what is probably the most disloyal profession there is.

I certainly get the point NR but the hierarchy at the club have brought these feelings amongst parts of the fanbase upon themselves. We are being ‘led’ by a bloke who evidently doesn’t want anything to do with us anymore but who also apparently won’t value our club at a fair price to sell , his son who is totally and utterly and completely inept in every department regards football ownership and who comes out with absolute nonsense every time he opens his mouth (and his art box) and an ex player who is employed miles above his station and who again has embarrassed our club on numerous occasions by what comes out of his mouth / keyboard. If embarrassing these charlatans means we may be one step nearer to a change at the top then so be it. Also as mentioned not all of us are still convinced by LM so a change of manager wouldn’t be so bad anyway for those of us with that viewpoint. All moot anyway as it isn’t going to happen! 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However my comments were about Manning. I did explain why I had those thoughts. Yes there is little loyalty in football and everyone is essentially just passing through. However in my opinion it's likely Manning will pass through quicker than others and that's why I've not warmed to him. Not many managers have their career saved and then get given significant funds to spend and then bugger off months later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would save him spunking Lansdown’s nest egg up the wall in a vain attempt for Tinman and Lansdown to make it look like their appointment could be a success. He’s stubborn, and had to be told how to play to save his job. Take the mid-block and sod off to Norfolk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many managers have their career saved and then get given significant funds to spend and then bugger off months later. When most managers are a dozen or so poor games away from getting the sack can you really blame them for not showing a great deal of loyalty to a club? It has to be reciprocal - and it's really not in the vast majority of cases. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rs Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 5 hours ago, Barrs Court Red said: I don’t want him to go, so I’ll preface with that. But if this did happen (very low chance imo) that would be comedy gold. Right after Jon’s interview parading the lack of egos in our hierarchy and having shared objectives.
