Benneythered Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Hospitality season ticket holders got an email saying the exec lounge by the boxes (which they can use on non match days) is being used for filming on Monday morning so they won't be able to use it. Nobody knows what is being filmed, we can only guess but staff suggested yesterday that they couldn't say what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football manager thing is a bit of a myth and he has a degree in coaching, but not yet the pro licence which he is studying for in France. There are no fines being paid now because of his enrolment on the pro course. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12839068/will-still-stade-de-reims-english-manager-says-he-would-love-to-manage-in-premier-league The bit about the Championship is interesting. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 It is refreshing to hear City fans be realistic or even pessimistic about who we could possibly attract unlike the blue lot who seem to think they are a massive club that managers are queueing up to 'do a job for' for. Looking forward to hearing the news whatever it is. Much like checking the final scores, bracing myself in case of disappointment. Remember, whoever it is, we shouldn't judge them too soon.

ProfitInMyPocket Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 This is Steve Lansdown's Bristol City, there won't be any informing of the players tomorrow because our main targets probably told us to do one and now we're scrambling around for anyone who would put up with the restrictions they've put in place. All this talk of different managers and it's still probably going to be Manning.
