Jerry has been really busy helping staff shortages around the club recently 

I know it was raised higher up the food chain but by then decisions had been made. 

I would say the same mistake won't be repeated 

I'd love to believe you but I can't! We make the same mistakes season after season and never learn, we are a shambles of a club from the top down

I did ask the question to our lesser spotted slo on his bit of the forum but obviously not deemed important enough to warrant a reply

There were some spanish lads behind me and on exit I tapped him on the shoulder and said I hope he enjoyed it.

Don't know why he was in Bristol but I have been warmly welcomed at Sparta Prague and nou camp so no complaints from me.

Airbus employ a lot of spanish (good gig if they can get it!) so maybe a link?

Buyers are about see ..............................

Since when has it been appropriate for someone to walk around Ashton Gate proudly wearing Coventry City FC attire? It wasn't even like she was trying to hide the badge yesterday. Actually, flaunting it! Bet she was applauded by the 'new fans' we have attracted since becoming a 'day out' rather than a football club!

City is not like it used to be...

You sad man

Despite losing, we showed alot more fight tonight than most our games this season. If you can't see that from tonight, then you're an idiot.

I'll be an idiot then because we were crap.

Running a club outside of the prem requires a financial backer. You can’t say we’d be gone but we’d definitely not have the facilities and the transfer market presence we’ve had. Regardless of how well we’ve used it. Our club still has its goals and I bet there’s more to the story than the report suggests. Sl ain’t daft and financesis his game.

at the end of the day our club is a much more sellable asset even with the loses compared to pre lansdown.

worse case we get a points deduction in a few years. 

As long as sl backs us we ain’t going bust which is the crucial thing. We don’t and most definitely didn’t pre facilities upgrade make enough dosh to compete. Your only hope is lucking the prem on shoestring which is slim 
 

I agree with some bits but others are wide of the mark in my opinion

Championship clubs probably do need a backer, I will give you that

I don't want to get embroiled in the flashy facilities because we don't own them

Transfer market presence? Don't make me laugh!

Finance is his game, football ain't and he is daft when it comes to football!

Our club is not saleable now, and won't be while he continues his football folly

Any points deduction whenever would be a disaster for us

You know as well as I do that the next time we’re defeated(I.e tomorrow) there’ll be a “Pearson Out” thread. And I can bet on who starts it too!

Can I start one tonight because my god he's been shite!

Yes, the Lansdowns have made their mistakes <cough>Ashton</cough> but they have covered the losses those mistakes made.

We are not a basket case like Derby with an irresponsible owner running out of money nor are we on the verge of selling our ground to cover past losses like Rovers.

There is a great physical infrastructure in place even if progress on the pitch has been limited. And now that the primary reason for the poor value player recruitment has departed to the banks of the Orwell we can certainly hope for that as well.

I would like them to continue in ownership and hope that the talk of foreign investment remains simply talk.

We are a basket case of a club. We can't sell the ground because we dont own it!

Under lansdown there has been zero progress on the pitch to date.

What does physical infrastructure mean?

Not that I agree. But you can see why the club are charging 23quid for a boring 3rd cup tie

So that no one attends?

OK.....So withdraw £200 mill from our current position........we are now.playing in a decrepid stadium with no state of the art training ground to attract players and are probably languishing in Division 1....great plan?

With our lavish RENTED stadium and our state of the art RENTED training ground we still can't attract players! Great plan!

Excatly that and yet many fans still bemoan the owner!!!

We would be gone without the Lansdown,s.

A striker could be on the cards if we get rid of Palmer, Dasilva, Vyner, Simpson, Wells but what are their total worth?

And who will want them?

Why would we be gone without him? Please explain.

A lot of the losses are down to his mistakes and bad football decisions as they are every year 

Wow, worlds gone soft

Thanks for the podcasts, always a good listen, merry Christmas to you all. Coyr
