Always incredible how many people can tell what is onside & offside from a camera angle where it is impossible to tell what is onside & offside #BristolCity
In spite of all the rubbish over the past few months think it's fair to say our ceiling under Manning is far higher than it ever was under Pearson. Whether that results in sustainable, consistent improvement is another matter #BristolCity
Results & performances are dire so Manning is the obvious target for people's anger, I get it. But after 20-plus years of ineptitude how are the pitchforks still not out for Lansdown? Fundamental change will only come with new ownership not a new manager #BristolCity
Wanting success and implementing a strategy to deliver success are two entirely different things. I don't doubt the Lansdowns want success but they've proven themselves completely incapable of delivering it #BristolCity
Dreadful viewing & completely get ongoing frustrations, but given the current situation that was a big win for the players today. Application and commitment can't be questioned even if victory does little to allay questions over Manning #BristolCity
So much to like about that performance both in terms of execution and character, which makes the end result all the more frustrating. Issue is results are becoming increasingly important and the pressure to win at home increases further... #BristolCity
Successful managers positivity affect games by identifying problems and solving them with tactical adjusments. Chucking on as many subs as possible and hoping for the best is Sunday League stuff and a worrying sign of a manager who doesn't have the answers #BristolCity
Completely understand frustrations after today's dismal showing, but if only people who are so angry with a manager who's been here 20 odd games would direct that anger at the hapless owner who's been here 20 odd years... #BristolCity
Totally get it if fans are angry with Nige's sacking & appalling club comms but some of the reaction to Manning's first game is wildly over the top. Take frustrations out on the Lansdowns not the new guy who's been here 5 mins & barely stepped on the training pitch #bristolcity
Years behind the curve but finally looking to modernise the football structure is a step in the right direction. Just hope Tins has got the job because he's the best man for the role, not because he's Tins #BristolCity

'Fine, you might think, f*ck the press, they’ve had an over-inflated sense of themselves for too long. And you may be right, but where do we go for objective truth now?' @JohnnyTheNic football365.com/news/everythin…
I’ve failed many times in my life and career and because of this I’ve learned a lot. Instead of feeling defeated countless times, I’ve used it as fuel to drive me to work harder. So today, join me in accepting our failures. Let’s use them to motivate us to work even harder.
This is what happens when your recruitment is headed up by a CEO with no expertise in the field and a manager whose squad-building philosophy was to sign as many ‘clubs in the bag’ as possible #BristolCity

Blaming injuries for such a calamitous season is disingenuous & though they have absolutely been a factor, they can’t be used as convenient excuse to mask the fundamental failings that led us to this point #bristolcity
Football fans wildly overestimate the importance of a team captain. In terms of in-game ‘duties’, it’s little more than a ceremonial position. Of course it’s crucial that teams have players who organise & lead on the pitch, but you don’t need to wear an armband to do that!

Spot-on. I don't think FA Cup replays should be sacred. Financially they *can* be a game-changer for a smaller club, but rarely. Football-wise they feel like a relic. If this change took place in isolation, it would be easy to shrug off. BUT ... you can't see the scrapping of FA…
If clubs rely on one-off, luck of the draw replays to survive, the industry is fundamentally broken. Replays shouldn’t be sacred for that reason. But give the EFL a proper fair deal before you scrap replays. Do these things in the correct order and you don’t get a backlash.
The relegation battle - and this weekend's two strange "derbies" - sum up how vast money has made so much of the Premier League illogical independent.co.uk/sport/football…
If it’s superstition, I can just about get it. But an act of respect? It’s a carpet. I don’t know when it started or by who, but it really is a ridiculous notion
Jude Bellingham made sure to avoid stepping on the Manchester City badge as a gesture of respect. 👏🏻
Just listen to the roar from the away end 🔊 And look at the @BristolCity limbs 👏 #EmiratesFACup
Shout out to everyone filing 1000 words on the whistle.
@chris_cork @CalvinBook True. The Premier League and instant gratification is all a lot of young supporters know
Funny as all of this was, and I was just cracking up, the underrated point in the whole glorious 20mins was that tenured MMA media deserve the entire sport's respect. That and, I'll add, the sport's thanks. MMA does not get to where it is at without the passion of these guys.
It should have been English football's greatest day for 55 years but was instead a sordid and tacky affair, showcasing the worst. There are still big questions to answer - but main issue appears lack of policing. Big piece on the shambles of Wembley independent.co.uk/sport/football…
You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
I am disgusted that @England players who have given so much for our country this summer have been subject to vile racist abuse on social media. It has no place in our country and I back the police to hold those responsible accountable.
@bradclark_184 Jo Goodall clearly running that company as that is perfect shorthand
Judging by what I read here, clubs which, 24 hours ago were traitors who'd signed a pact with the devil, are now great again because they jumped off the ship they realised was sinking. Perhaps Perez wasn't wrong when he was talking about the attention span of some football fans.
Maybe we should call Ashton Gate the Robins Low Performance Centre
@chris_cork Both LJ & DH were obsessed with counter attack and fast turnovers. Coached possesion football out of the team making it hard to control games at home but better away. Also, In losing Pack we also lost our quaterback and didn’t really find another.
Love the idea that Thomas Tuchel would have known more about Callum Hudson-Odoi than other academy products before taking over Chelsea, purely because he is German and Bayern Munich tried to sign him.
@bristolcitylive @GeeMacGee Right decision,6 months to late. I'll praise the "Board" for getting this right but that doesn't absolve them from harsh criticism for making a total bollocks of the one in the summer & taking a long time over said, bollocks. Time will tell however I'm more confident of survival
Farewell Deano; we hardly knew ye. A virtual manager for the plague era, left alone on the sidelines in an empty Ashton Gate. A decent man with a tough, tough gig, but in the end the disposable appendix to the Johnson era.
@chris_cork I've worked for many very rich owners-The succesful one's are the ones that surround themselves with the very best people, listen & let them get on with it
@chris_cork The process was dreadful on the basis that the outcome could have been arrived at without that process taking place-Six weeks earlier. Injuries aside, it hasn't worked as a "Breath of fresh air" or someone to "take us to the next level"
