Sorry, "fair play" ...................for an accident of birth , wtf ?

Was Jon an accident?

my mate.

We're going up!

Day 3 no appointment?

Not going well is it.

Hahaha

That's the opposite of cheap option.

Sounds like a healthy structure to me.

Very surprised no othe clubs do this?

I think SL is a coward.

Really he should go on record and explain this change of direction.

But he won't, I don't think his ego would allow him to do that.

Their record signing was made so long ago, most of our section 82 weren't even born!

I still can't stop laughing when remembering that little fact.

He looks racist 

Jon Lansdown couldn't run a sweet shop. This club is getting sold, eventually.

I'm on team Harry 

BigTone posted a racist comment and got called out.

Well, which one is it? Do you have loads of cash or is it not fair that you can’t compete?

Wasn't their record signing made 30 years ago?

Fair play, well deserved.

He has jonboy sussed!

Take the costs out of the police bill I reckon.

Where would we be without SL????

Who knows - but I'm happy he's here....

His judgement though has to be seen as questionable.

I agree.

As to where we'd be without SL? Who knows.

Personally, I'm looking forward to where we'll end up with Pearson running the team and Gould ably looking after the other stuff.

I'd imagine that what he says publicly is somewhat poles apart from his private view. 

I'd hope his private view is different to his public view. There was no need to share that opinion with us and I found it interesting that he chose to defend Ashton.

I think from reading your posts you share a similar opinion to me on Ashton. Good man!

Interested to learn that it wasn't just the men's team that Ashton neglected during his tenure at the club, but that it also extended to Bristol City WFC. Apparently he paid little or no interest in the WFC, which contributed significantly to their decline and ultimately relegation at the end of last season.

I was told by someone that would certainly know that, and I paraphrase, "the WFC is in need of a complete rebuild outside of the Super League and it is likely to take 2-3 years to get back into the top flight and sort the entire structure of the club out". Now, where have I heard similar to that before? He wrecked the women's team as he wrecked the men's team.

Now some people may have cynically seen those pictures of Pearson at the WFC game a few weeks back and thought he'd attended the game either for a photo op and good bit of PR, or because he was bored.

Not so, he has in fact been quite instrumental in helping out and providing advice to the WFC. So much so in fact that he recommended the new Head of Operations Grace Williams to the WFC, with whom he had worked with at Watford. He considers the WFC to be part of the Bristol City FC team and project, just like he considers everyone that works at the football club to be part of the project, from the ticketing team, to the media team, to the changing room cleaners to the bus driver. 

How encouraging and refreshing to have somebody in charge that takes such a keen interest in all aspects of the club. A far-cry from the previous regime.

What was interesting is SL still rated Ashton following his departure and had kind words to say.

He destroyed everything good following our promotion season but the owner is unable or unwilling to acknowledge that.

You are right about Pearson. I like how he is going about this season which is a big improvement on last year's disaster.

These threads always contain loads of bullshit, they do make me laugh though.

These things never end nicely.

You tried to tell um kitr.
