Guest Payney Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Picture the scene:Our very own left pegged genius and managerial flop aka Tinman, decides enough is enough after spending another evening hiding behind a "made up" name perusing the Fans Forum and reading another barrage of abuse/helpful hints/suggestions/general frustration/anger(delete as appropriate)directed towards him and his rather inept performance this season as manager of Bristol City Football Club.With that (and don't ask me how) he manages to get all of our telephone numbers and calls us all up and says "So hot shot, you think you have all the answers to turning around this disasterous season, tell me just one thing you want me to change for the Torquay match and I'll do it, and lets see if it makes a difference!"So, what do you advise...I think my answer would be..."Brian thanks for this get opportunity, if at all possible could you ask Steve 'Flapper' Phillips to take those stupid highlights out of his hair, its very off putting when trying to count how many people are in the stadium in only 90 mins" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatcham red Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 "Brian, you've given it your best shot and I admire your resolve in trying to get it right. You've got a good crop of young players, who could gel in time, but ain't going to win 9 on the spin to get us in the play offs. (please, please prove me wrong!) Looking ahead to Torquay however, if you could get the Doc fit, Dinning interested, Coles focussed, and Wilkshire in position, it might just compliment the young 'uns. Once you've done that, I've know idea what you're going to find to do on Friday...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neo Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Invest in some studs for Scott's boots to keep him on his feet and shorten the studs on Brooker's so he can get off the ground without them keeping him nailed to the floor! edit : Scott as in Groundsman Willie, not Brown!

Dave L Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Of course Tins asks for my opinion on a daily basis, and even though I say so myself, I like to think I've given him some pretty good advice over the season. Some of my gems include: 'Lita? Are you mad? Danny was right about him. Get rid', 'Steve Brooker? Don't waste your money', 'That team's easily good enough to beat Brentford', 'Sign Dinning, he's quality', 'Don't worry about arpaul .. he loves you really' and 'Rectally, with a red hot poker'.I have to go now. I must talk to Steve L with some more thoughts about the new badge. I was thinking blue quarters, with a pirate ship on it ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I'd say ignore all the negative comments on the forum and in the press.Have faith in your're own ability to build a successfull team and get someone in to help out with more experience than you to provide an alternative view.
