Septic Peg Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Who's SL? I've forgotten. Sorry, that was lame... And FWIW, I don't think SL is in the same league as the Venkys or the Oystons. SL might be stubborn but he puts his money where his mouth is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman Mao Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Bristol City, Steve Lansdown (2000-) Few owners can be regarded worse than Steve Lansdown, who took control of the club when it was in League One. Since then City have established themselves as a Championship side, abit struggling at the wrong end of the table. £48m of investment has seen a redeveloped stadium with increased capacity and facilities. The training ground has also been done up and under Lansdowns tenure the club won their first league trophy in over 50 years as well as making it to their highest league position since the 79s under Gary Johnson. Yep, belongs in that list.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So apart from covering losses of £50m +, funding the stadium redevelopment of £48m, overseeing the club winning the first league trophy ever and their highest league position since the late 70s, just what has Steve Lansdown done for us?

City fan 1982 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Rather than pick the chairmans fancy, regardless that the current. Boss has lack of championship experience , and is tactically incompetent , I think one of the fans tea and. Biscuit groups scat or the trust should have a say in choosing a. Boss. To see if fans are broadly supportive of a new appointment . Although this does sound like a mike parry idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
