'Norwich have done to us what we did to Oxford'

We asked you for your views on Liam Manning leaving his role as Bristol City's head coach to join Championship rivals Norwich City.

Thank you for all your replies and here is a selection of the thoughts of Robins fans...

Adam - Disappointed to lose him and felt we were starting to build something. Hope the likes of Jason Knight and Mark Sykes don't follow him out the door.

Joe - Good luck to him but not sad to see him go. His football was pretty stale - sideways and backwards. In the second leg of the play-offs at 3-0 down you would think he would put three up front and have a go! Rob Edwards to come in for me.

Harry - I think it's a mix of emotions for everyone involved. Last season was a complete rollercoaster, both on and off the field. I would've liked to see Manning have another season at it. However, I respect his decision and that of his family, and I'd like to thank him for all his hard work. He definitely brought belief and excitement back into the club.

Martyn - Can't complain as Norwich have done to us what we did to Oxford! Wish Liam all the best, especially after all he has been through this season.

James - The fact we've had our manager taken by a team that finished seven places below us is awful. The fact the Norwich board have managed to convince LM that he'll be better backed than he will be at City is disgraceful on our part.

Time for Lansdown to either put his hand in his pocket and really build around Jason Knight and the new manager or sell the club.

Jeremy - Personally, I've not got a problem with his departure as the hierarchy can't see his potential. They should have given him the financial backing needed to push on from a pretty good season.

He gave the club what they asked for but has been let down by them.

Next up? For me it has to be Gary O'Neil.

Simon - Can't blame him for leaving when you have an owner who won't give him a budget to move the team forward. He performed a miracle to get us into the play-offs. Norwich will back Manning and have a stronger squad and Manning knows that.
