REDOXO Posted Saturday at 20:41 Share Posted Saturday at 20:41 Lots of very unhappy City fans today. So, if things don’t improve very quickly our young coach will likely get his P45 With what’s out there (and excluding NP) or who could be poached what and who do people want to take over this squad? Manager or Coach is a consideration Edit Include NP if you like, why not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted Saturday at 21:06 Author Share Posted Saturday at 21:06 (edited) I’m very much of the opinion we need a manager not a coach. A manager would at least say to BT stop interfering you cockwomble! His tenure would be truncated but you just get the feeling this bloke is a bit of a puppet!

WessexPest Posted Saturday at 21:07 Share Posted Saturday at 21:07 If we get to a point where Manning has to be sacked then surely, surely, the Lansdowns finally have to hold their hands up and say “Yup; it’s us. We are the fundamental problem at this club.” Sack Cotterill, appoint Johnson, sack Johnson appoint ******* Holden. Finally seem to have made a shrewd appointment in Pearson only to sack him, take a huge gamble on Manning. A gamble that looks very much like it hasn’t paid off. Why should we trust their judgement any more? They’ve clearly long since demonstrated that they don’t get a thing right re footballing matters. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted Sunday at 05:52 Share Posted Sunday at 05:52 I think most sensible club owners would have thanked Nigel Pearson for his efforts and promoted his staff , if there was a worry over his health issues. NP had built a culture that dragged the club up by its bootstraps into which everybody but the idiots at the top bought into and was a great fit for our us. Real football men who commanded respect with their personalities, enthusiasm and knowledge.

I feel I have made a grave error of judgement with the comment I made ["premier league manager"] which @Silvio Dante refers to earlier in this thread. LJ was something of a blagger [we've all seen his power point presentation?] but I am forming the opinion that LM takes things to a whole new level!!!! With regard to Tinnion, his influence is greater than it was during the Pearson era of that there is no doubt. As regards the inflow of players during the most recent window none of the signings leave you scratching your head asking "why" so he avoids criticism on this front. Is BT going to call LM into his office on Monday and say buck your ideas up and play our marquee signing in the position his is best suited to? I think not. IIRC from our [FBC] interview with BT, LM does NOT take orders from him but "we talk several times a day" which plays into the narrative of how the club is run these days viz. management by committee - BT, LM, Tom Rawcliffe working "together" loosely under Jon Lansdown who will always check with his dad to ratify any major decision. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the Plymouth players mobbing Wayne Rooney yesterday when they scored their winner . For all his short comings he appears to have created a togetherness that we used to have and have now lost . The players at least have his achievements in the game to look up to ( if not his personal issues ) to give him the credibility that earns respect . Manning has no such credibility , passion or fire and we now have it seems , a board aloof from the fans and a coaching team aloof from both fans and players .

Flippant as this is, it's the avenue I would explore if I was in charge and a change was needed. I am aware that Moyes has a reputation far outreaching us and he'll be in a job in the Prem as soon as a team sacks their manager and needs someone to keep them up. However, I look at the way Moyes has been treated since leaving Everton and wonder whether he's tired of the merry-go-round. If we could sell him the dream of building something that is his with 3 years to go and do that. Backing in the market and overall control of everything football related. I'd give anything tbh. Pipe dream or otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes us resilient to injuries but no more. It looks like an expansive window compared to the barren recent years but in terms of proven ability at this level, there is very little. Someone yesterday was saying Fally is a real gem, he has something about him & may turn out to be, but last Yr he was usually sub in the Austrian league & since LG game 2, his performances have been far more miss than hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
