Shuffle Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Been going for 45 years and IMO this is the clubs worst season. I appreciate we've been in lower leagues and been relegated before and 82 was depressing. This year we have spent £15m, have a fantastic stadium creating the revenue stream we need and a great start. In addition we have 18k supporters and with all this in place you can only call this season a disaster. Only at Bristol City can we get it so wrong and turn so many positives into abject failure. Ultimately, Lansdown is to blame by allowing this to drag on but LJ is without doubt completely incompetent and the phrase " that nobody is hurting more than me" wants me hire a hit man. I will be back next season(not 18k will) because it's been my passion and always been proud to call City my club. This season has left me embarrassed and angry but only one man can change the situation but he won't ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Notgetinya Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Nobody's doing anything though, 2 lines of 'we want Johnson out' won't do it. What we need to do is all turn our backs (let's say 34th minute for total number of accumulated points) but Ashton gate is so devoid of atmosphere it'll be a struggle to make it happen. We need the atyeo to lead the charge and hope everyone else joins in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm not going early bird that's for sure. I want to know which players are going to be out there, survive or not. I know a fraction of what I pay covers their wages, but there's some players I wouldn't even give that 20p towards. If we don't shift what needs shifting I'm staying away.

I have been supporting for over 40 years myself and at least we had an excuse to be bad in the early 80's, but there is no excuse for this utter carnage willed on by those behind the scenes. To me it feels like they have asked Gasheads to run the club into the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Maybe we should turn our attention to the players. Are they fit to wear the shirt? Good job the clubs existence doesn't rest with this lot . Worst team/ squad I've seen in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow we have managed to assemble a squad with no fighters at all, there are players out there with less talent but more heart and grit than most of our current lot, and at this level you often need the later to grind out results as there are so many fixtures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I've supported City for almost 40 years. I won't be going until things improve. I've never been so bored and angry.

ashton_fan Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I've seen a lot worse than this season, when we went straight down from Div 1 to 4 for example.

The one I most agree with is Reid. It's a shame he can't go before summer. He thinks he's better than he is and it shows. He makes terrible decisions, thinking that he can do things that other players can do. He can't, because he doesn't have the skill level or intelligence to do them. Because he's shit.

I think the point is we didn't have the richest English man in football in charge of the club like we have for the last 10 years. Pitiful state of affairs really.

054123 Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm saying that all things considered it is yes. You're saying that you've seen worst football played over the course of the season and I don't dispute that, but when the club has been on the brink and has no players, it's kind of understandable. This is unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He strings 5 or 6 well timed good performances a season which makes you think hmm maybe he's worth persevering with. He's old enough to be thought of as ugly enough. This lad is bloody ugly as a footballer. Bin him off. I actually think he'll stay at this level and do well, not with us though. Get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianconeri Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 In 1980-81 we were relegated from old division 2 with 30 points (2 points for a win). We scored 29 goals. That was a toothless shambles of a team in terminal decline. Is this as bad? I know I can't be arsed to spend good money travelling to find out these days.

As we are all realising, it is when you've got a local billionaire owner. The club in the early 80s lived hand to mouth. This is quite simply unreal.

No. not really. We've had seasons when we've had more embarrassing defeats and thrashings, seasons we've never got out the relegation zone and didn't even have one "good patch" - and we've also had Tony Pulis. To my mind, the McInnes/SOD season was worse than this. In terms of "he's spent more money" then yes, but he only spent what was earned. And he had to flesh out a skeleton-thin squad. Plus football is more expensive to compete in now and you cannot compare LJ's budget with managers in years gone by. The three big relegated clubs got £40m each in parachute payments, and they weren't the only ones coining it in. Yes it's been shyte. Yes it's farcical and needn't have happened, and yes it feels awful because of the early promise and optimism. But there have been worse. It just feels worse because it's now and ongoing, with LJ still employed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct...I think I recall optimism at the beginning of that season...and despair when a decent result at Cardiff meant nothing as other results as good as had us relegated...I spent my first wage packet on a trip to Carlisle in the cup that year... However, for me, this is worse, we've been building a team this season, not seeing one fall apart...for me there is no excuse...it's been a managerial catastrophe.
