How about: Good Xmas present - Alan Dicks autobiography

Currently on 80 different teams out of the current 92, plus about 16 now in National league and downwards. Some of the 80 seen at old and new stadiums (3 Rovers) plus a load of small clubs in friendlies. But nowhere near 176, fair play @Miah Dennehy

Think you meant to refer to a different Nick. But with my attention drawn to this thread, the differences I'm expecting are: No cliches, David Brentisms, measuring grass, or throwing players under the bus from LM, I'd imagine.

Based on JL”s justification for sacking Nige, that’s a very fair analysis. Pressure on crayon boy then.

Great reply to a moronic rant.

Suck up it was then. No disrespect to Joe, dont know him but where were the challenging follow up questions, there weren't any. JOE: Question JON: Answer JOE: Oh right. Next question. A few points: JL moaned about the effect of covid, like we were the only team affected JL said they had no one else lined up due to their morals - except that isnt true as theyve done it before Could go on but the interview just reinforces my opinion of the so called leadership.

Fair play to him if that’s the case mate the test will be if he gives the idiotic crayon boy a hard time or just sucks up

It’s an expression the cliche king, nepo boy, uses a lot as well.

"Loads of strategy", that literally means there has been more than one strategy. Therein lies some, but not all, of the problem. Whatever did become of the Five Pillars.

You choose to ignore that he acknowledges in his opening sentence that some aspects of the original post have aged better than others. Everything he thinks is encapsulated in his most recent post, not the 3 year old one. As follows, I couldn't agree more and I think the majority on this forum would too: Just reposting what I felt 3 years ago in August 2020, it got a lot of abuse. Some of it has aged ok, other aspects not. I did stop following the club, and only at the end of last season and this, started engaging again due to Nigel Pearson. Recent events only reinforce the key points of what I felt back then. A few more might now agree. The substance is the same, the club use incompetent people to achieve a dream that requires extensive professional ability. There has not been any strategy or direction, and in the last months, Luton Town have now become the latest fad of the day. I mentioned a detachement between the fam base and club, again some said I was wrong, what I now read suggests I was closer to the truth. The biggest change that happened in the last 3 years, is that the club finally did emply someone who understood the needs required to become a Prem side. They also had a CEO who had similar experiences. In the space of 3 months, both were dispensed with as the the owner and his son are unable to accept professional criticism, and have reverted to type, by surrounding themselves with nepotism and cronyism. My base view 3 years aho was that Mr Lansdown did not know what he is doing. That remains, probably reinforced. My next post in 3 years, I hope less, I anticipate will be with new owners at the helm . BCFC is going nowhere with Mr Lansdown. Goodbye again and enjoy the season.

It was always going to be a hiding to nothing interview because Crayon Boy is out of his depth and completely unqualified to be managing people and Chairman of a Championship football club.

Could you post that on here or send me a DM plesae?

He's boasting about a £50m development but when Lansdown first got involved there were plans passed by Bristol City Council for a 12,000 wrap around the Williams and East End. It was scrapped. Why? My numbers are a bit hazy after these years but lets say it was someting like £10m budgeted cost AND half of that would have been paid for by the FOOTBALL TRUST, who at that time were tasked with encouraging clubs to upgrade facilities. I never understood why that didn't go ahead, can anyone with a better memory than me add to that? I was very vocal on here many years ago regarding Aston Vale etc and the motives behind transferring the stadium. I was proved right in many respects. For example, SL claimed AG wasnt financially viable, but after AV didn't go ahead, guess what, he developed AG - leaving him with personal ownership of AV which had been purchased off the back of BCFC. You lose the energy to keep on about it after a while. But with what's going on now with Crayon Boy I'm considering cranking it up again. EDITED for CrayonBoyEsque spelling mistakes.

Tried to like that but none left - fair reply.

The funny thing is it’s been edited to leave what they think are Crayon Boys best bits. Think about what the unedited version is like.

Didn't know about this, and it really it is class, and class from @Chris Bluebirds to acknowledge. After the past couple of days, restores your faith in football fans. And so called football fans. Crayonboy.

Fairly sure we've had disagreements on here in the past, and I can't even remember what about, but **** me that is one of the best posts I've ever seen.

Are you a member of the SC&T? Until I realised that Lansdown has absolute power and so the SC&T is just a talking shop - and I mean no offence to the SC&T, who are incredibly nice people with nothing but meaning the best for BCFC - I was an enthusiastic member. But if you have an issue with what they do, maybe you should become more involved.

What a post, thankyou. First, loved it when Leicester stuck it up the big boys. Took my time to pass judgment on Nige when he came here, couldn't make my mind up. Then I realised what he was doing, and what he's all about, and knew he's a goodun. Our ******* owners couldnt recognize a proper bloke and a decent manager, because they aren't proper blokes and they aren't decent managers. Hope to hear your lot loud and clear singing for Nige when we play you at AG, fairly confident our lot will join you.

The nepotism has gone too far, its a shambles, its a shitshow, and it makes my blood boil that a ******* idiot is apparently running the show.

Guess what one word Cotts described SL as? Cotts and Nige both shafted under Crayon Boy's tenure. You could argue that unwittingly GJ was as well. That's just the 3 best managers we've had in the last 20 years then.

Applications please to: crayonboy@bcfc.co.uk Strong minded individuals likely to be overwhelmingly popular, with an opinion and half a brain need not apply.

"Chairman" Jon Lansdown: “We all wanted Nigel to achieve our ambition to be promoted but, with our recent results, feel that now is the time to make a change to give the club the best possible chance of success.” What a cretin. Four days previous we were one win away from top 6. The only thing that could placate me would be if Crayon Boy ate humble pie, held out an olive branch, and asked Cotts back. To stand half a chance Crayon Boy would probably have to get down on his hands and knees and apologise for how Cotts was treated a million times, but you never know. And when the "Chairman" eventually sacks Cotts again, he can do the same with Nige. Starting with "trust me on Tinns" for 20 years its been one major **** up after another, apart from the lucky appointment of Gary Johnson (on our door step at the time) and Cotts (when it was Dawe's turn to have a go, apparently).

Well you probably did do the first bit mate

I wont be holding my breath, given that in August one of your 16 contributions was: I'm glad we agree then that Spurs are finished as a top team
