Ska Junkie Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Thanks 75, not a lot more he could say in all honesty. Positive interview as expected. Edited June 24, 2022 by Ska Junkie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Pretty soft ball questions in truth, but nice enough for all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Not going to do a tough interview at this time of year and potentially upset the ST sales. As always with SL a positive outlook with an acceptance that we aren't where we want to be. At least this season he isn't talking about getting promoted other than in the context of aiming for it alongside 23 other teams that are also aiming for it and some having extremely better financial positions than us.

Popular Post jayjay Posted June 24, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Utter waste of time. Twenty odd years of his stewardship and what have we got? SL grinning like the village idiot as his" legacy" is being polished by pop concerts. festivals etc., to leave him even wealthier when he finally sells up. Oh, football, is that the game with the round ball or the oval ball, just asking? Not that interested to be honest, produces nothing for my future wealth increase I just thank God every night, that I had a spare bedroom. I was at least bright enough to see the possibilities and grabbed onto Peter Hargreaves shirt tail. Who says an accountant (qualified?) is the dullest bloke on the planet and will empty the pub in under five minutes? Peter stays in Somerset and pays his full UK taxes, Sap. It's lovely in Guernsey.

SL grinning like the village idiot as his" legacy" is being polished by pop concerts. festivals etc., to leave him even wealthier when he finally sells up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_owners_of_English_football_clubs There are a lot of shady people on that list. People who’ve owned clubs for a lot lesser time and ripped clubs apart, driving them to financial ruin and allowing stadiums to decay and need desperate TLC. Bristol Sport might have income generated through non footballing streams these days but as a whole, it makes it a more attractive purchase than some ramshackle club without any decent infrastructure or off pitch setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot say one bad word about the level of financial commitment or the honourable paying of our debts . He just spent a huge amount of money badly . He now has in Gould and Pearson ( plus Tinnion ) people who are very able and professional . He will do well to support them as we are finally in the hands of people who have ability . SL is a great guy , lost his compass , lost his direction . But he is not a Mel Morris and he ultimately wants a successful Bristol City . He is now finding a competent team and should go with it , as it will make BCFC a far better club . basically he bought into a fraud , invested in a BS scheme . He now has an authentic strategy , that will , no doubt , deliver progress . Excellent post Billy - a spot on summary. No doubt at all that SL has made some poor decisions particularly with who he’s appointed in senior positions but that’s the nature of being the main man. Hopefully he’s got it right this time with the appointment of Nige and RG, both are impressive guys. I’m looking forward to this coming season with more optimism than is usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRed Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Two things from the interview for me, the first he said something like transfer fees are over for championship clubs - only the PL clubs can afford to spend money. The second when asked if he was still excited about the forthcoming season he admitted he was a bit 'blase'. Whilst the first is obvious for us due to our financial and ffp situation even if that position was better I do believe he's seriously pissed off with seeing Diediou, Palmer, Patterson, Walsh etc, even COD leave for nothing when in all those cases his expectation was for those players to develop, improve, and move on for profit a la Kodjia. On the second he genuinely seemed more enthused by the concert and the utilisation of the stadium financially than the upcoming season..... perhaps he was an Elton fan boy as a young man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of this mess is Ashton’s making and SL recruited and employed him. That’s on him. I’ve not watched the interview but if he’s genuinely said he’s ‘blasé’ about the season then it’s time he sold up and went. We don’t need an owner who is blasé about his most high profile sporting asset. And it’s actually quite demeaning to the thousands who’ve shelled out again in a huge cost of living crisis. I’m actually high blasé to his leadership and tenure at city. He’s managed to polish a turd (the ground (maybe the HPC) and hats off to him for that) but there little else to show for it. And as for concerts and all the other nonsense- if that now floats his boat then it speaks to diminished interest in city more generally.
