Aipearcey Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Who was responsible for the balls ups regarding the transfer market this summer? Why go out trying to sign players that even us fans could clearly see were way above us? Why sign players then within months they gone again? Why bring in so many loan signing then only give a few of them minimal time on the pitch, if they weren't any better than the already failing team why bring them in? We're the club hoping to get lucky this season because most of us fans could see this coming in the middle of August? And whoever is responsible needs to start taking responsibility!

bristolcitysweden Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 John Pelling, OAP Burt and Steve Cotterill having zero knowledge about the cost for strenghtening the team set up a co-co land budget that in the end pissed SL off. http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/pelling-leaves-city-post-2681803.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had performed this role at other clubs so for you to say he wasn't a football man is inaccurate in your context. If you had said he was incompetent, largely responsible for our current mess and had been rightly axed as a result then I would heartily agree.

Its relevant 'today' because it was an appalling result to go along with an appalling performance... players look out of their depth plus we rode our luck alot against Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Whoever is responsible the momentum of last season has been wasted, most clubs when moving into a new stadium or improving their facilities try to do so with a bit of momentum to increase attendances. As it stands the best we can achieve is the excitement of just staying up, watching the rugby on TV last night was perhaps a hint of what a 27k Ashton Gate will look like. Also, Bristol Rugby were stated as having a squad of 55 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what did you expect from this season, just look at Preston & MK to see the gulf in class between the 2 divisions, we drew with Hull last week, a team that got £66 milllon for being relegated from the Prem ....Get real m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderup Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 All bickering aside, how do the club make sure we don't cock up in January as we did last summer? Pelling apart, we have the same people do we not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Doozerchris I expected my club to have realistic targets, based on the budget we had. Is there really not one player in L1 who could have met this criteria, especially when you consider that we bid millions of pounds on players. A wasted opportunity.

Northern Red Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 It is something that needs explaining, and properly too. However some posts on this thread are absolutely right - this topic, along with Cotterill's future, JET leaving etc only ever rear their head when we have a poor result. When we don't then there's not a peep about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Cotts thought last season would miraculously make us the most attractive team to join in the country. Had crazy transfer targets (Gayle and Gray were the two that were made public to start a bidding war but there were others), got pissed off with people when they wouldn't join. Then the window shut.

Tall King Blox Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 we lost a game of football, we seem to have other games coming up that we might not loose, then again we might not win either! Where's the problem ! My slant is people take football far too seriously......look after your hearts n lungs n balls.......the rest is a walk in the park.,...x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
