  1. Yes, and if we sustain good form and are in a similar position in January, it’ll be used as a reason to “go with what we’ve got” and avoid strengthening for a top 6 finish. Lansdown never mastered the art of the calculated gamble. It’s been mindless spending or extreme cuts. Deja vu.
  2. The talk of an imminent takeover or significant new investment is wishful thinking I’m afraid. Purely and simply, this latest C-level “restructure” at the club is more evidence of Steve Lansdown’s woeful approach to recruitment and retention. More haphazard cost-cutting and the promotion of underlings, yes men and Tins! Who’s in charge? Jon L’s meritless and talentless stewardship presumably holds this together in the absence of a proper CEO until it falls apart? Been here before with the Lansdowns and it’s tiresome. It always costs more money in the end. A proper CEO is needed. One that can drive revenue many more times the size of their salary. Not everyone can be a CEO, very few are capable and it takes someone special with excellent people skills and a strong network. It’s not an optional extra for a club which supposedly has aspirations of Premier League football!
  3. Israel is classed as a ‘flawed democracy’ by The Economist Democracy Index (between Portugal and the United States) but not for the reason you describe. All citizens, including Israel’s large Arab population, have the right to vote. Arab parties were in the shortlived coalition government before Netanyahu took control again.
  4. Yes, it’s still there. I saw it a few years ago. There is a “twin” plaque in the Centre, on one of the concrete benches, opposite the Bristol Hippodrome too.
  5. I found that part odd aswell, clearly said 9-10k arena?! Unless I have missed something, it would be less than half that size. Most odd. As for the general sentiment in this thread, I share it. WE WILL NOT PROGRESS WITH THE CURRENT OWNER. Lansdown, please, sell up and go.
  6. JET was one of a kind and imo can be considered a City legend. He wasn’t lazy on the pitch (although fair to say he could’ve achieved more in the game given his talent). When we were at our lowest ebb in recent history, under SOD, it was JET and Baldock that scored most of our goals to keep us out of League 2.
  7. If Steve L still cares for the future of Bristol City he will sell to responsible new owners.
  8. The Bristol Beacon refurb cost more than double!
  9. Exactly. This is a huge net win for the Indian economy.
  10. Cheung’s in Brislington is amazing and delivers Bristol-wide on the Deliveroo app. Give it a try ?
  11. Scott signing a new contract at City on terms we could afford is a total non-starter. He's off. Most likely end of this window. Signing on better terms would price out suitors so not in Scott's interest. And that's why he hasn't accepted the improved deal that has been on the table for months.
  12. SAF also picked his son to be fair!
  13. Very enjoyable and emotional listen with all the surprise guests. Good luck Geoff
  14. There is too much cautiousness and lack of hope in the above. We’ve never been a very successful club and our top flight days are way in the past, but our history doesn’t define us. Playoffs should be a minimum goal.
