supercidered Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 There’s always one! Being City forever is a given. Making the biggest mistake when a massive opportunity presented itself is unforgivable. The biggest opportunity in a generation. Muppetry of the highest order.

BRISTOL CITY FOOTBALL CLUB FOR LIFE UP'S We start to climb then get kicked. The club were building towards the Prem so this appointment will be another kick. I will give the new manager a chance, but if he cant get i right where it counts then i will be one of the first to blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 He personally has my full support as do the team, but I’m really angry with how the board have made things so much harder for him. He’s going to be given no time from many fans and is fighting on the back foot before he’s started. It’s incredibly unfair how they’ve dropped him in it like this. Personally I’m expecting top 6 as this was what LJ was sacked for not achieving. Best of luck Dean, you’re going to need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would you rather have a foreign owner who will asset-strip the club into bankruptcy as has happened to several other clubs in the Championship? As with the campaign to get LJ out changes don't always result in the situation improving and it can get much worse. The Lansdowns have pumped tens of millions into this club and are entitles to appoint who they want, they are responsible owners and we should be grateful, many clubs will go to the wall during COVID but BCFC won't.

milo1111 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 If it is Holden I won’t be putting another penny into this club until he has proved he was the right appointment. i.e he is an improvement on his predecessor. i don’t think he will be and I think it’s an arrogant and ridiculous decision. I hope to god I’m wrong though as it will set us back a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey54 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 I pulled my season ticket after Lee Johnsons appointment. At a time when we had a squad capable of achieving something with a couple of additions we took the cheap option and started selling off our young talent. No pulling needed here but if we appoint Rachel Riley....... Well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL CITY FOOTBALL CLUB FOR LIFE Steve Landsdown football club for life Formally known as Bristol City DH will get support. I think he's in a no lose situation. If he makes a hash of it, it will be SL and MA that get the brunt of it. It's not his fault. In other news, odds on Betty the tea lady getting the job have drifted 20-1. Pending DH feedback on Monday MA quoted as saying "Betty knows the squad, has the right DNA, understands our youth policy and the players love her. She's been outstanding throughout the entire process" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the board will have to back him to the hilt if he’s appointed, including keeping him if we are near the drop zone. They won’t be able to back track on this one until it’s too late. IF he’s appointed and if he he’s not successful of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MATT BCFC Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 He sounds like a decent guy and hope he does well. It's a big ask for a novice manager though and I fear if he does badly will destroy any future hopes of a career in football management for him. If we lose Fam and Elliasson think he will do well to keep us up to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL CITY FOOTBALL CLUB FOR LIFE Why does Dean get upmost respect for taking the job. He will get a massive pay rise and take on a job he has no experience in doing. If he fails he walk away with an amount most of us can only dream of. Respect has to be earned not given in every walk of life. Although I disagree totally with the process and his appointment , he will earn my respect if he does a good job and improves our team. If he is to be the Manager I hope he does this.
