Would have preferred to stick with NP but in the current circumstances this seems like a good appointment to me. At least it’s not Lampard. 

I'm not so sure. I don't think we have the right infrastructure in place to support a young coach.

Feels very, very much like when Derek McInnes came in - young, progressive, doing well with a small club. They have/had very similar experience in terms of numbers of games managed and win percentages at the point of joining this club. Frankly, not the type the club needs, the club can support and think this will go the same way to be honest.

It's a crap appointment. All week OTIB has gone in to meltdown about NP and rightly so. Then just a few days later City fans are lapping it up that we've landed Manning as the replacement for NP. It's embarrassing.

Lapping it up I think is a little over the top. Maybe looking foward to hopefully seeing city really attack teams and be more cut throat on the ball rather than it be as boring as it has been for a while now.

We haven't got the players for that, been saying since the start we've got a load of runners and bar Naismith/Mehmeti and the departing Scott we've got no guile or creativity to get at teams like that.

I’ll guarantee his remit is to scour the lower leagues for new players. And if those lower league players come good we’ll sell them.

Most likely will want to bring one or two Oxford players along for the ride.

So a coach that didn't last in L2 and then has a about 12 games in L1 is going to come in to the Championship and start really attacking teams?

Honestly I’d be all over this. Excellent coach, Oxford played really really good stuff against us at AG in august. 
 

However….he is quite boring in press conference. So pick your poison. 

But did he keep saying yes all the time, if so, then he's perfect for the Lansdown's.

Maybe so but different tactics and coaching could help with the added bonus of loan market and transfer window coming up ( If money is available )

Maybe not all rumours about Tinnion pulling the strings

As he's watched Oxford a lot in the past months

Possibly sussing Manning out rather than scouting for players

Still definitely happening today? Did Liam enjoy his Sunday roast?

Didn't want Nige to leave, but actually pretty happy with this appt.

Only 38, fresh ideas, seems to have a v good track record with developing youth. I've been quite a big critic of Jon, but at least he's stuck to his initial statement of getting in a progressive coach that likes to play front footed football, even if it may not be the most 'impressive' appointment out there, which he seemingly also did say.

Understandably some are concerned about him getting sacked by MK Dons, but let's not also forget that he helped save Oxford from relegation, now has them 2nd in the league and also got MK Dons into the play-offs. Not a bad track record so far, right? Oh and also a 48% win rate in Belgium.

Get behind the new man, folks!

Just catching up with this. Manning said Saturday that there had been no contact. Bristol Live said there had been contact this morning. So 8 days before he was contacted, how far down the list was he? How many turned us down before? Obviously not first choice.

Don't take any of that as fact 

Nothing more than paper talk

There will be days and days of negotiation through agents. Manning will say there’s no contact, because technically there hasn’t been….the contact is through third parties.

I've already got mates texting me 'who the f@ck is Liam Manning'. My reply is 'exactly'.

Who gives a ****?

Had you ever heard of: Scott Murray? Albert Adomah? Alex Scott?

Had you ever heard of Eddie Howe before he was appointed the first time at Bournemouth? Have you ever heard of Keiran Mckenna before he took Ipswich job.

But we had heard of big names such as, Marcus Stewart, David James, Michael Bridges... Those went well...

Oh right. So the hierarchy won't trust a proven, experienced Manager but will trust a nobody with hardly any senior management experience and no Championship experience with cash to spend.

City are turning in to a footy version of The Office.

We could have said the same thing about Gary Johnson. And what about Ipswich fans when Kieran McKenna was appointed. Kieran who? 

And Dean Holden & that was ******* amazing.

Keith Millen, Sean O’Driscoll, Derek McInnes..

Does this not concern you? 

Out of interest which youth players has he developed in his short managerial career? 

JL also said we expect a top 6 finish

Good luck to him. It's not his fault he's been offered the job and accepted it (if he has). I will reserve judgment until I see what happens on the pitch over the next season or two and how much budget he is given compared to the man he is taking over from.

Indeed, it is wash, rinse, repeat. The Lansdown dream of finding a new young, unproven manager. It has failed every single time, only for more experienced and competent heads to create a team ethic and club culture and drap them back from collapse. it is as if every time he nears a sniff of success, he can forget everything that created it and return to type. Good luck to this chap, never heard of him, but he has two useless support pillars in Tinnion and Lansdown. That is the issue at BCFC. But they get their yes man who they can manipulate, more in their comfort zone. Bless. 

Bit of pressure having to get a promotion this season though. That was a tough burden to give an unproven young manager. But the 2 really under the spotlight are the Snake and Crayola.

Don't mistake me for agreeing with this 

In hindsight they've been planning for a future without NP, it's now clear this is why no money was made available after Scott was sold 

My only query is if there was no long term backing why didn't NP get the boot last summer? 

It makes us feel even more like a rich man's toy

Sure I read somewhere he was credited with Declan Rices’ development at WHU

Livid with the Lansdowns, it’s all underwhelming for me but will back him and hope he does well. Glad it’s over though as there has been some absolute horseshit posted over the last 8 days on this forum 

Yes and there has been some absolute horseshit voiced by the club.

Season or 2 !! You really think he will be here that long?
