NcnsBcfc Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 I don't expect miracles from Jon Lansdown. As there's obviously a reason his father has chosen not to have him involved in all his other businesses. However, knowing how tense everyone is about the new manager appointment; and when its going to happen etc; that was a poorly thought out tweet today from him. It would have helped of course, if he'd retweeted later as well; to say "nothing imminent etc". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 I'm totally chill about the whole tweet situation, and expected it, that's what he does. That being said, he is a total knob isn't he, I'm sure he likes to antagonise fans. Complete opposite of his father.

Self made billionaire > spoilt baby man How you can cast judgment on a person without having any interactions with that person? Just because he makes provocative tweets every once in a while! It's his way of having dialogue with fans. If it ain't your flavour fair enough but you're being a bit harsh. You just seem bitter yourself, his old man is loaded doesn't automatically make him a 'total knob' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Blimey, plenty bleat about getting zero info from the club at this time and then bleat when stuff is put out - albeit in the form of cryptic tweets - calm down, relax and wait for the announcement, it’s not that important anyway, the chosen one will be sacked in a couple of years ...

TRL Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 What did we do when appointing managers before social media? As far as i can see the only people making a song and dance out of not appointing a manager yet are some fans! The club have not made any statement as far as i can see through any official channels, so how the hell so many people are getting so worked up about names that have only been banded about by fans or the media is beyond me! Back in the real world, how long does it generally take to appoint someone into any role? not just a football manager if done correctly? well for 1 there would be the advert, then the the cv and sifting process, then the offer then at a minimum normally a 1 month resignation process, for more important jobs 3 months!

Some fans are willing to make demands on signing players, investment, their preferred manager, the timeframe in which they do it, the way in which they communicate it whilst showing no respect to the 100 million plus invested into our club. I really don't get why chairman do it, but I for one am grateful nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritAbroad Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 I saw the tweet, but didn't think anything was about to be imminently announced. He was just pointing out from the view the picture was taken from, nothing would be seen when they do. Doesn't mean something is imminent, right?

cidered abroad Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Normally I am up for a bit of banter in any situation. However on this occasion, it didn't seem right. LJ was appointed after apparently being the only candidate. This time, we are conducting an exercise in which everyone on earth is being considered. All this at a time while, I suspect, many City supporters are feeling quite disconnected from the club. We cannot attend games, meet friends and get a bit of excitement. We haven't had a peep out of the club since Johnson left and now Jon Lansdown goes on twitter with a scrap of humour. So, Jon L, get a move on with appointing a manager, give us some information to keep us involved. Without us, you would not have your plaything. Without us, the football club does not exist!

Being the son of someone who has achieved so much in life must be incredibly difficult. He may not have the same gifts as his father but it doesn't mean he has nothing to offer and its not his fault if he has been brought up with luxuries. I don't think the tweet was anything more than a bit of fun. Give the guy a break!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a grip some people! Back in my day lad if you wanted some gossip about an imminent decision you'd have to go on shanksi pony to Ashton Gate, drop a half penny or two to push through the crowd and get a sort of 2nd row view. The big Billy bollox would be darkening the view in front and to get in front of them you'd have to take a black eye or spit and polish his steel studded boots. Only then could you see the coming and goings into board room door. And hope to see new man. It took a full 4 hours to relay your gossip back to your town cryer.
