Been there loads, top fellas but the link only involves a few hundred tbf. Dont forger Antwerp and Sparta Prague too.

Nails. RIP Dickie.

Are you on drugs? Really odd post.

Im not accepting it, so not renewing my SC. Not everyone is a lemming.

He could be playing in the old firm derby right now, but left the club who had developed him for years, presumably for the money. He left Glasgow Rangers not Accrington Stanley, so he has a very high opinion of himself. Harsh I know but I couldnt give a shit whether he makes it or not.

Very important for the top brass to finish higher in the table than where NP etc left us so I expect more of the same.

"He's one of our own, he's one of our own"... Oh hold on. What about a song for Dire then ?

He will profit greatly from real estate deals associated with the club.

Agreed on 2 years for James unless its one year with a trigger based on performances plus (surely) a wage cut.

Not all fans. Despite some recent performances, I thought Williams could go, King was patently not required, but James should be retained. What about you, think they should all go?

I wonder if its wages or the term sought? If the club wants him they will make it worth his while. Whether he wants to stay is of course pertinent too.

So possibly 9 points off the target set by his boss..... Hope someone pins the top brass down pre season on expectations and how they are going to reach them, as I think some SC sales may depend on that.

Heres the problem mate, we shouldn't take their statements with a pinch of salt. Zero confidence, zero trust in the club and I think im not alone in that view.

So...win all our remaining games to reach el supremo's target? Blimey. Manning will do very well to hit Pearsons projected 64 points imo.

What were the stated pre season expectations of the club, can anyone recall? I remember junior saying last year that the squad should be doing better. Presumably statements emanating from bcfc top brass have enough gravitas to in turn influence the expectations of mere fans? I do recall senior saying what the club earned it could spend hmm....

I would also imagine both recruit the very best they can in every position withinin the hierarchy (I know the top man is elected) I think this is where Lansdown has consistently deviated, never more so than right now. What other club in the champ would have a trio of junior, Tinnion, and Manning running things, with (apparently) jono's inept mates throughout the bs structure. Tinpot dictatorship .

Thanks.

Do you see evidence that Manning and Hogg are adopting the approach(es) outlined in your final paragraph ? Some of Mannings interviews appear to indicate that hes frustrated players dont "get it" .

Put on ignore then for your own wellbeing.

Bristol isnt as "creative" as some cheats who are generally one step ahead of the law. The cap isnt straightforward as you have exempt marquee players (was Piatau here for example), home gown also get some exemptions. 2 years ago Bristol forgot to terminate some contracts meaning they were stuck with unwanted players and had to then release internationals like Attwood, so the incompetence isnt confined to football. So far, fairly underwhelming incoming with much better going out. What is annoying is that the biggest clubs are held back by the cap so that teams drawing 5000 fans like Sale and Newcastle are on an even footing.

Relative to rugby, world class massive earners gone or going and replaced by cheap options. Dont anyone believe Lansdown treats rugby any differently.

Yes, and relatively light years ahead of their football counterparts.

Academic I know but it would be great to see in an alternative universe, what crowds the biggest clubs would get had they been as monumentally shite as we have been for the majority of our existence. Fickle my arse.

These "moaners" will most certainly be missed by Mr Nestegg, as a large percentage are long term ST holders. You carry on and good luck to you.

Was going to ask the same !
