CyderInACan Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 A subtle dig at LJ or the genuine thoughts of a real fan? I guess he is saying he wants us to really go for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Definitely not a dig imo. It’s not his style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Don’t see that as a dig at all myself. I see it more as a “okay, disappointing we lost but let’s beat Derby and get back on track”. Which is probably what we all think more or less.

BS4 on Tour... Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I noticed from their tweeted videos that he’s always in the Bears’ dressing room after they win joining in with the Wurzel singalongs - do you think he celebrates with our boys after a victory in the same way?

steveybadger Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 If he had said 'disappointed and not good enough' it would've been the dumbest thing ever, simply piling more pressure on the team ahead of Saturday. But he didn't - he's just disappointed about it like everyone else on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 The bloke is awesome. Someone tweeted you get what you pay for. Not yet I would say, 100m plus is quite an investment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 It’s a good tweet - shows there is rightly still pressure on LJ to deliver what we are aiming for (PL) but doing it more sustainably than many others. But also looking for everyone to get behind club for last 3 games. Would be amazing for him to get that prize after his investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardy Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 If SL genuinely believes that he has backed LJ & the team sufficiently to warrant a Playoff place then he is having a laugh. If we make it it will because of LJ & despite lack of investment in key areas (again). I have a theory that SL doesn’t want promotion because ultimately the current BCFC story of progression is based largely on the ‘dream’ of Premier League football one day. As soon as that happens the 40 year dream is over & reality strikes which will bring a whole new level of risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Nothing to read into that. I'm sure he thinks we've done really well this season to be 3 left and in with a shout, even if it's gonna be tough. I agree with him , if that's the case.

Steve Lansdown desperately craves Premier League status for Bristol City. And City rank at the top of his priorities above the rugby club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it’s a morale boost for the players to see the owner taking an interest in both City and the Bears? Nothing worse Imv than having an owner who nobody sees.

Players shouldn't give a shit about someone who doesn't (hopefully) have an input on team selection or player recruitment. A rallying call from someone who knows fuckall about the game is cringeworthy. SL has been great for City and the rugby club but should in my opinion stay away from dressing rooms.

RedM Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I don’t think it’s a dig, but it’s a reminder to LJ that there are only three games left and he’s cutting it fine. Not for one minute do I think LJ is in danger of losing his job, but I will be interested to see if there is a similar interview on the last home game of the season. A year ago SL said there would probably be players leaving in the summer which might prove unpopular ( I think it was at the time but we’ve all got over that now, the only thing I miss are Reid’s goals) and he expected us to finish higher this year, which certainly looks possible. An amazing achievement really when you think of the three players sold. As I said, I wonder what the expectation will be next season? I really don’t think the playoffs have been ours for a while, heart still hopes whist sensible head told me a month os so ago it wasn’t to be. So to finish higher would certainly be playoffs at the minimum. I think that’s pretty much our level, top end Championship team, occasional flirt with the playoffs to seem like we are interested. Unless we suddenly unearth a bit more quality or one of our ones for the future finally matures I think that’s what we will be looking at for the next couple of years. We won’t suddenly be spending millions, and the unfairness of parachute teams will surround us again, not that money always works. We almost got a decent team, just not quite. It will be an interesting window once again, especially with the Chelsea loans going back, and three players is a lot to have to replace on top of any we might sell.

Kid in the Riot Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Amazing that a Grammar school educated, self-made billionaire can't even be arsed to use capital letters but hey ho. The most interesting thing about this tweet is the timing, given he hardly ever tweets, why now after a couple of iffy results? I agree it does point to him upping the ante on LJ and the players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
