It’s been as long as I can remember the Lansdowns have been involved. Yes. An unpopular view but one I’ve held on to for a long, long time. Others with a far better insight into how they see the Lansdowns will shoot me down. Steve this, Steve that.... Thing is he has little if any interest in what we once called “our club”. Pula is simply the name he’s given to his investment. A cash cow with multiple udders that he pulls when he thinks the time is right and when one udder has a touch of mastitis. Cup run. Man Utd. Man City. Quick Mark. Pull the football one. Get Lee to swing a ball boy round in the air. Shall we kick in boss? No Mark. I fancy a tug on the Bears now...... And so we are where we are. Hughton is coming. Gerrard is coming. No. There’s talk of Hoddle. To work alongside a failed coach. But we’ll play the local press. Tell them one thing and then let “our fans” find out we’ve pulled their pants down when the actual player makes his own announcement on his social media. ******* clowns. The lot of them. Time for the Lansdowns to have a pull on another udder next week. Flyers anyone? Agreed, felt the same for a while too, but until recently you’d be lynched for saying anything anti-SL. Admittedly he’s proved us doubters wrong quite often, he’s definitely a “safe” owner and stops us dropping to far, but overall I still feel he’s holding the club back massively. The one positive of this whole debacle is that people are starting to realise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacki Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 The way this has been handled just sums us up at the moment. For the people asking for a montage etc.... that hasn’t happened because they had no intention of making this announcement and have only done so because the player has been forced to announce it himself. It’s a disgraceful way to carry on. As others have said, it looks like they’ve used this news to try and ‘out’ Gregor’s mole. What a way to treat a decent bloke and fantastic servant of the club. Has it not occurred to Ashton and the children that run our media team these days that if they just communicated things openly and effectively, rather than tweeting irrelevant shite every day, there wouldn’t be a need for people to leak stuff? What a dishonourable, shoddy shower this club have become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 The most depressing aspect of this is how the clubs shambolic handling of the communication of Korey leaving is overshadowing the recognition he deserves. The term ‘legend’ gets thrown around a lot these days, for me the lad is a shining example. League winner, JPT winner, captain and scorer of one of the greatest goals in our history. Not only that he’s a great man and a model professional. Thank you Korey for the greatest football memories of my life and all the best for the future. When you return the reception will be rapturous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a dishonourable, shoddy shower this club have become. Not the right way to go, but if there's a leak, then it will be plugged. It's happened before, it will happen again. What's more concerning is the fact that so many are desperate for news, so have jumped on the Gregor bandwagon as he's the only one releasing news/updates- regardless of whether they are correct or not!! "Gregor says it's not true so there". As nice a bloke as he may be, he knows about as much of what goes on inside the club as I do! As for Korey, best wishes to him and his family, would not be surprised to see one of the newly promoted clubs sign him for his experience and leadership. He's been unfortunate in the past few years because of the injuries, but that's in some respect a result of how he plays - he will give everything. A top man, who will always be fondly remembered.

A bit like Keogh did over a decade ago. Re Walsh, he was signed “ready to compete”. He didn’t do enough overall. It’s now crunch time for him...to prove a 45 minute v Stoke and some good on the ball stuff v QPR was the stuff that Cov fans witnessed all season. Hopefully he will. But it’s a jump, and needs to do it consistently. Re Moore, yep, I just didn’t understand the loan at all. Even with Benkovic in on loan, both Baker and Kalas have injury concerns.

I think the KS contract situation was set in stone, when he was left out for the last game of the season. It was obvious then, he was not part of our plans moving forward. We could have, alongside Korey released something then during July as a proper goodbye; rather than this shocking state of affairs today unfortunately.

SuperDziek Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 3 minutes ago, JonDolman said: The club have announced it. The player announced it first as Bristol Post were inaccurate with their story and he would not want clubs thinking he is still staying at City. If the Post don't do that then I am pretty sure the club put a farewell message like they did Wright and Taylor. Do you think they were not going to do this for Korey? Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence that they were going to do it. Its not like BCFC and KS has agreed this morning that he won’t be given a new deal (or one on the terms he wants). City could still have announced his departure first once the BP ran their story this morning. That Korey, who to me is a club legend for what he’s achieved, had to announce his departure on Instagram leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
