Income from Season Tickets must be about £3.5m, in June he wrote off another £14m debt by converting it to shares. He's made plenty of mistakes , trusted the wrong people and I will guarantee he is frustrated at not making the next step to the Prem. But to suggest he's happy just to collect season ticket money is a bit odd. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) He doesn't really say anything. It's his classic Young Mr Grace speech. For those too young to get that 'you' re all doing very well'. I don't read anything much into it.

Tin Soldier Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 My take on it was “keep spending your £s with Bristol Sport, whilst I try to sell the football club”. At least he has finally given an interview (pointless one). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He builds our hopes up, helps the manager to get the team into the top 4, then suddenly drops away, to mid table, as always, makes you think they don't want promotion, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His failings were with the managers and staff, what happened on the pitch isn't down to him. He supported just about ever manager, there have been mistakes, maybe didn't support some enough while being too loyal with LJ. If we got into the Prem, that £100m would make a massive difference. For Lansdown to turn that down through choice, would be madness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Spread himself too thin...jack of all trades, master of none. When asked about Bristol City...the reply is ...' well the men's team etc'. As every year goes by, he comes across as someone who had a great idea and belief, but made massive mistakes along the way. Had more money than sense...decided he wanted to leave a legacy. Football, men's, womens, Basketball, Rugby, Lando ( although from horse's mouth, no money involved, just promotion for both ) car racing etc. Spread himself too thin...not focused on anything in particular. Tbh...it all comes across as a rich man's play thing, and is more involved with Botswana and wild animal welfare. No bad thing. Imo...it's a project that hasn't been fulfilled and leaving would be seen as failure. So it's a no win situation. Great being successful at other businesses, but surely he must sit down sometimes and contemplate where it's gone wrong. As a successful businessman you would. However...admitting failure, however hard you try, just doesn't come naturally to some people who are exceedingly successful at other ventures. Doing so would be seen as negative against the prospect of further business investments. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
