Esmond Million's Bung Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 In the below link there are several articles about SL's circus, some we know like LJ's comical nomination for championship manager of the month FFS even the FL is taking the piss out of us. There is also a fact that the team who demolished our pussies on Tuesday have spent 250k on new players since the summer. And a cryptic quote from reporter Angus Scott about the running of the circus, with the promise to tell all when the time is right, whenever that might be. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-news-transfer-rumours-19067 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 He seems to love a cryptic tweet. Perhaps it's attention seeking. But he doesn't seem to have any courage himself to say anything of substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he doesn't seem to have any courage himself to say anything of substance. Why would Angus Scott need to do any attention seeking? Strikes me he is a passionate fan and like many of us want the best for our club, but he clearly has some serious concerns about those in power at the football club. And being well-connected in the football club he has obviously heard things to back up his tweets from credible sources. Fair play to him for tweeting what he has so far but I do hope he spills the beans, maybe come the end of the season. I suspect he is probably referring to interference in first team affairs from the boardroom and the reason LJ is still here is that he is a model 'yes man' and this works perfectly for the owner but we shall wait and see.

He tweeted something similar a few weeks ago too I suspect it's along the lines of what you said above, which is also what Flapper referred to as well. Smoke + fire = ?

We're all wasting our time and emotions getting excited about City being competitive in this division anytime soon, if what flapper/Angus Scott and others have alluded to is true. As for Premier League / Europe, I've accepted this is pure fantasy so long as SL remains at the helm. I just wish he and his managers would stop spouting this bollox.

The Europe League statement was such a dumb **** thing to come out with at a time when we were going well. I wonder if he even cringes when he thinks about it now, or whether on planet LJ (population 1, and dwindling) whether it's still possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old parkender Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Do we really need it spelling out for us? Steve and John Lansdown interfere with team matters, it's why cotterill got the bullet and why lee Johnson is still in a job. We won't get a decent manager until that situation changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had too many managers and all their associated personnel over the years for it not to have come out (save for some extremely high level comments from Flapper). Surely?!

old parkender Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 No he got the bullet because of a massive fall out with the Lansdowns over their interference in transfers and playing matters.

Fair play mate. It's not the first time it's come up obviously! Be good if someone would have the balls to do it properly but it'd have to be ultra watertight as has already been said.

Ska Junkie Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I can't see that he would break a confidence given how he makes a living. Nobody would tell him anything in future if he did. The guy's a staunch City fan though, seen him many times at games. Imagine being in his business and knowing something juicy and not being able to say anything, especially given the absolute car crash our cub has become? Must be seriously frustrating!

I'm calling BS. If he'd had a huge bust-up over transfers he'd have walked at the start of the season, not after playing the same failing formation for 6 bloody months. Do you think the Lansdowns told him to stick with his failing tactics? If so, why was Pemberton able to instantly change them and get more success. Criticise the board by all means but take off the rose-coloured specs regarding Cotterill's ability as a Championship manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a given that two of Cotts' more spiteful and less useful qualities are his stubbornness and petulance. He most likely stuck with his tactics out of principle. Something I could very much imagine Cotts' doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
