Ex-Staff Liam Manning

Favourite for the job apparently.
Or they are just reading this :D
Hmmm, manager turns OUFC around but leaves suddenly after half a job to be replaced by the recently sacked Birmingham City manager... How very 1982. If history is repeating we are about to go on one hell of a ride...
 
I should imagine a few on here are celebrating, this disruption can only be good for Mousinhos Pompey.

Anyway bored of Manning now, couple of caretaker manager wins then get the new man in, maybe one with an actual personality and an assistant manager who isn’t a clone of Phil Neal, then upset the Mous lovers by storming to the title.
 
Manning is one of those people who you can’t actually imagine what he does for fun, doesn’t seem like he would schedule much time in for it.
Dogging, Friday nights, cutteslowe park, got caught last Friday, his missus found out and demanded to move away from the area or she would leave him….
 
I wonder if it was Liam Manning's choice not to cup tie Fin Stevens. Could he come in for Beadle, Stevens, and McGuane in January. I'd be more worried if Bristol City poach Ed Waldron.
 
To me this changes everything and I have no reason to doubt @ECYellow and I will take back some of the things I have said about Manning.
I think we all assumed he was on a longer contract, obviously we can’t compete with a 3.5 year deal and probably doubling or tripling the salary.
Now if the original contract was not renegotiated in the summer and he’s only on a 12 month rolling contract this was always on the cards once we got off to a good start.
He would be foolish not to go for the more secure job
Graham it’s not this!

He hardly played Stevens here so I'm not sure he would play him there!
 
I would expect Chris Hackett to be assisting shorting tonight and Saturday, and then to have a new manager in place by the time we play Charlton.

The one good thing about Manning has been that there is now very clear structure in training and our approach to games. The planning for Leyton Orient had already taken place and we would have had a Tuesday and Saturday team pending any last minute tweaks. Shorty is good with the players and has spoken with them about the need to do everything they have been doing up until now. They have his back and I wouldn't expect too many changes for Saturday.

The most important thing now is getting the right manager in to keep us moving forward. We've got 3 weeks until we play Bolton, and with respect to Orient and Cheltenham, that will be where we need the right person leading us. The club were aware of the interest at the weekend but things moved quickly yesterday and the recruitment process has already started.

We're in a very good position on and off the pitch, and I would be amazed if we haven't got managers already in post elsewhere looking at us. This won't just be the tired list of unemployed managers or people with previous links to the club. It won't be Beano. It won't be Robbie Fowler. And it certainly won't be Sol Campbell!

Let's not pretend that this was ever part of the plan or deny the disruption this causes, but hopefully we'll come out the others idea stronger and ready to push this team on to promotion.
We want the team right for Orient & Cheltenham too.

I'm pretty sure they said on the radio this evening that he can't come in for any of our players. But I was only half listening, so not 100%.
 
They came on here to see what we were saying & if we were gutted. To find out we weren't ,but couldn't believe it was a average club he was going to . plus a bland robotic snake. That's swallowed a book of quotes for dummies....
