Fordy62 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 6 minutes ago, DT The Optimist said: Another doom & gloom post . We are stronger than we were last season.... any rational City fan can see that. Last year we were good defensively and perhaps got stronger now with return of Atkinson & Naismith... same for midfield with Bird, & now chuck in Earthy. With Yu, Sinc's and Fally..why not be better final third. There is also no reason to believe that Manning will not be a top, top head coach. Look at some of the comments made by the opposition end of last season about us. (Norwich and Ipswich who really fancy us for a good season). Be happy Fordy62... . Now where has this rumour sprung from that the Twine deal done....I looked on this thread and few pages back someone says deal is done ? Nothing from Lancashire or down here... That sparks noise its done? Any hard evidence anywhere ?? Just look at the wealth of people saying it’s done. Some forum big hitters. They seem to think it’s done, so I’ll go with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 20 minutes ago, Randy Marsh II said: I suppose the club can say they gave Manning every chance now, have we had any public expectations from the board? Bingo. I am a big LM fan but he has been backed. It may be backed in a responsible way(not lj and ma way) but very fairly backed. On paper, i think you can still say this isn’t a top 8 side but that is where LM needs to shine. He came in to play a decent brand of attacking football, to develop players and be someone that can get an extra 10-15% from these types of players. Big pressure on him now. Had a summer with most of the new signings too with ST very familiar with all this. Just Earthy who may take some time to work his way into the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of days ago you said you wanted to wait 10 games before making any predictions about the season, does Twine really impact things that much? Even with him I don't think we have the depth or quality in key areas to mount a serious play off challenge, looking at some of the other sides who will be there and there abouts I'm not sure we'll have enough, even if we've strengthened from last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
