Full nelson Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 He's just a lick ass, jobs worth with no spine!! We've all heard the little balls question in interviews with no tough questions to follow up on when given a BullS't answer. People like him are loved through out BS. Nod and keep quiet.

The Journalist Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Some of this stuff is becoming truly ridiculous now. If the players lost their heads during the second half last night, a few fans on here have sadly done the same today. Hold people at the top to account, by all means, but digging at members of staff behind the scenes as well? Sorry, too much. He's a man doing a job to provide for his family; nothing more, nothing less. And the FLO role? As someone else put so eloquently - an absolute hospital pass.

The Fat Controller Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just now, CotswoldRed said: I think you need to understand which preceded the other. You can't blame fans for thinking he's completely useless when he's been completely useless. This thread is a symptom of a long period of uselessness and not a reason for excuses. Regardless, some of the comments here are offensive (I don't mean from you). He might very well be useless at the role and people should feel free to debate that but offensive personal comments are unnecessary and, if it were me, would not induce me to respond to the well reasoned and worded opening post.

We'll have to agree to disagree if you think personal insults including "ass licker" are acceptable. It's one thing to criticise the product and another to personally criticise a man doing a job. That's bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he wants to say that! He shouldn't be FLO, for sure. I totally get that, and I think the club have treated fans with utter disdain to give that role to a club employee.

I get what your saying and yes personal I suits arnt on but he could come on here and say something like I've read what you guys are saying will take it to the club and will answer whe I get some answers.

Northern Red Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Ah, it's Adam's turn tonight then? I'm sure there's plenty he'd like to say but I'm equally sure he values his job too.

The Journalist Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 One final thought as I go to pick up our toys - please remember that we do all want the same thing, right? And, you know what, I guarantee you Adam will want the same thing too. I promise you that's the case. Sadly, like Adam, how that gets fixed is out of all our control. Some people, like Ole, articulate what they see and feel brilliantly, making it all make sense for the rest of us. Others, of course, aren't able to do that quite so well and just end up misdirecting anger at all the wrong people. What links us, though, is that we do fundamentally all want the same thing. The problem is - who knew having a less rubbish football team to support was too much to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I don't think Adam was given much of a choice about the FLO role to be fair. I think he was told "you're doing it" which makes me very suspicious of the Lansdown clan's intentions in regard to serious supporter consultation. It's really quite worrying.

You were happy enough to produce videos praising all and sundry and patting yourselves on the back after the 4-0 win. We deserve to hear something now also. Thank you.

Well Es, I don't know if i'm even on the right thread but here goes. Bla,bla, bla. Or not everything sounds the same at the moment. The quiet is deafening. Don't want to say how long the City have been important in my life, but it's a day or two. Last nights game was the first time I had ever wanted a team to do us by 6.or 7. But the biggest worry is as you know the man is taking us into the abiss. And **** me it will take many a year to recover, if ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
