Steve Lansdown answered the point about a top half side so I didn’t have to four years ago. He got fired for failure per paragraph one. The money was a huge part of that continued failure But yes we can agree as you say!
-
Give up mate. The bloke blew our money and was fired by his mentor for it.He didn’t fire himself did he. (Incidentally Ashton wasn’t fired but I guess that’s all part of the plot exonerating Lee Johnson) The rest is imagination and spin!
-
I think you look at things in a way that somehow allows you to think that Lee Johnson was a victim of a circumstance that he was not/tenuously a party too! He was in fact integral to throwing away money that has had repercussions well past his tenure. The rest of it is as you say is less than academic speculation! As for what was happening on the pitch…There wasn’t much to cheer after the Wolves home defeat. We even had the ignominy of players and the club forking out for the direness of one of our particular performances. We continue to be an established Championship club not because of Lee Johnson but in spite of him!
-
Who knows what the remits were for individuals. However the thought that money was not discussed between the three people involved plus the CFO and the board of directors is not credible! Johnson Ashton and Lansdown carry the can, with a supporting cast of half wits and sons!

Not sure I include myself in the WE(s) in the post. LJ chucked money away backed by Ashton, while SL said my money my choice (which we now know with certainty that is only partially true as FFP is making us sell our best players) The utter utter dross signings of which there were many dressed up as world beaters by a couple of total ******* who had no right to be anywhere near our club and profligate spending on wages that went with it were both obviously crazy. Highlighted Particularly when you watched the product.

It doesn't bloody matter what "we wish for" .....
REDOXO replied to Bristol Oil Services's topic in Football Chat
It doesn’t surprise me that a purchaser is considering the size and the plans for the entire arena and all of its activities, that is a fact. It’s clear that one stand of the main arena is simply not big enough and looks out of place. To the extent that can be rectified I’m sure is under consideration for the fiftieth time by all concerned However if a top flight position was attained to what extent attendance as a revenue stream would effect a possible sale, and overall revenue who knows! City wouldn’t be the smallest. Nevertheless size matters in life, but when you tag on Rugby and other sports particularly those that might have some cross advantages and daily uses to certain buyers it’s still a nice package. -

I would not be surprised if something has gone to a higher takeover/investment level. I think SL is very much aware that JL really doesn’t seem that interested and as such there is no reason to continue being the benefactor. Of course due to FFP it doesn’t matter how much money people have it doesn’t make a whole deal of difference until we can create new/more revenue as a club The silence from the board and the Lansdowns recently had been deafening and as I have stated in the past is indicative of a possible deal! Despite what I read on here Bristol Sport with the stadium is quite a tasty proposition for the right people! -
Ask Kevin McCarthy!

Of course you are right about their possibilities. Who knows where they could go. However they have money available now and are being associated with a guy that is a on the watch list of clubs at home and abroad, by all accounts. I suppose either way we agree. In this case selling to a rival club in the division does not apply here as to all intense and purposes they won’t be for long. Having Semenyo to be integrated in by Kompany in this division does have upside. Guess we will see.

Pring had his career slowed by DeSilva in my opinion. DeSilva was an LJ bauble that cost a fortune and was almost immediately diagnosed with shin splints. Yet another crock that was missed by the medical staff and managed to get themselves paid for not very much. Is there anyone out there there that’s better and available to us or do we have anyone coming through is the question. From what I heard several have been offered contracts and as DeSilva was on the bench I suspect he was one of them. Guess we will know soon enough!

The tag line we want our <something> back still resonates 7 years after Trump Got elected. It’s always a nice easy one mind you. We want something back that we actually never had and is difficult to define. The club does as good a job as any club with its supporters, we simply haven’t done as well as we would like on the field this season… Still I’m all for freedom of expression and freedom of speech. Go for it! However as for my expression and speech. They’re a bunch of idiots -

Is this true? If so from whom do “we” want our club back from, who is going to get it and how much will this cost? -

How many good decisions have the Lansdowns made
REDOXO replied to BigAl&Toby's topic in Football Chat
The answers Pretty much cover the original post. We have spent four years out of the last 112 in the top flight which makes Mr Lansdown the second most successful Head of Bristol City of the entire period. The constant aggression toward the Lansdown’s is completely out of order. The infrastructure at the club and the ability to bring events to south Bristol is enormous! The only criticism I level at him and still do is throwing the clubs money down the toilet on Lee Bloody Johnson, leading us to the crappy hand we have. The fact he oversaw Ashton and Johnson dismantle the entire policy he put in place is super annoying particularly when he said my money my choice, which was only partially true! However, what we are currently is an established Chapionship club. Something we yearned for after 82. Thus tell your mate the above and ask him to stop getting you to post undisguised drivel for him!- 65 replies

The post was clear! The idea that the new CEO will not have input “have a say” into who works for him is absurd. The remit would have been discussed as it would have been anywhere! The rest is you!

Second half we could have won it twice. But hey ho!

Exxxxxeeeeettttterrrrrr

A draw and a performance. I’ll take that!
