"So, this might not be the best time for his former club, Bristol City, the ones he guided to the play-offs last season, to come rolling into view. The Robins were enjoying life under new boss Gerhard Struber but a four-match winless run has somewhat put the brakes on. Manning can expect a hot reception from the travelling fans, having ditched them in the summer and, with home support already wavering, friends may be hard to find if there's another defeat."
""If we win games, the relationship with the fans is recoverable," Manning told BBC Radio Norfolk. "I had it early on at Bristol. Rightly, the fans are on us, we have to accept it, but the only way to change it is by delivering, and that's what I'm focusing on.""
"In case you wanted to mark it on your calendar, there is only one more international break until Christmas. After a second interruption, the Championship returns this weekend and there is a full programme in League One and League Two."
One more international break remains before Christmas and the Championship resumes after another interruption, with full League One and Two schedules. The Championship features Gary Rowett and Liam Manning derbies and a fixture over 130 years old. Luton begins Jack Wilshere's tenure in League One while League Two presents a major relegation battle. Liam Manning became the first Norwich-born Canaries boss but faces unrest after Norwich lost their opening four home league games and suffered a rare defeat to Ipswich. Manning said winning would repair relations with fans. Bristol City, his former club, approach amid their own winless run.
