Popular Post EmersonsKev Posted October 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2021 If there was a job ever more suited to an individual I'd like to see it! The Academy continues to be in great hands with a team of people that really care about doing things right. 26 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Musicworks Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 There is something immensely reassuring about Tinman becoming director of the academy having been so important in its development and that of so many young players development over the years. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I was just going to ask what had happened to Gary Probert! we should have guessed! I understand he did a great job, but not a "big name". Have no doubt at all that Tinnion will be fantastic in the role and he is city, through and through.

cidercity1987 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Oh, that's a shame about Probert, he seemed alright. The first one poached by Ipswich that isn't a positive 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I'm assuming Director of Football Operations (whatever that means) is a step up from Academy Manager? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Although I have nothing against Probert, who seems a decent sort, Ashton just can’t help himself can he? Bobby Reid and Joe Bryan predated Probert, so the only academy graduate he brought through as head of the academy (or otherwise) who played in the prem is Kelly. So, a stream isn’t hugely arguable (until last years injury crisis) and some appears to be “one”. Dick! 3 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Shame about Probert but great move for Tinman. Hope we've got someone with the same passion, enthusiasm and ability as Tinman lined up for the Player Pathway Manager role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the role had already changed with less emphasis on first team fringe players going on loan? The subtle name change from Loans Manager to PPM initially? Taylor Moore is the only bona fide first teamer out on loan. Would imagine some / much of the PPM role is consumed into new role of Academy Director and what Gary Davenport will pick up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted October 15, 2021 Admin Share Posted October 15, 2021 Fantastic appointment and fully deserved Just a shame he was appointed manager those years back as everything else associated with the club has turned to gold In my time of watching city probably only him and Scott Murray I could call real legends of the club 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Sad to see Probert go (especially to Ipswich) but huge congratulations to Tinnion on the new role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Nothing against Probert at all, good luck to him…..suspect Ashton has tapped him up (no issues with that either), offered him a few quid more, and he’s accepted it. Just like most of us would in that situation. Saves us a few quid in wages no doubt. Goes with my best wishes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZepperin Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Good news about BT. Very odd for Ipswich to release their news about GP joining them just as City announced he was leaving. Couldn't they have waited a bit, and then take a photo of him in an Ipswich top, not a City one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Funny Ipswich, on their official blurbs, don't mention Bristol City once, the suited *** just says that he's worked with him for a number of years ! I get the impression there is no love lost between *** face and us . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one existed, it would no doubt have included a clause preventing him from poaching BCFC players or staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probert was doing a great job but this is a chance for him to work above academy level as well as doing academy work, no hard to see why he’d go for the chance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Really great to hear this. Very lucky to have someone like Tinman who cares so much about the club and young players in this role. Future DoF in the making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are all Ashton cronies/family anyway. Congrats Tinman the youngsters are in good hands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in respect of Mark Ashton there is plenty you can and should do for a bloke who was taking £450k out of the club every year. Directors and senior employees typically have non-solicitation clauses in their contracts which exist for a reason to stop a mass grab of staff by departing leaders and are much more enforceable than non-compete clauses. Happily, as @billywedlock alludes to, it's probably the case that we didn't care about the people he's hijacked. Mark is building himself quite an empire at Portman Road. The Americans must be absolutely lapping up the BS. Might get in contact with them myself to tell them about my royal uncle in Nigeria who needs to get his wealth out of the country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, I have a Nigerian royal uncle, too, plus a fine lady in Florida, I believe, who urgently needs to offload cash. That’s unless Wael Meet Again has already sent her his bank details.
