Cider red Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Piss poor football decisions, millions spent, appointing yes men, when he took over we were a yo-yo division 2 /3 club. Bar the stadium we are no better off 15 years later. Time to sell up to someone who has the heart to make proper decisions and take this club forward. Taking our support for granted this season and giving loyal supporters the middle finger in keeping johnson has tipped a lot of fans over the edge....never mind johnson out, landowns out and take your BS with You!

Bat Fastard Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Be careful what you wish for! Steve saved and rebuilt the whole club and set up the infrastructure to help secure our future. His project is still (roughly) on track and he has the financial muscle to shrug off temporary problems. Unlike many on here - he can count!!

Garbage. when Lansdown began his dictatorship we had a £10m positive balance sheet with an undervalued asset in Ashton Gate and plans with Football Trust funding to redevelop into a 30,000 stadium. All self financed by our own football club, not a rich individual taking over our football club. Anyone that thinks a city the size of Bristol couldn't find somebody to do a better job is a little bit dim, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just carry on though being taken for a mug .

Would rather have Laycock and us being self sustainable to be frankly honest, with proper management if Burnley did it why cant we? Completely lost some of our identity this season, and we fans have been treated like neanderthals by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going to say this before bowing out, as I know emotions are rightly running high. Heck, I share a lot of them. However, whatever I think of SLs calls this year in relation to LJ, one thing I just do not believe is over his time here is that he has been in it for the money.

He stood on the Tote a few times. Then drifted away from football, lost interest. Like a lot of people that stood on the Tote. Steve likes cricket, I think? Jon is a City fan, though. He is one of our, er, own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPLEY RED Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hardly a requirement just look at the top clubs - Man City were crap until they got a billionaire owner, Chelsea average until they got a billionaire owner, Arsenal Billionaire owners, Man Utd billionaire owners. Do any of the above abide by FFP - no they get round it by fancy sponsorship deals. There are clubs who do it on a shoe string but they are very much the exception. Without a rich owner how would we make the signings the fans expect and even afford to sack the manger every year and don't say we wouldn't need to because SL would hire most clubs at our level sack the manager every couple of years and who funds that.

The millions spent is his own money. He's recognised in football as one of the best owners and there are plenty of bad ones who wreck clubs. I do wonder sometimes if these comments asking him to go come from true BCFC fans or whether it's those who want us to fail, ie the blue few.

robin_unreliant Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Have to say I really enjoy walking down to AG and surveying our new ground with pride. Sat in my seat in the Dolman I gaze around at the new stands and our lovely pitch and thank SL for everything he has done for us. Unfortunately, the team then comes out onto the pitch and my good mood is ruined shortly afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
