Roadrunner Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 I have been giving SL,JL and MA a hard time over the new manager appointment. But what of Doug Harman the fourth board member. Has anyone got any insight into how he fits into all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realise that you have just invited the less positive posters on this forum to confirm their belief that DH is a terrible evil gnome who is helping MA, SL and JL plot the downfall of our long suffering club. I've heard a rumour that he wants us to merge with the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, along with MA & JL listens, considers, voices his opinion, then agrees wholeheartedly with what SL decides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what gets said publicly, they all just nod and say yes Mr Lansdown . It’s a dictatorship . If he sought advise , he would of had a proper DOF In place years ago . He’s proved time and again , he’s a brilliant businessman but knows sod all about football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He owns 98% of the club. Which part of "He can do whatever he wants" don't you understand in this context? Harman has hardly any involvement in the day-to-day running of the club. He was a book-keeper but no idea what, if anything, he does now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notbarrymanc Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Incidentally, his name is an anagram of Hug Dourman, which as I recall is the OPs epitaph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always assumed he was a long term City fan, but according to a recent post on here apparently not. Pretty sure at one time he used to sign banning order letters from the club (not that I've received one!) but apart from that he seems to keep a low profile.

pongo88 Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 I can remember SL saying, at a fans meeting before an away match, that he likes things to be run by a committee. A committee of one, where he is the only member. He owns the club so he can do as he wishes. If I’d put as much money as him into Bristol City I’d do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he keeps away from team talks and tactics but I’ve no issue with him addressing players in a ‘man management’ style to encourage the best out of the clubs valuable assets.
