I was going by Ashton’s announcement when Barton was appointed to replace Baker City appoint new head of communications | Bristol City Either way though Barton is extremely experienced (ex British Lions, England Rugby etc) so he shouldn’t be that reliant on Knights or Ashton. You’re right, he shouldn’t. My general view is that he hasn’t really captured what a football fan wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Just now, steviestevieneville said: Yes they do , but for him to so be confident in posting the story it would of come from a reliable source , hence why I’m suggesting it came from the club. Trouble for him now is , some people won’t believe a word he says from now on Okay so you agree that Gregor has plenty of options he can source information from and use for his journalistic purposes but you 'obviously' know it came from the club. You can surely see the double standards you've set yourself to fit your own narrative. You've got no idea and you know what neither have I! I'm not going to bash the club because the BP released an incorrect report on Korey prompting him to set the record straight. I always take paper talk with a pinch of salt but when it's all you've got you take an interest so it's appealing nonetheless. Gregor will post whatever he finds out and rightly so he should that's his job. People shouldn't just believe everything they see written down regardless. More fool them if they do!

Not his fault if he is deliberately misled, maybe (not for the first time) the club is looking for who leeking info? I think that pretty much what I said in my post, other than the club trying to find out who’s leaking information, or misinformation in this case.

havanatopia Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 4 hours ago, Davefevs said: I actually doubt he is one of the high earners at all. His contract history is as follows: signed for us in June 14 whilst we were in Lg1 signed a 3 year deal in July 2016 (end June 19) our first season back up. We weren’t paying anything like the wages we are paying now signed a 1 year extension in Nov 18 (end June 20) whilst injured on the same terms as his existing contract. LJ gave it to him so he didn’t try to rush his rehab by coming back too soon to earn a new deal. So he’s currently on the same wages as he was on in 2016. Amongst the senior / experienced pros I suspect he is the lowest paid! Maybe Holden has plans for Nagy to leave, or Nagy himself? One to wait and see. Do you not think this may have been superseded by an amended contract on the same timeline but with a higher salary? It would be poor if not, given his service to the club. 2 hours ago, Lew-T said: Bit poor that he’s had to post on social media to explain the situation. He may not have had to but with social media being what it is felt he needed to; agree with other remarks though in that the club might have been a bit more nimble footed. We have seen they are, shall we put it politely, slow to feed information to the fan base these past few weeks. Shall be sad to see Korey go; the last of Cotterills' promotion winning team. I can see him being a great asset to an upper half League 1 team. Thanks for the memories Korey, thanks for all those great performances, thanks for the Man Utd goal which will never be forgotten. I was lucky enough to be there that night. I am sure we shall all be watching the rest of your career from afar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Biggest problem seems to be where to start his new life with kids starting school. Bristol perhaps not the obvious location for a Hatfield boy. A marriage that has not been the best over the last few years has at last comed to an end. Thank you for the memories Korey and best of luck for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be poor if not, given his service to the club. no, I genuinely don’t. Don’t forget the contract amendment in Nov 18 was when he was injured. He didn’t return to playing until late Nov 19, even then picked up niggles. So he returned regularly in January, when there’s little chance he’d get an amendment.

eardun Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Thanks for the memories Korey. A key part of our double winning season (the last one to leave), captained the team on many occasions, and of course I’ll never forget the winner v Man Utd. All the best for the future and hope you come back to AG one day and receive a proper thank you (like the reception Wilbs received). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't do a whole big 'goodbye Korey' thing if there's a chance he ends up staying. So I'd guess our media team have been waiting on his negotiations with other clubs and if he agreed to go elsewhere we'd have got the posts/videos we've had.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 5 hours ago, redpole said: I hope this isn’t true, no doubting that Korey has been great for us over the years but with Walsh,Morrell,Massengo, Nagy alongside youngsters Bakinson and Morton plus city looking to bring in a new Defensive Midfielder. I don’t see the need to keep him on, I don’t believe he is the same player he has been over the years and as one of our higher earners, I think it’s time to move him on. No time for sentiment in these times. Question whether Bakinson and Morton are ready yet. Another year on loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason people are pointing the finger at the club is because of the 'esclusive' at the BP. I'm not having a go at them either because they were fed bullshit but I can't see why the club is getting stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 The way the club is being run is amateurish and disgraceful The communication has been poor since Baker was sacked and knights put in charge The way we sign as many players as we can hoping one comes good is a joke there's something about throwing shit at a wall hoping something sticks springs to mind, The chase for a manager has been a joke We a laughing stock Its time we did something about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
