tin Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) When you look at Stoke away at the end of last season, Derby away this season and now Blackburn today - during which time he’s had plenty of “time on the grass” and significant cash to spend - the manner of those defeats makes it very hard to defend him. There have not been enough good performances to counterbalance those. Edited September 14 by tin 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I was excited by LM’s appointment & there’s been periods where he got us playing some real nice football. But….. right now he really is floundering & so early in the season - body language suggests he might be feeling the pressure too. This could go horribly wrong for him, very quickly. I hope he pulls his head out of his ass & starts reacting to the performances. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temp Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) They (the Landowns) dont care about us getting to the prem or even challenging for it, they do care about selling ST`s and thats already done, so nothing will happen till its time to sell them again; staying in this div and hoping for 3 worse teams than us is all they want. Are not the manager and many newbie players on long contracts anyway, so the boss will go with it till xmas at least and then only act if we are rooted to the bottom. Tinman will have himself sorted and has his feet well under the Lansdowns table so he is here as long as they are....trust me on Tinnion Feel for the fans who follow us all over, in hope that things will change, sorry they wont. not until new owners move in.

hinsleburg Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I'm now at the stage where I would get rid personally. There were a few positive signs at times last season we were making progress but ultimately its one step forward and two back. We know its not all on Manning and I hope he has a good career, but it's not going to be here. Wrong decision from us and from him and one that needs to be rectified for all parties. There's only one direction we are leaving this division with this structure and its not up. I don't know who I'd bring in but just be nice to see some emotion and in game tactical nous.

The official attendances are often misleading. There are 13k plus season ticket holders, plus sometimes 2-3k away fans, plus sometimes cheap offers such as mates rates. This gives a reasonable looking attendance. The key is how many season ticket holders actually turn up and how many other City fans pay full price?

W-S-M Seagull Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Mannings RB interview concerned me. He sounded quite upbeat for someone who's just overseen a 3 nil defeat. I think that's because as long as they have a good week in training then he considers the Saturday to be largely irrelevant because ultimately he sees himself as a coach. The problem with Manning is that his approach if plan a isn't working is to just try and do plan a better. He has little in game tactical nous. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeggyBlaggers Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 The trouble starts at the very top of the club. Its just history repeating itself. Another young coach, another business model - another failure. The realists amongst the fanbase knew how this was going to pan out, the optimists are either still in denial or a bit dim. In todays football, you cant have 40 games to 'build a squad' and implement your tactics. We are a selling club, so our best players are gone pretty much every transfer window - the head coach had to have instant impact. Manning has achieved a few good wins, but largely been an underwhelming disappointment. It wont get any better, irs clear as day the players look lost and zero motivation. Can anyone really blame Tommy Conway for not signing a new deal and sticking around for this sh*t? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I share the concerns of many on here about where we are headed but there is absolutely no way our ‘board’, such as it is, will get rid of Manning any time soon. They have backed him more than I ever thought they would in the transfer market and, given that most of the signings have worked with him before, they are very much Manning’s signings. We will have to be absolutely sinking without trace for them to even think about replacing him. And, for what it’s worth, I think it would be a very sudden and harsh reaction to get rid of him this quickly. Let’s get to 10 games and see where we are. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
