A big tick in my book, it's on the record in LM's book he made Bristol City FC a top 6 club in 2024/25 season, credit and respect to the man from me.
football history is very brief! the finer details quickly dissolve into the ether ... ........... they will record 2024/25 Championship played 46 in 6th place on 68 points Bristol City... play off's BCFC 0 -3 SHEFF UTD / SHEFF UTD 3 - 0 BCFC Manager Liam Manning
He won't because we can't afford to. Our idiot Sporting Director apparently gave him a 4 year contract on top of the payouts we have agreed with the 2 Head Coaches he sacked in the previous 2 seasons. An American owner, a Sporting Director out of his depth, a Head Coach who refuses to change his failing tactics and a squad of expensive unfit players who have turned out to be not worth the money spent - sums us up precisely.
Canary Manning was in trouble with results early last season but then suffered a family tragedy losing a son. Hogg took over and changed our season, Manning came back after a time off and we reached the playoffs. Absolutely no doubt you will beat us next Saturday and who knows it may change your season whereas we will flirt at the other end of the Championship.
He is very stubborn is very set in his ways and approach. The football was boring better watching paint dry. Hogg had us playing far better football than Manning by a country mile.
the problem having american owners it is all down to result at end of the competition.. seems to be so with a lot of Italians as well
I'm a big fan of both Nige and Cotts and also suffered from dreary Manningball but LM did make us a top six Championship club, he deserves credit for that, it's up there, the most successful manager (Final Position Wise) since GJ days, he chose to leave and move on, we now have Gerhard Struber, with him we have also moved on, he has also inherited the Jon boy and Tinman framework, ' Blessed are the poor in spirit' 'Up the City'
I find it hard to understand why Bell went on loan and we kept Armstrong and Maylu. Surely Bell has more to offer up front than Tinnion's 2 expensive signings.
Sam Bell sets out goals for Wycombe spell after Bristol City loanee fires Chairboys to away win Bristol City loanee Sam Bell scored the only goal as Wycombe Wanderers beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 at the DW Stadium https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sam-bell-sets-out-goals-10570032
even more difficult to understand when KONE WAS IN OUR SIGHTS????? he has merely replaced him! Although it is what it is maybe Bell getting 90 minutes v sub appearances is the plan ... bring him back January and then SEND Mayulu out to replace him? or sell on Armstrong?
Get rid of them both otherwise we will still be asking next year why they are still being paid for no reward? Perhaps Sam Bell will return as a much improved player with his playing time at Wycombe.
