Londoner Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 10k is not enough, if we want to ensure survival double it and get some proven championship quality in....whether they want to join or not, higher wages will make a difference we will never be an established championship side if we cannot attract decent players at this level. on another note, Cotts had no plan B at forest or Pompey...same coming into effect now. it will be no good leaving it too late...Ayling, freeman etc....far from convincing st this level.

Keep Mark in catering, and Aizoon can sell the tickets as he's got nothing better to do in the week. Uncle TFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRedRobin Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Everyone is mentioning about the 10k wage limit but is it actually true?? If it is why the **** were we trying to sign players like Andre Gray and Dwight Gayle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said at the end of last season we would be heavily reliant on loans....he was spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert tann Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Keith Dawe, Jon Lansdown, Doug Harman and Keith Burt. Are this group capable of getting the best out of ANY manager ? Would any of them be considered good enough for a senior position at Hargreaves Lansdown ? Steve Cotterill is not being managed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 No, we must stick to the plan on being tight fisted and managing the club properly. While the club is still losing millions every year and 13 year olds are still paying a minimum of £18 then no more money should be spent on players above the set limit.

Chairman Mao Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Quite an irony Steve Lansdown runs on of the most successful businesses in Europe, and one of the greatest British success stories in the last two decades with HL now worth around £6bn and his own fortune enough to see him in Forbes. Yet when it comes to Bristol City he doesn't know his arse from his elbow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbored Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Perhaps I will be controversial and say that possibly its Lansdown that's the problem. We aren't no better off than when he turned up , possibly worse as we now don't even own the stadium. Does he stick his oar in too much or does he just employ all the wrong people who don't really know anything about football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yes lets pay silly wages for average players, after all that worked so well last time we were in the Championship... oh... wait a minute... no it didn't. Point is at start of the summer, Cotts, Bert & Co new the wage structure we were trying to operate it and I'm sure there were players available that would have improved our squad within that budget... take Clucas from Chesterfield for example, who Hull snapped up. Tavernier should have been a no-brainer to sign up too, with Little's injury. Without doubt we now need to strengthen in Jan to avoid going down, just not sure players will want to come here and play for Cotts tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Anyone else hear the post match caller on RB who shared a cab to the ground. For Fulham game with a Burnley scout - stated scout told him Baker was costing us 40k a week taking into account loan fee and wages - said our chairman is spending the money but players don't want to come to us it's been said before - before all the 'Everything is great suspects' had a coronary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I take my share of responsibility but so must Stephen Lansdown. For many a season now I've felt the BCFC managers are working in a vacuum and there is a need for a strong character who can get the best out of the managers and drive them to optimum performance. The summer transfer policy was much too wishy washy and the excuses trotted out were totally unconvincing. Burt and Pelling were not up to the job and Steve Cotterill needs to be working alongside a chief executive who leads him and inspires him with confidence. The outbursts we hear on Radio Bristol are clear evidence that he needs help to make the step up to Championship class and my guess is he knows it too. These corporate types like Andrew Billingham and Martin Griffiths have impressive profiles but they seem to be leaving Steve Cotterill, by far the most important manager in their group of companies, to flounder .
