Pot calling the kettle black springs to mind. Especially when using the correct order of words. I've learnt more from other posters bemused emojis than anything you've said.. You seem like you want Pearson to jump out his seat and have a Braveheart moment or something. Then surmise that we will inevitably get beaten two nil because of this. Weird behaviour pal.

Really not sure what you are expecting him to do in his interview. Yes he seems calm and relaxed but not sure why that's a negative.

For the club or SL? If its the former, of course. We have a brilliant stadium and training facilities and he's sustained us at a loss like most clubs week in week out. Could better decisions have been made i.e not recruiting MA definitely. For SL, if your talking money. Definitely not.

That is probably true to some extent. I don't even mind the thought of a new owner looking for a profit. As long as the intentions are right and their not reckless in the way they do it. The only issue is that's very hard to accomplish in the world of football these days.

If we do sell I don't think that's the most important question. I obviously don't know Steve's mindset when selling but I think he's bankrolled us due his affinity for the club and Bristol. His further investment in the Flyers and Bristol Bears shows this. Actions speak louder than words. Without sounding too much like Kieran Maguire's fanboy I do agree with his statement on football owners. 'There's four reasons to buy a football club, profit, love, vanity and insanity' I think its love in Lansdowns case and I think every prospective owner of a football club must be a little insane to do it in the first place. Its the most expensive passion project to get into or expect to see return on investment. More importantly if we do sell, what is the reason the new owners are buying us would be my question. Fans always want success and we've fallen short of reaching the promise land so far but I'd rather that with an owner who I believe has honest intentions than a dodgy owner.

Just Bristol City but that does include the Stadium and training ground.

That is the amount he has spent. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-losses-championship-rivals-8386461 Kieran Maguire who is respected with football finances came up with that figure.

That'll be two great options at LB next season if so. Both explosive and full of pace. Wonder if we aren't pursuing Currie now then?

Nathan Thompson would be my pick from recent memory.

We seem second best to everything so far.

I would say a couple of million max. Although we've had a chunk for Semenyo and a potential big fee for Alex we won't be throwing big money around. I just hope we are looking at his replacement now with a bid ready as early as possible as we've got the cash to do that straight away now before teams hold out for more once we've sold him.

First half we were utterly terrible, second half we were average at best. Bit of a wake up call however Luton are a very good side and we are just not there yet. They seemed much more physical than us all over the pitch. We looked panicked and either hoofed the ball aimlessly, lost most second balls, consistent missed passes and individual errors. Only two positives was OTC's introduction as he did well. Max kept us in that game with multiple saves.

This is a terrible performance, guess our limited squad is showing but we are shite tonight in all aspects.

Tragic

Think this might be the maverick Nigel was talking about needing.

He has no intention of signing a new deal and hasn't for a long time. That's why he's out the team.

Adam Webster bought for 3.5 million and sold for 20 the next year. Great player for us in that limited time too.

https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/vyner-signs-new-deal/ We have a year option available.

I'd personally add Andy King in the summer but I'm assuming he's going to go into a coaching role nonetheless.

Sounded like I was questioning his source but really I was reaffirming his info if he got it from elsewhere.

They really do have a bee in their bonnet regarding us.. to be fair I've seen alot of our fans questioning why Semenyo is going to a 'small club' like Bournemouth. I think its just the usual melodramatic response from fans added with some spite because of nicking Naismith before.

I'm not sure if this is where you got your info from but a Luton fan on their forum has also said this. https://members.boardhost.com/lutonoutlaws/thread/1674813324.html

Surely that wouldn't be anywhere near 9 million though. I'm not sure of the precedent to be honest. Also I'm sure it's much less if it's a foreign club.
