I’ve always been in the “be careful what you wish for camp” and I am still happy to support a stable club. But if the lansdowns what to progress, they need to learn lessons, which they don’t. You can’t keep hiring people you like or who have a similar personality to you.

No.

He is a bit of a cheque book manager, he is one of those..has certain expectations.

[sw_bcfc]

The lack of a plan B or the ability to adjust in any way is now such a fundamental issue and is a damning indictment on the manager.

 

With a mid table squad and mid table budget, we aren’t going to be good enough to beat a majority of teams in this division playing the same way all the time. That’s for Leeds and Burnley. We have to be able to adjust, before games and during games.

 

We are inconsistent in terms of performances, and results, because we do not meaningfully adjust tactics or approach, bar switching between a back three and four. Unless we have a run of games against all the teams who we match up well against, we won’t put a string of results together.

 

The inconsistent line seems to be used (mainly by pundits) to imply progress and that there might be hope of something better to come - if only we could put the good performances together. The reality is those performances don’t work away at Portsmouth, or today. On a day like today it’s the definition of insanity - doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.

Canning Manning won’t make a blind bit of difference - so long as the cretinous Lansdowns are calling the shots this club will continue to be mediocre at best.

I for one do not want to see that chromium-plated Fanny Junior allowed to make another terrible managerial appointment - he’s had countless chances and he’s blown it every single time. 
 

I can juat see it now; his annoying face as he conducts another interview saying “all the elements are in place” and “we need to identify the man to take us forward”, while completely absolving himself or his old man of any of the blame as to why we are in the rut we are in.

Manning and even “Tins” are merely symptoms of the creeping malaise at BCFC. We need to pluck up the problem by the roots, which means ousting the owners.

Cue a load of apologists coming back with “who’s going to pump in the investment?”

The money is there if the sale price is right.

The fans are being held to ransom

I would agree. Historically Bristol football lacks any passion or edge. Too many prawn sandwich/happy clap fans go down AG nowadays for a day out/few beers on a Saturday. And quite frankly the football is secondary. That was utter shite again today.

7 years at Coventry and a penalty kick away from the Prem.....just saying?

Do we have a Gyokeres, (one of the best players the championship has seen), or Hamer surrounded by a number of talented players. Not downplaying his achievements he did incredible there, but I find it hard to believe we’ll recruit in the manner required to sign players like that, which Mark Robins did such great work with. He’ll have a weaker squad here, than he had there, why would he suddenly overperform here under stricter conditions? 

For any success under our current hierarchy, we have to take bigger risks than that to reach the premier league, recruit managers in their first or 2nd jobs ever. Like a Rohl, McKenna, Carrick or Cleverly. But that’s just my personal opinion. 

Also, because managers like Robins or Corberan wouldn’t even come here anyway.

And why do we never end up with the right coach/manager? Who picks them? Who then fires the ones who tell them what the club needs to do to be successful? It ALL starts with them.

There’s a reason we’ve had 0 seasons in the top flight under their rule.

I’ve had enough now of our sterile boring, and gutless football.

Manning won’t be sacked any time soon, we all know that, but under him we are going absolutely nowhere. 
I’d replace him in a heartbeat. 

As has been widely stated, he doesn’t possess a plan B, and he’s signed duds at the top end of the pitch. 
 

Until we rip up our structure and employ the best in class we are never going to improve as a club.

Absolutely agree, they are the root cause and we will not progress with the current structure.

If Robins can pick up the sort of striker that Gyokeres is for 1 million and Hamer for 800k, then i believe he might have a good eye for a player?

Exactly, need some fresh ideas/fresh thinking and be open to ideas different to their own

[samo II]

I agree the roots of the problem are deeper than the head coach.

But I don’t think that’s reason enough to persist with him.

We stumbled into Pearson who while imperfect in the extreme, somehow managed to create a far better ‘football team’ (may not have been technically pretty or perfect but made us pretty competitive); my hope would be we stumble again into someone able to make us at least more watchable if nothing else.

Manning sadly doesn’t seem to have it; I still argue that the first half of QPR was as close to manningball as the he could hope (near 75% possession) and yet we didn’t have a sold chance to speak of - if we can’t beat teams to death on days like that, we never will without signings we probably can’t afford or make.

It’s not just him though it’s the whole recruitment department plus over arching aims/standards set by the board. Putting signings down to just a manager good or bad isn’t fair. 

Same way I won’t blame Robins for spending £30 odd million and them getting worse.

Horses for courses mate. Respect your opinion entirely.

For me, sacking Manning feels like changing the tire when the car is on fire. It might improve things a bit… but doesn’t do anything for the actual issue!

[Redrascal2]

And let's not forget at the same time Manning is turning the team in to a spineless bunch of bottlers he has blocked the pathway from the Academy as well. So no hope of a Scott or Semenyo coming through to lift the gloom. No light at the end of the tunnel, no bloody tunnel.

Exactly right, the fault lies with the Lansdownes. Thank god I didn’t buy a season ticket this year. The seasons over.

Rewind to the home game with Swansea last season. A defeat, or possibly, a draw, would have spelled the end for LM. Unfortunately a header from Rob Dickie secured all 3 points meaning that Manning survived another day. I say unfortunately because for the good of the club we needed to lose that game to get shot of him. I don’t buy into this ‘I never want my club to lose’ mentality, when there is so much at stake. It would have also had the added bonus of further undermining the Lansdown’s credibility.
 

Fast forward to today and another season is pretty much over by Christmas with £10m down the swanny. The net result is a lot of dead wood under contract for the next few years with potential FFP implications going forward. 
 

[RollsRoyce]

IMHO , people are not reacting to losing 2-0 away at WBA. Hey, that is no disaster. But many can see the reality. We made a change, mainly unpopular, with the aim of improving. But it is so blatantly obvious we have regressed in so many areas, are boring to watch, have destroyed the pathway ( That almost all of us invested in, time patience and understanding, we were onboard ) spent millions on squad fillers to avoid playing the youth, have injury issues again, and are so far off top 6 it hurts. Not top 2, top 6. 

But, the only person that counts here is Stev L. He decided to give his son Jon free play, he allows the club to employ friends and family, he has never sought to employ the best his money would have allowed. He is self interested, end of. If he had the club and fans at heart he would put the club up for sale at a market led price , because after more than 2 decades, his version of Bristol City has hit the buffers, he does not know how to take it any further. So Steve, dump the go, and either employ professionals and give them the freedom you gave your son, or sell on for a realistic price and let a new generation of ownership commence.

Obviously, not sure how it works at Coventry exactly, but taking a typical example managers do not have the time to sift through the same volume of games/data as the head of recruitment/scouts do. Managers will have the final decision, but it’s the recruitment team who find the players and provide the reports to the manager.

They obviously share part of the responsibility, but responsibility is shared throughout the club and in my eyes leans more into the recruitment team.

[Capman]

If it was just the shockingly sterile performances it would be bad enough. But I cannot think of a single player who has progressed under the current structure. They seem to lack confidence and belief in what they are doing. The progression from the academy also seems to have been blocked. Together that is a major problem not just for this season, but financially for seasons to come. The board needs to act and act decisively. 

[Dastardly and Muttley]

Completely agree with Robbored. What is it, 5 points from the last 18? Dreadful. And he’s shown no ability to change things or turn it around.

Wish I had a £1 for every time Manning on RB said WBA were 'hard to break down'. As a coach it's his responsibility to find a way. That performance was pathetic.

I'm all for supporting Manning but 6 (including Hogg's) wins in 23 games this season is very very poor

Even at the depths of Holden and then Pearsons rebuild we were largely winning a third of games

[Bazooka Joe]

Manning in a hypothetical moment of honest reflection : "I can't believe the amount of damage that I have done to Bristol City, and the embarrassment that I have caused by being so inept and out of my depth"

Steve and Jon Lansdown: " Hold my beer ! "

Tinnion: " You're all bloody amateurs ! . . . Here !  . . . Hold my beer ! "

[BS3rich]

Get Robins in..if not would even prefer Hogg til the end of the season to see what he can do. We played our best stuff under him this season imo.

[marmite]

IF Mark Robbins is available and IF Steve really wants him here then the time is now. But knowing us, we will sack Manning just after Robbins gets another club and then say our preferred choice is employed elsewhere. Would Robbins come here? Did he turn down Millwall because he was given a nudge by Steve that Manning may be given his marching orders? Have the players heard the same and are trying to get things moving? 

There is certainly a look of " lost the dressing room " about things atm.

Who really thought LM would make a great tactical switch to change the course of the game? I can bet absolutely no one. He's not a Championship level Manager. No one else would have appointed him other than Bristol City.

From late December to late February we had a mini Cup Run culminated in a spirited loss v Man City. 2023 and we saw the gradual growth of Scott and occasional before sold explosiveness of Semenyo. There was a 2 month unbeaten run and an outside hope of a Play-off Push.

Last year we at least had 2 FA Cup Games and 2 Replays and then post Southampton had a chance to make a Play-off.push.

This feels flatter and duller, too far behind the 8-Ball and likely to lose vs Wolves in the Cup.
