Wouldn’t you be embarrassed as city have always been the number 1 club in Bristol for many years and the gas over the other side of bristol not even in the football league not so many years ago.

If that’s not a good enough answer I do not know what is Sorry mate, no it isn’t a good answer. 1) Even if the Gas were to get promoted we’d still be the ‘number 1’ club in Bristol. 2) Anyone can get promoted. Getting prompted is one thing, sustaining Championship football is another thing and I don’t believe for one second that their owners want to spend the money needed to make them competitive. 3) In 2013 Yeovil leapfrogged is into the Championship whilst we were relegated back to L1, arguably a far more ‘embarrassing’ situation. Somehow I managed to survive that shame. 4) Burton and Luton have been Non League in the last 10 years and we’ve played them on an even footing in the Championship in recent years. I get very quickly bored of Sagheads telling me that we should feel embarrassed because we’re only 10/15/20 League places above them etc as if they’re proud to be SHIT. If they get promoted it is not embarrassing for us, no more so than any other L1 team getting promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be good for Bristol football but a bit embarrassing for City. Rovers are continuing to do well and we are continually slipping. At least you get what I was trying to say.

mattjb Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 5 hours ago, wood_red said: They will do well to finish in the top half imo. Manager looks like he's gone (and if he isn't he has probably upset the board anyway, and that relationship has gone sour), main striker will be gone in January, I would bet good money they will not spend anything in January even if they get good money for Harris. If a new manager comes in he will not be given anything either unless they ship players out. They haven't got a pot to pee in, but if the unthinkable did happen and they managed to go up it they would go straight back down - and would get them in even more debt. Imagine Wally realising the players have watertight contracts and they all get huge pay rises for promotion..... I was wondering if maybe their owners realise going up could cost them more money that they've had a little word with the cockman about maybe doing not so well in future! Could be why he's so upset but surely even the gas wouldn't do something like that would they?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 How funny would that be if he goes to mansfield. If he thinks he will get any money for signings out of that lot in the window good luck to him. The way he was talking on the news i reckon hes off.
