Atticus Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Speak with your wallet. Dont give them any of your own hard earned money. The club doesnt deserve it. They are treating us like mugs. Their are people higher up that are so egotistical, they would rather risk the clubs league standing then give up any control they really should not have over the footballing side. Some people may accept that, but nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJS Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 What I am finding hard now is how to support and give money to a club that clearly doesn’t want the best for the club. It’s all about the f——ing money. What a joke. This is the first time since supporting the club I’ve had any doubt about supporting the club.

Complete shambles of a process to recruit a new manager. Abslolutely so. Complete farce of a biz IMO. Fans taken as muppets. Can't deny that one. But if I didn't agree, I should be allowed to say so without getting a crockload of obscene abuse. And frankly, if everyone who thinks anyone who disagrees with them should **** off, decides to throw their season cards out of the cot, that's fine by me. Those of us who don't, those of us who'd much rather have Hughton or Cook but face up to the facts and keep on supporting the club however much our piss is boiled - then we'll get to see every game in October rather than just one in three. If there are as many of you as you think, at least. So chill out, Gas Destroyer. Even with Holden, even without Bentley, I'm hoping to see more wins than losses next year and to keep at least a division between the Gas and us.

Every decade we may just knock on the door but we always flatter to deceive. My signature below sums up my feelings for BCFC, the club of my granfer, dad and now me at 70 years old. When I snuff it I am going into the Crem to 'One for the Bristol City', if we get Prem before that, 'Happy Days' but not holding my breath !!!!

If you’re happy to sit back and lap up any sort of shite then you do you, personally I’ll make myself heard and show my discontent. As will others. What you thinking? You can "invest" all the time and money you have and ever will have but it doesn't make it "your club" no matter how much you perceive that to be the case. In this set up, fans are customers. It's no different to thinking you have some influence on who is employed at your local Tesco because you shop there. Unless you are employed at senior level by the club you have no say on recruitment, nor should you. Your opinion means nothing to the club, it's not your decision who to employ. What would make you think that the club would consider you suitably qualified to have a valid opinion? If Dean Holden is the next Manager, it wouldn't have been my first choice either. But it's not my decision any more than it is yours. To protest would appear classless and spiteful towards a man (Dean) who has done absolutely nothing wrong. If you would like to protest, just keep your money in your pocket, it's not going to reduce your influence on recruitment any further. Also, why start a thread on a forum if you don't want to hear an opinion that differs from your own? Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Dicks Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Maybe we could all help Dean Holden make up his mind this weekend. I don’t do Twitter myself, I’m old skool coming to terms with all these new fangled things. Is it possible to leave msgs on Twitter to Dean Holden to help him make up his mind on whether becoming our manager is a good thing for him, the fans, the club?

I'm happy paying what I do at the moment to be in the Championship. I come from Suffolk and remember the Tractor Boy's final season in the top division. It wasn't nice - it was a bloodbath. It's the gift to be just where you ought to be in football and City are where we deserve to be at the moment. We deserve a better process for appointing a new manager, fully agreed, but yes I'm happy to be in the Championship until we're fit to venture upwards. And, no. I don't think Holden will get us there and maybe Hughton might have. So I'm not a happy clapper these days but I'm not booing yet either. And thanks for asking a courteous question! Much appreciated.

Apparently the owner can put millions of his own money into the club, but he can’t appoint a manager without consulting little Kevin from BS3. Commitment for life? Don’t make me laugh...
