Ticky2 Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Just a thought and I’ll throw it out there. It seems very odd that we’ve heard nothing at all from the powers that be at Ashton Gate, not even an update saying please bear with us. What if we have been bought and new owners plus a new manager are to be announced together? We’ve moved from Bristol Sport and gone to Hummel (Umbro for Rugby), the Lady’s team has moved to Twerton Park and the season is close to restarting again.

extonsred Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Fertile ground for all sorts of fantasies - like mine earlier - foreign manager lined up but delayed due to obtaining work permit through Brexit process n into next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Northski Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Perhaps they've got it all sorted and everyone's decided to go off on holiday before anything gets announced. Clutching at straws somewhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTonyTony Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Lansdown is trolling us. He is reading all these pity threads in his hot tub in Guernsey and laughing his cock off.

Nugget Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 During Coppell’s short time with the club & it has been well publicised he had some issues with similar goings on at other clubs like Man City. Do you think he was not fully aware of the input from those above, the David James signing for example may have put his nose out of joint & thought bugger this & walked?

However, I don’t know why anyone would think the club should come out with a statement saying ‘please bear with us’! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosey Boy Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Agree with OP - the last five weeks have been an absolute shambles. Not only do we not have a new HC but our preparations for the new season (signings/contracts etc) will have been impacted too. If it ends up being DH, I cannot wait to hear the rationale - just hope MA/SL are both honest but sense we’ll be spun a load of codswallop!

Mad Cyril Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 If you mean the club arent publishing the interview notes with us before telling the applicants, or before getting an firm accept from the best candidate, you have a point. Secret, dodgy goings on for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 2 hours ago, Fjmcity said: Maybe the club could have this on the homepage of the website while we wait This has always wound me up. When playing noughts and crosses, the centre square is always the move. Yet, they’re two moves in and neither the clown or the girl have taken advantage. In fact, they’re both playing in immediately adjacent areas of the grid and stalemate is already a given. Someone needs to have a word on the tactics here.
