Guess what?

[Northern]

I've had enough, I'm converted! I know what I've said in the past and I don't give a shite if I get called fickle or whatever because I haev to say I was simply wrong!

In all honesty I thought the only person truely to blame for today's result was Dean Windass! And when Windass got sent off I though Todd shuffled it around well HOWEVER...

I watched Todd today, tried to see what he contributed to the game and he did nothing! Where was EJ? Why continue to play Bower at left back? The substitutions Todd made were unbelievable!

I turned to my dad at the beginning of the second half today and I said "If Todd brings Brown on today I'm switching sides!" I was kind of joking but couldn't believe he took Graham off for Brown! Then to bring Parker (a defender) on for MBW was ridiculous as well!

At this point I was fuming to be honest, I was really pissed off with Windass and now Todd was being negative as usual! Then he takes off OUR ONLY ATTACKING THREAT (JJ) and bring on Joe Colbeck! ???????

The final straw was listening to Todd on the radio on the way home! Clueless

Like I said, I know what I've said before and I'm admitting I'm wrong! So here it is.......

TO: TODD OUT!!!! TO:

Mediocrity is the inword at VP.

[Rick]

Today was one of the most boring, shitty games I have ever seen.

I know the sending off might have been a factor but we made Bournemouth a side who had last the last 5 look like Arsenal, thankfully just like Arsenal they couldn't manage to turn their posession into goals.

[Jantje]

Thank Windass for that Rick, the team battled hard thanks to the stupid twat & his atrocoius tackle. Donovan & some solid defence kept a point for us as we never looked like scoring. I actually felt sorry for Graham today who worked hard but didn't get i bit of service from anyone

[king billy]

Welcome to the group - take your seat and introduce yourself......better late than never!!.....tup:

[Skeptic]

Its not really the result that has peeved me today but Todds interview after the game. We pay this mans wages, im a skint student, i live on 40 quid a week yet i still buy a season ticket, i travel from Manchester every home game costing me 13 quid in the train, yet Todd tells me that i should show more support and stop been more critical?

Absalutely sick to death of it and the train ride home was miserable, i at least expect the supporters to be appreciated as those who are keeping the club alive. Yet tonight i find myself thinking about the professional sports club in this City not so far away from here who treat their fans with respect and who would boot their coach out of the door if he said a word against the paying customer.

The fans emptied their pockets to save this club when our hour of need came, and only a couple of years later the board forgets and allows our own manager to fob off the fans that saved the club, disgraceful, i am seething tonight.

[wykie]

Me too Todd is a condescending clueless twot. Geordie halfwit.

[mrsjdtobe]

I haven't heard or read what Todd said after today's game. I would not be surprised if he blames the fans once again tup:

Btw, I have never seen so many people inside the Bantam's Bar during the match...that was not just down to the cold weather tdwn:

[panther]

I missed the interview as well ! can someone tell me what he said please ?

[jimmy]

Colin Todd at a meeting said he hated the City fans and said "I cant do with The fans at this club,they are nobodys and dont know anything about football."

[Mallorcabantam]

I missed the interview as well ! can someone tell me what he said please ?
From the chat logs----

B_i_N - I hope we don't end up in a relegation fight
tonyd - I would be happy for a couple of wins in the league and a leathering in the cup
B_i_N - He's not happy with the result
tonyd - The fact a player was sent off so early ensures it isnt Todds fault today...Regardless of how much you hate him it isnt his fault today...Backfoot straight away
B_i_N - - A lot of work to be done before the cup game
B_i_N - - He took JJ off because he was tired
mallorcabantam - - True BOTO
tonyd - - Failure at test one is not a good start old man
BoTO - - Thats odd because everytime we play against ten men we lose
tonyd - - Gib bks as in Gibraltar Barracks you muppet.....
B_i_N - He says when you go down to 10 men at home it becomes difficult
Prawn-king - - oh yeh of course...out of 1000's of feet in the reg you ask one name
B_i_N - - Blaming Deano
BoTO - - Let us know what he says Dusty
tonyd - - So you know Gib Bks then?
Prawn-king - - hello Colin
B_i_N - - Here's colin

[wykie]

I missed the interview as well ! can someone tell me what he said please ?

He was not happy at the draw, Windass was at fault and will be dealt with and the fans are w****s or words to that effect. The players it seems go up to him after matches amazed at the attitude of the fans.

Well Todd and players it OUR CLUB, we were here before you and will be here after you and if you do not perform we reserve the right TO LET YOU KNOW you useless pratts. GET IT YET TODD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

[Rick]

Mally it's best you don't post people's IP address on here.

This is the link to the post match interview on Radio Leeds, I can't seem to find the one from Pulse Sport which is the one in question.

[tony d]

Mally it's best you don't post people's IP address on here.

I agree what the fook is going on there like....MB what are you thinking of pal...

[Mallorcabantam]

Sorry guys, didnt realise they were on there :o posted it too quickly :o

[Northern]

Todd didn't blame the fans exactly, he was asked a few times by Derm about the fans reaction to subbing JJ and at the end of the game, and was then asked if he would take the blamt to which his response was something along the lines of....

"Errrrr, they can vent their anger at me if they want as long as they dont blame the players, Errrrrr, I've said before that you don't see me applauding the fans when we win."

A confusing and contradicting statement, seen as he spent a few minutes just before that question blaming Windass (rightly so, but stil).

[matnab]

"Errrrr, they can vent their anger at me if they want as long as they dont blame the players, Errrrrr, I've said before that you don't see me applauding the fans when we win."


It's a fair do's statement. He doesn't like us and we don't like him.

I didn't go to the Crewe match, so I can't recall whether he applauds us or not!!!:)

[Northern]

I just don't think Todd gives a shite about this club at all! He doesn't show passion and although that isn't vital! But managers should care about the fans, the players do, the players applaud the fans when the fans have given them support and just for turning up! When the fans get behind the team and we win then Todd should coem on the pitch and applaud us, other managers do it all the time!

TO:

[Joe_Brett]

In black and white: TODD IS A JOKE, SACK HIM!!

[panther]

He doesnt applaud the fans when we win ??? wtf is that about ? when was the last time we won FFS - apart from the cup game I mean !!

I couldnt say whether he did or didn't but surely he should acknowledge them - I mean..... they do pay his wages dont they !!! or is it just me being blonde yet again!!

Talk about lack of man management skills - it would appear that the same goes for FAN Management skills as well !

[Joe_Brett]

Like i said TODD IS A JOKE! ;)

[Chasser]

I am sure Ive said in previous threads, that its time for Todd to go.
But after hearing his critism of city fans, this has just fuelled anger against him. Hats off to you all who spend your well earned money week in/out to support City, I think we have a reasonable squad,but we need some one with
passion at the Helm, Time for Todd to go now!!!

(Ive been on the scotch sinse mid day & my feelings are begining to flow;
FOR FCUK SAKE & THE SAKE OF BCFC MR RHODES, GET RID OFF TODD NOW!!!

[Dr Wisey]

are you coming up north again soon Chasser?

Has anyone seen Jacko's post match comments from yesterday. He accepted all the blame, he said he picks the team, and he was embarrassed with the performance. Love him or Hate him you have to give Jacko respect for knowing where the buck stops, unlike Todd.

[Chasser]

are you coming up north again soon Chasser?

hopefully during the xmas period (i'd be up every week if the missus would let me)

[Joe_Brett]

TIME TO GOOOOO.......TIME TO GOOOOO......TIME TO GOOO......TIME TO GOOOOOOOOO.....TIME TO GOOOOOOoooOOOo, FUCK OFF TODD!

[bg]

It was a poor interview; much like the performance. Windass needs to accept responsibility for that tackle; it was disgraceful.

Nevertheless once again we did not have a clue. Which for me is down to the the manager; there are ways and means of handling a team when you are down to 10 men, and especially at home!!

The ONLY time we looked a threat was when JJ and JB were up front together; JJ missed a pass, and he immediately asked JC to go and warm up. Bournemouth were a nothing side, but we managed to make them look really good.

Todd's carping at fans is also disgraceful. What really p'd me off was when he was verbally wriggling and loading it onto the players. He said ' the players are suprised at the fans reaction when we have a draw' What a weak man. If you want to have a go at the fans, then please stand up and show your face not hide behind the players. I imagine the players know full well why the fans are frustrated and angry and a draw at home, and I doubt very much whether the players will be going to him to ask the time of day!!!! It has now been three seasons we have had to put up with his excuses.

I can honestly say I have never felt like this before about a manager of our club. I don't want to go, and if I didn't have a season ticket I doubt I would be at VP. Seeing us huffing and puffing and trying to defend for 90 minutes at home and away is totally soul destroying. We are a one trick pony thanks to Mr Colin Todd.

[Jantje]

Fair comment Rick, i don't like Jacko but hats off to the bloke, he has the balls to take the flak & not divert it elsewhere
