Yeah and as I recall the club forgot to offer terms in time to maximise the fee.

He owed the club nothing imo. Even "legends like Carey and Murray left the club at the time.

Or a consultant perhaps. Hed need people around him he trusted.

Troubleshooter in and out perhaps. You could see him overseeing the whole football set up of a club but he doesnt seem to gell with boards

The Lansdowns (senior) being the cause of that deficit and due to the association with BCFC will recoup much of those losses via property development. Maybe the forecasted revenue from that tells Lansdown he doesnt need to spend on the football club.

Didnt see that interview, hope he gets back in so can definitely see that.

On JLs radar.

You reckon Nige will be back in that game? If so his esteem of AK is clear . Maybe not Assistant but definitely in the set up.

Rugby doing ok at the moment so Sir Steve thinks so.

Dunno but you can still put a shift in.

Tbf that would horrify most gasheads im sure.

Interesting thing though, feel for the team getting battered but if there was investment none of them I guess would be anywhere near playing? Chance to play at the highest level and put themselves in the shop window so not all bad for the players maybe.

That is bollocks

Agreed. Lost interest but massive egos wont let them sell up and lose the odd tens of millions Irony being, if Lansdown senior ran it like a business not a plaything hed get everything back and more imo. Makes me think hes the Andrew Ridgely of the relationship with Mr Hargreaves.

Existing owners can be very bad news too.

Who in their right mind would pour millions into the club to be a junior partner to Lansdown ?

Agreed mate.

Not talking about a management role. I imagine he has made some very good contacts and can see him in an assistant coaching role somewhere.

Agreed. Reckon hed love a role here under different circumstances.

Sorry mate posted before I read this. Spot on.

Whats awkward is comparing the performance of two managers who operated in different divisions....

I suspect he has options that are more attractive tbh at present.

Perhaps they are bucking the trend and think womens football isnt worth the effort? Thats the only explanation I can think of .

100%

Ignoring the partisan positions on otib, who in the broader football world would mention Tinnion in a comparative exercise with Nigel Pearson. City in a nutshell.
