So don't anticipate hearing the full story from Adam as his hands will be tied. And maybe a clause not allowing him to confirm or deny if there is a clause.

This looks like a ridiculous decision to me, but those who think it then gives them licence to smear individuals and make childish comments better be able to back them up or realise they could face legal action. I quite enjoyed reading them. And having seen a certain man in action I can quite imagine what he gets upto, with whom and why. He’s one of a few new duckers on the block who are riding the greasy pole and taking true supporters of BCFC for a ride. How I long for the days of Terry Cooper and Big Joe. Seems like a dream now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMV he is not in this for a return on his investment but wants to create a sporting legacy in Bristol that will live on beyond him. The trouble is, his vision of a sporting empire involves things being created along much more corporate lines than any of us normal people would like, hence some of the crazy sackings and hirings when taken at face value. I suspect that in the murky management world they make perfect sense. In the words of the great John Lydon, I maybe wrong, I maybe right. All I do know is that when the 3 kiddos stand in front of their plaque on the statue to the truly great John - and when the likes of the Ls and As have long gone and I’m dust in an urn - they’ll say to themselves “Christ our old dad. Didn’t he ever go on”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess someone from BS will be taking over his position, but if the job was made redundant they can’t can they, not in the exact same role? Simply re-badge it, done all the time.

Kevin Smith was just some overweight no mark who did eff all down there as well, before he left after they’d found out he did eff all of any use.

BCFC Jimmer Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I don't really understand the outrage. All modern companies are ran like this nowadays. The club has absolutely no obligation to show sentiment and if they think they can save money by making Adams position vacant they have every right to do so. It happens in every walk of life, Adam may find another wonderful opportunity off the back of this, good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you're happy with supporting a 'company' rather than a 'club'. Anyway I'm off to get my Glaxosmithkline scarf and watch their live shareprice... Come on the GSKs!

Was about to say much the same- all very well for businesses and though clubs are businesses too in many ways, it's good to keep some roots, some of the pre Bristol sport in good positions. No real reason to get rid either- he's good at his job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
