Benjam!n Ultra Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 He said in his Bristol Sport (catalogue of successful teams) breakfast that if relegation occured we'd all come back when we are at the top. The moron has forgotten that Bristol City is a proud club and that LJ's highest finish in the league below (forgetting he's thick as ****) is 11th. We're actually sleepwalking into a L1 nightmare and he's happy to let that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recoup a bit in fees, although obviously less than paid, and s smaller wage bill. And then I guess SL's assumption is that we will just cruise back to the top of League 1 and the crowds will flock back. That's not exactly what happened last time we went down. As I recall we were nearly 3 months into the season before we managed a win! No reason to suggest we would find it any easier next time, with a new team having to be put together from scratch... especially if LJ is still in charge!

KeepUpLino Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 IMHO SL is fully responsible for this seasons shambles, I actually feel a little sorry for LJ.. has any other manager been allowed to just go on and on losing games without reprisal... should have been put out of his misery in December... One consistently with our club... failure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumRed Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I hope SL does read this forum as he said, the fans disagreeing with a manager is one thing, the owner something VERY, VERY different. It feels like we're getting to that point and I think relegation would be disastrous for the SL fan relationship. Relegation is something that happens and I'm sure we all accept that, but the manner of the relegation smacks of either incompetence or arrogance. That will not be forgiven.

Absolutely nothing to do with not caring. I suspect there may have been attempts to recruit a replacement going on in the background that are either ongoing, or failed to materialise.

There are more grown up ways to debate with people. Im grateful for all Lansdown has done for us off the field, but we are plummeting backwards on it. Compare him to the likes of Hew Jenkins and Tony Bloom who have operated within similar budgets and he has been an utter failure. Its about time he took some criticism for his decision making because we the fans are the ones that have to bear the brunt of it with week after week of rubbish football.

I've always considered SL as caring passionately about this club but he's let this farce continue to such an extent that I'm beginning to wonder whats on his mind. Is he happy now that he's got the Bristol Sport model up and running? Maybe he should come out and explain to us why he's sticking with a man who is taking us straight to League 1 and why he thinks its good for the club, rather than just blaming the fans? Some of us dedicate all their free time to this club and deserve a real answer as to why they have to continually watch absolute garbage whilst our owner sits back and does nothing about it.

WessexPest Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Lansdown does seem indifferent to our plight in that he's the one man in a position to pull some levers to try to change it and he's choosing not to do it. He exhibits a clueless mentality when it comes to ownership of a football club. He's portrayed as a billionaire benefactor with the City crest stamped through his DNA but he's really just another in a long line of club owners whose attitude is "it's my club and I'll do what I want with it." Lansdown needs to think long and hard about whether he's acting in the best long-term interests of the club. If not, then he needs to make way for someone who will.

Steve Lansdown has cultivated the regular guy persona, even though he is phenomenally wealthy. I think he has a colossal ego, and can`t bear to be proved wrong. This muddle headed intransigence will see us relegated, and I believe he would earn far more respect from fans if he was a tad more humble, and a tad more clear headed. There may be just enough time to save the day, but not if he prevaricates. I am not especially hopeful that he will act in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Notgetinya Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have much respect for SL but felt somewhat irked when he suggested that the fans shouldn't voice their opinions during the Fulham game. I travel 4 hours each way (not to mention petrol/food/ticket costs etc) to watch the crap currently being served up and I'll voice my opinion if I want to. I'm seriously considering calling it a day for the season, I mean what would you do if you were me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpexile Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Of course he cares but like LJ he totally out of his depth when it comes to making sound football decisions. SL has shown incredible passion/love for this club but he has to hand the football decisions over to people who can deal with them, there's no other option, end of story .
