PhatWill Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 What a ridiculous post. So if we lose all our remaining games Tinnion will still be in charge? And your source is confident that every single player at the club is now, what, 100% behind Tinnion - has only just realised he's manager of the club? I think its fairly safe to predict that Tinnion will be manager next season unless we blow up majorly from now until the end of the season - hardly breaking news I have to say.

Guest hairyshamrock Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 brian tinnion will be citys manager next season. ← Is he a manager now then? Cos he's doing a good impression of somoeone out of Monty Python! Can we have Basil Fawlty as manager for a could of weeks? That'd be more interesting on Radio Bristol on the way home! After drawing 1-1 with Blackpool... Geoff - "So Basil, you got ahead but didn't kill the game off in the second half...?" Basil - "No Geoff, we didn't. Scott Murray is worse than that Spanish Waiter i used to employ but the board have informed me i can't slap him across the head as i used to do with Manuel. At least i could understand him! I'm sorry they didn't do so well, they were poor. End of story. I'm not going to do any of this 'look me in the eyes and tell me you care about the club' rubbish. Get them in tomorrow and show them who's boss. Now, where's that scottish so-and-so..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rednotblue Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 It's Outrageous that Tinnion will be here next season, the man is a complete failure, hes' in his first season and has achieved nothing. Possibly because the season is not over yet and BT can still take us to the 1st Division and beyond who knows, I can't read the future. What I think I know is this; Tinnion is trying to take Bristol City Football Club to the 1st division and has ruffled a few feathers to say the least on his merry way. However he has shown he will play the youngsters, some of whom are very talented and worthy of a place in the starting 16. He has made mistakes (who doesn't) but hopefully he will learn form that and be able to turn it into a positive. I.E The Craig Ireland saga. At times we have played some very entertaining football and others some absolute stinkers. He's given Leroy Lita a chance and it looks like he could be a 25 a season man. He has got a heck of a lot more out of Luke Wilkshire than DW ever did and Wilkshire does look like a class act. Sadly it seems like The Doc will be leaving but on the plus side Brown looks like an able replacement. Brooker is an excellent signing. There is still time to make a promotion charge or sneak into the playoffs i really don't care. One thing is for sure though Tinman could still go down as being the man who took us up.

(Brian if I could have my fiver now that'd be great!) ← Hear hear (apart from the sorrow that Tommy's 'leaving' - I think the sooner the better for his career and for the club). Whatever happens between now and May, this year will be seen as a watershed. We lost a manager who was clearly semi-detatched/absentee (pick your own phrase) and we have someone prepared to take the tough choices, give the young lads a chance and clear out those who weren't committed to the cause, complacent or just plain lazy. At the end of 04-05, pride and unity will be firmly put back in the squad and we'll be a better club for it. Bring on the moaners......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 No-one on this thread has yet mentioned the the influence of our old friend money. To sack Tinnion would cost the club whatever his severence cheque would be and you can be assured that we would looking at a large cheque.Add that to the cost of engaging another manager and his staff and you have a situation that simply can't be afforded by the club. So....on financial grounds alone it makes perfect sense that Tinnion will still in charge next season. It ain't rocket science.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy g Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hardly a surprise really. Assuming nothing catastrophic happens between now and the end of the season, there is no way our chairman will want to get rid of Tinnion. We'll probably end up on the fringes of the playoffs and might sneak into sixth spot if we're really lucky (am I the only one who thinks thats a bit poor for a club which was making a strong challenge for automatic promotion for the past two seasons ?) And as Robbored said it would be costly to sack him so soon after appointing him. But I think theres a more important factor which will keep Tinnion at the club next season.... The chairman won't want to look stupid by admitting he was wrong. He's publically said that we should judge HIM on Tinnions results and if our manager fails then it reflects on the chairman too. We can only hope that Tinnion learns the ropes very quickly, or we could be seeing further seasons of under-achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tinnion fails to get us into the play-offs this season, I think SL while take a long hard look at the situation. Can you see another season of 9000 season ticket holders ? The feeling on this forum is that the appt of BT has divided the fan base & can the club afford another season in Div 1 & with BT at the helm. I don't feel enthused at all at the moment & far more fans may pick there games next season. Next 11 ganes will shape next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednready Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Judge me by Tinnion. OK. If we finish in single digits say 9th or better, BCFC media releases will help us find that acceptable. " Fair result after a season of great change"." Tins paves the way for future development". " City to reveal new signings"." Tins new squad are optomistic for promotion".
