I 100% respect your decision my hunger for going to city is at its all time low I've renewed not for wanting to but my spending time with my lad on a match day. I did repeat saying on here I wouldn't renew and I have but I've payed by direct debit so I know I can cancel any time and a way of protest I will do so if need be. Lansdowns have lost my respect fully things need to change massively if this club needs to move forward and every fan we need to let them know how we feel if it's being at live forums or getting our questions and feelings across online. Let's get our city back and that good feeling on match days! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted Sunday at 22:56 Share Posted Sunday at 22:56 5 hours ago, Fuber said: Marshall's fine - the issue is he shouldnt be having to step into the BCFC side. That was likely done in an attempt to take pressure of off Tinnion and Jon. He's the one who whistle blew with regards to Ashton's marked overspending - just in enough time that meant we didnt fall foul of FFP under Gould/Pearson. Thanks, him and Rawcliffe are of the correct calibre then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going ahead with the forum may well “solve” a problem for them in the short term (avoidance of challenge) but it would look like absolutely gaming the situation on a cynical basis and do them longer term PR damage. Look, there are undoubtedly questions to be asked of the regime, and of the team management. Those questions remain valid and should be picked up again at an appropriate time. But there is no way Chris Hogg should be asked to sub in for one of his best mates at a time like this, and no way the board should use it as an opportunity to avoid those questions.

Jacki Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago There is no way this can reasonably go ahead in the circumstances. It would be completely inappropriate and should be cancelled immediately. All anyone at the top of the club should be doing at the moment is trying to keep things running in Liam’s absence and, most importantly, making sure they’re giving him all the support they can.

We all know he didn’t employ himself. In retrospect perhaps you are right... Perhaps It should go ahead as it leaves Mr Tinnion and Mr Lansdown on there own to argue why they did things and how we are here. personally I would find going ahead distasteful, but as you say if people don’t want to go they have a choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Tinnion, Lansdown, and whoever filled the third spot were up for it (and one of their colleagues/friends is experiencing a horrific time so they may well also be suffering) then it would be utterly inappropriate for 300 or so people, including his employers to sit and discuss questions that relate to Manning's appointment or performance whilst a) he's going through this and b) he's not present to make himself heard.

Agree, Although there are a few non-Manning Questions I'd love to ask. Namely why there is no coverage available of the U21's and U18's. There really should be and many other clubs do it. Questions around why we are so slow to announce loanees leaving and leave important details like lengths out. Questions around the Sporting Quarter/Infrastructure, Whether the hints of a Sale are still relevant 12 months on Questions over the placement of away fans, atmosphere and Safe standing. Questions around our board set up and lack of CEO. My worry was that (And I was intending to contribute to it) the meeting would focus solely on the pitch/performances. That's the biggest issue, but there is a LOT of clarity missing in the relationship between us and them. In a perfect world this forum would provide much of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I don’t rate Manning as our coach (for now at least) and our despise our board, I think you make a very good point. Had they cancelled it immediately it could’ve been perceived as them taking a relieved ‘out’. In leaving it 24 hours it looks more considered and with much less interpretation. On this occasion I think they’ve got the tone, timing and decision making spot on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
