  1. Anyone think we should just sell the assets we have simply so we can be on a far better financial footing but also with cash for a rebuild? 15-20 mill for semenyo plus sell on 25-30 mill for Scott plus sell on 1-2 mill for kalas (more likely to leave for free at end of contract) 1 mill for massengo (More likely to leave for free at end of contract) 1-2 mill for Bentley (May leave for free at end of contract) Money in from Scott and semenyo sale would do 4 things. put us on a far better standing with ffp provide a decent transfer kitty to replace players moved on as part of a rebuild. part of the cash used to pay off the likes of Wells immediately to allow our wage bill to drop significantly. With improved finances, it would allow us the chance to possibly renew certain players on better terms so the likes of Bentley could be retained for longer. For the longer term, it may be the best strategy. Only question for me that hangs over the club is can the powers that be within the club be trusted recruit well moving forward to replace those moved on. on recruitment, have we missed the boat however on players that could replace the outgoings that still allow us to be competitive in the championship? would the above point be the only reason we don’t sell semenyo and Scott?
  2. Did I just hear the sound of a massive knee jerk? ?
  3. Ah, looked 5 mins ago and couldn’t see it. Maybe because I didn’t log in from Switzerland….
  4. Can someone tell me why there is no video pass for overseas viewers on robins tv?
  5. Set to sign for blackburn for 2.5mill. We likely due a reasonable sell on fee here? 10-20% of 1.7mill? Every little helps
  6. Consistency of playing staff, zero disruption to said playing staff and adding quality and balance to it all could actually lead us to having a potentially very good season. it’s clear no pundit or armchair stato has factored the above into their thoughts on our season outcome. I don’t mind flying under the radar until people are forced to take notice least said about secondtierpod the better….
  7. Quite literally a fantasy football game for the championship. Get 100mill budget, variety of ways to score points and also get special chips to play that provide boosts like ‘away day’ which gives a 2 x point multiplier to players playing away that game week. give it a go. It’s good fun.
  8. Not sure how many have joined. Been a little quiet on this post. Hopefully a few at least
  9. Surprised given wilson has a minor knock, that tanner isn’t given the position seeing as they are supposed to be competing for that role. Could suggest tanner isn’t yet trusted or ready to play wing back. With wilson out, I fell we could be a lot less toothless in attack but Sykes has shown he can be useful. I just hope Scott isn’t out at right back
  10. Puss poor from Bournemouth not to stream it or not to allow us to stream it back to our fans. Can anyone going film it live on Facebook or something? Pretty sure it’s been done before
  11. Don’t think we need to get too hung up on if one starts over another. We live in a 5-sub world now so I imagine Scott and Sykes will get time as well as both sets of fullbacks if we are to play with any sort of width and intensity. That still leaves two spare
  12. Bristol City Supporters League Join Code: Xu5pAB6naEOYgejX6sNCrw Otib League
  13. I can set up a new OTIB league or just join the one listed above. Maybe I’ll post an OTIB league code later For anyone, the website is www.gaffr.io
  14. Think only reason Scott may miss starting vs hull is due to starting ore-season 2 weeks later than others. Can see Sykes starting over Scott due to pre-season form (has impressed me the more I’ve seen of him). My preferred starting lineup for hull would be: bentley wilson, Naismith, klose, atkinson, dasilva williams, Scott weimann Martin, Wells
  15. Change sell to ‘move on’ then. A more open ended word. Sentiment still the same.
  16. I have faith in Nige, jury is out on Gould however imo. We haven’t addressed the biggest issues in the squad, the high wages, unwanted players and contractual issues. massengo contract or sale kalas contract or sale Bentley contract or sale wells contract or sale bakinson sale vyner sale all the above listed purely from our fragile financial standing. Surely should all be priority?
  17. Only pre-season but, already sick of these vyner Hollywood passes. We are severely lacking in attacking vision and quality in the final third. Concerns me that we don’t have an appropriate replacement for semenyo who makes a big difference to how we play in the final third. tanner definitely can’t perform the same attacking role that wilson can offer. Not been much of an outlet really. unlike the Cheltenham and Portsmouth games, there doesn’t seem to be and real style of play. It was obvious in the previous games that the plan was to get the ball wide and get crosses in. I have barely seen any of that here so far
  18. Really don’t get the skateboarding link… nice shirt but yeah, random way to announce it
  19. I can’t win really. On one hand I say we should have gone for him and I’m told we have no cash and who’s to say we were ever in for him, and on the other hand, maybe we had gone for him ?? either way it doesn’t matter. It’s another we have or are likely to miss out on due to our own shortfalls as a club. On to the next one wherever @Harry and the likes can find them from to bring to the clubs attention
  20. To me, would suggest cornick is a non-starter as if we haven’t gone for rudoni (likely due to having no cash) the same will be the case for cornick.
  21. Here’s the question. If we had money (which we would need for cornick) would you prefer him or Rudoni who hasn’t yet officially signed with Huddersfield I don’t think?
  22. Not writing him off, but currently I’m not sure what he brings that makes us better, apart from maybe his versatility (which I don’t always think is a good thing) and a determined attitude. I’m just not sure where he fits in to improve us. I know it’s early and I’m keen to see more of what he can do but it’s just my initial thoughts
