It has come to light that Bristol City may be the first football club in history to sell one of the players that some fans would like to keep. The same players that get regularly slated after any below par performance. It is unlikely that Bristol City will replace any of the departing players and may, at times, compete the 2018/19 Championship season’s matches with less than the permitted 11 players. This new policy is the recommendation of chief executive Mark Ashton and Head Coach Lee Johnson. Blame will be attributed elsewhere, temporarily, should transfer dealings result in a promotion push next season, but quickly revert to type the moment that they lose a game or 2. There may be an altogether different plan, but “supporters” on club forum “otib” will opt to ignore that and chose not to wait for the facts, before starting a witch hunt. I can’t wait for the further progress and development of the squad next year. Exciting times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised if it was much more than a million, with only a year left on his contract. That would be pretty poor business really. Maybe Baker gets sold as well. Another one who isnt one of Johnson's favourites I reckon. City would be down right idiotic to let Pack go for less than £3m. I cant Baker going anywhere either. It was LJ who signed Baker..

Prior to this season bang average and many on OTIB wanted him gone. Can he produce the same form next season? I’d like him to stay but if the right offer came in from the right club then we would be wise to let him move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldock joined when we were in the Championship and was 2nd top scorer with 10 (12-13) Did manage 20+ the following year. Wilbs was a lucky holiday meeting. Kodjia , yep Tammy , yep Bobby had been with the club and LJ took a punt, FD was the striker scouted. Do you really believe that Cotts only signed Wilbs because he “bumped into him on holiday”. Wow. Irritating that we have had 5 consecutive 20 goals a season strikers when it doesn’t fit your agenda, isn’t it? Baldock aside (bought at a Championship price, so no real achievement for him to get goals in League One) I’d argue we have got the other 4 very right. Far easier targets to criticise in our recruitment than these.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Couldn't win once he got asked the question, answers honestly gets criticised for saying the likely truth before the end of the season, if he'd dodged the question some would have have vocally criticised him for dodging hard questions.

Ivorguy Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Let's hope someone, anyone at Ashton Gate knows what they are doing in terms of serious recruitment, otherwise this time next year I fear LJ will be saying, 'Going back to league 1 will give us a great opportunity to rebuild and take us to where we want to be. I believe Engvall and Diony will be a strike force to be reckoned with in league 1'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken George Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 If we lose Bryan & Reid for big money then isn’t that what the academy is for? School them, play them, sell them? To be honest, Bryan is shit and I for one hope he goes. Reid has had one good season in 7 years. He’s been great, don’t get me wrong, but will he do this again next year? If we can get over £10m for the pair of them then it justifies the academy. Not sure what the big beef is here. Our players who attracted interest in our successful half season will have suitors. All clubs are selling clubs except perhaps Man C & Barca. The problem is getting replacements in, with which, based on his recruitment strategy so far, I don’t trust Mark Ashton one iota.
