Dr Balls Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Paul Simpson’s press conference today seems pretty fair in the circumstances: https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/every-word-paul-simpson-say-5027818 Even he feels that the club need to get on and appoint someone and not leave things in limbo any longer than necessary.

YGBjammy Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 The entire thing just screams "we've completely run out of ideas" they are basically hoping that by chance they pick an eleven which somehow works or magically clicks. It's ******* embarrassing. SL should have sacked all 3 of them and put someone in who might actually have some different ideas, because clearly these 2 were part of the problem. No "new manager bounce" when it's just the same ****** managers?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Wood Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Simpson and Downing are probably two of the most useless recruits the club has made and Holden must take the credit for that his recommendations by God have they added absolutely nothing the sooner they bugger off the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 The one crumb of comfort... He clearly knows he will not even be considered for the job full time. But what I'd give to see this long list of 10+ And I swear to you, I would put money on Tisdale being on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pl00peh91 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I think he’s secretly desperate to be out of this sinking ship of a club and therefore wants someone recruited as soon as possible so he can sit at home with his feet up and his payoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Seems we have a lot to worrie about nobody's communicating within the club there seems to be no control over anything what is our 500k CEO up to and a chairman thats off on personal trip while the club in this mess!! Even seeing comments from kalas on social media and his interview, Honestly I've seen some rubbish football under pulis but this is more than on the pitch stuff and it seems things are literally coming out the woodwork that have been a problem for a fair while. Lansdown I think you need to be firing more people than just Holden!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 How can anyone involved in the management set up not be made aware of players injuries? WTF is going on within this club??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyolly Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 It’s a depressing read in many ways. Credit to PS for trying to be open and professional in response to the questions and he is accurately summing up where we are as a club. The problem with being so honest is managers like Warnock will get hold of what he’s said and use it as best he can to exploit every weakness he can.

Lansdown I think you need to be firing more people than just Holden!!! I would suggest a lack of focus on the club by the ownership and leaving it to the CEO has left us in this position. The reasons for that include living offshore, COVID restrictions restricting travel, being just a part of Bristol Sport, the success of the rugby club, leading to poor decisions and a lack of good leadership throughout the club. We have spent years laughing at the Blue Few but I am sure that some of them are enjoying a large degree of Schadenfreude as the wheels come off at Ashton Gate. And the gloating if they survive the drop and we go down would be embarrassing beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 That was a disastrous, if informative, interview. He hasn’t spoken to Williams this last week. He doesn’t know about Edward’s injury, and we may have to rely on luck to get a point. He seemed utterly broken, and it didn’t sound as though anyone was keeping him in the picture. Not surprising then that Kalas said it was up to the players Hope SL is as appalled as many of us are about the complete shambles that is Bristol City PS And the Chairman, for what he’s worth, isn’t in the country We are, as others have said, a shambles. Who on earth would want to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 The more that comes out the club, the worse it gets! He just wants out, doesn't he. Don't particularly blame him, now in the firing line and getting pelters. Complete lack of communication from top to bottom. Oh and the club played Edwards in a behind doors u23 which made his injury worse...add him to the list of mis-managed injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrascal2 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Rudderless ship heading towards the relegation battle sooner rather than later. Hindsight is a great thing but why didn't we get 3 or 4 players in during the last window. As someone has said if Kalas is injured we have had it in defence. A real test of Lansdown's committment to the football part of his Bristol sport empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Not his fault that he is in charge of the first team but he doesn't know what to do. We are rudderless and sinking fast. At least he was honest. A rarity at AG lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an utter shambles but if you we're in a job with the clock ticking knowing that any day your getting the boot would you give a toss?? Nope..... they both should of gone with DH and I'd of rather seen Scott Murrey in charge at least we may have seen some passion if only from him.

Mr Flannel will be worried about his not toeing the party line. One thing LJ always did was to protect Ashton’s position, made sure he always sang from the same hymn sheet. Holden wasn’t quite so good at that, even though he was trying to. But Simpson doesn’t seem to give a shit and might spurt out some stuff he shouldn’t.
