I asked you to point out where he said he had mental health issues.

Please do so.

It's on page 37? Just read the post.

Appreciated mate. I've never made any secrets about my health issues. I posted on the "I'm not very well thread and nowhere else to go" thread in August, and openly said how I have tried to kill myself on numerous occasions. At the time, it was two, it's now three. I'm naturally always very lonely, unhappy and feel useless. Don't get me wrong, I have a nice house, lots of pets, a growing business, but I'm always depressed and constantly wish I was dead. It's not a nice way to feel, but when you feel useless, and worthless, it eats at you, and sometimes you read stuff, and it may be banter, it may be forum comments, but it's hard not to take things personally, when that's the way your head works. I try to do all I can for others and be kind, but it's landed me in an all manner of problems in life. Anyway, thank you for your concerns, I know you meant well and it's fine. One day, I'm 100% sure, I'll take my own life, but it won't be today and given I've failed three times, you could say I am to suicide what Lansdown is to picking mangers! Absolutely useless at it!

I apologise if my response came over as rude or unnecessary, I appreciate you were only passing on what you had heard. All the best and please reach out if you are struggling, it's always good to talk

Come on. He’s explained the info he had and gave. He can’t be held responsible for not knowing what the clubs actions were or are. 
  You did read the bit about his mental health being fragile did you?

True, he gave half a story from Lampards end so 50% 

Obviously wish them all the best with their mental health struggles, I wasn't commenting on that just on the info provided and I was insulting or derogatory to them

Good point but if it was nonsense they wouldn't give it credence. 

Yes The Sun has a long history of not printing nonsense...

Evening;

I said I wouldn't post until he was announced, but I have to raise my head and say, I'm a bit annoyed with the stance the post made, saying that Lampard was not currently under consideration.

I will say, I'm not Roy the bloody alien though! I do think his posts re Lampard have been after my thread on Monday am, where I said that he wanted the job. His post yesterday am, was around 4 hours after what I posted on here, and he copied it. He also said in a tweet Jody Morris would join him, then deleted that tweet and posted later about Michael Johnson.

I felt embarrassed to be blunt yesterday. I was working doing a VIP experience in my field of work yesterday when I saw the post report (How I know my contact who is friends with Frank, I arranged a VIP day for the blokes family and I've done a few days for his family and friends and we talk a lot, as I've been trying to get help from him on other matters).  No, he hasn't discussed matters with me because he knows I'm a City fan, but because we are close mates.

I'm reluctant to say too much, but this is not dead in the water is all I'm gonna say, and the club have not been truthful.

I have been told, and I'll be 100% straight on this.

Lampard contacted the club on Monday through a member of the staffing team to express his interest. (The club in the post report said he was not currently under consideration, and they hadn't contacted him. I feel this was to play down speculation, and may have been their stance, the approach came from Lampard).

On Tuesday, Lampard was told to apply for the job, if he was interested.

On Wednesday, Lampard had arranged to meet the club.

Yesterday, he did not meet the club. I was told he was due to meet the club at 11am, but the club cancelled this meeting, as they informed him, that they believed they would be able to approach their first choice.

Last night, Lampard was informed that the clubs first choice, declined the approach from the club and had no interest in joining Bristol City.

That was the last I heard. 

I have asked my friend, if he had heard anything, as there is rumours he was at the HPC today. I have been told that he hadn't spoken to Lampard since last night, when he said, that Lampard told him, that City's first choice had snubbed the club, and that he had applied, but was disappointed that his meeting with the club had been cancelled.

That's all I know,

On Tuesday / Wednesday, from what I was told, I was 100% confident he would be our manager. Lampard wants the job, that I do know. Maybe the club don't want him, maybe the club have been rejected by people they wanted, that maybe now they would rather someone who wants the job, and is keen to work with talented youth.

Quite frankly, I know sod all about events of today, but I do know, Lampard has openly said to a good friend of his and a friend / very big client of mine, that he wants the job. 

I've not made anything up, and quite frankly, I wish I never posted in the first place, given the abuse I've received on this thread. I was only passing on, what I had been told, and I have my own mental health issues, that reading stuff and being ridiculed, has made my feel really Carp tbh.

I decided to post, as I just wanted to put out there, what I was told, what I trusted and what I believed / expected to happen based on what I have been told, by someone who wouldn't mess about, or get a kick out of stuff like this. 

I'm not someone to gloat, or shout in the know, and as for being outed as a gashead, behave..... I've supported City all my life, rarely get to go to games, because my business takes up all my time, and my mental health is often fragile.

I try to contribute to the forum as and when I can on a number of threads, and was happy to pass on insight, in good faith.

Take care everyone, and I hope we get 3 points tomorrow.

I'm gonna take a break from the forum for a while. 

If Lampard is appointed, great, at least we will have a manager that wants to be here, and has belief in the club. If he isn't then good luck to whoever it is. I just hope Jon, Brian etc know what they are doing.

I watched the interview this morning, and the gentleman asking the questions just was a bit too cringy for my liking, and whilst it could have been very good, I would say the interviewer tried too hard to be Jon's mate, then do the task at hand. 

Phew! Sounds like a lucky escape.

Appreciate you sharing and no offence but I do think you rather jumped the gun a bit with your initial posts being "100% done" - there's a major difference between someone wanting a job and being offered it. You clearly have knowledge from the Lampard side but nothing from the club side. 

Won't believe anything until I see the John Percy tweet.

Any idea why @bcfcshags has been removed from the forum? Does the club have a say so in what goes on, on here?

He’s just let me know that he believes Lampard will be announced Monday. 

He deleted his account last time he had a break!

Being discussed at their end too!

If you've got it on ignore, why waste your time going on the forum, just stay off it

The weird posters who argue on every thread are on ignore not the topics

Will listen later, can anyone summarise anything vaguely interesting or controversial that we haven't already heard before?! 

Can we not turn every thread into these weird arguments between certain posters?!

Either ignore eachother or private message eachother, no one else wants to read it (yes I have most of them on ignore myself).

I'd rather have a manager/head coach like him or Luke Williams anyday than Frank ******* Lampard. 

No chance! Listen to his interview 

I guess fair play for asking questions that most fans are asking but I can't imagine JL gives a response and also I'm pretty sure Joe Sims is pretty 'in' with the club so won't be upsetting the hierarchy much. 

Rotherham fans want him sacked according to their forums!

Who has said discussions are taking place with Rotherham?!

100% NOT Williams 

100% NOT Eustace 

not sure who it is but those 2 names can be ruled out. 

Anyone who is on the shortlist?! 

Absolutely zero chance 

Feels like we need to pin a topic explaining who owns what within Bristol Sport!

If they think a league two manager/head coach can lead us to the Premier league this sesson then they are more deluded than I first thought.

I agree. I just think they are looking at clubs like Ipswich who appointed Kieran McKenna and think they can copy that model, although they don't all work as well as him!

Is our aspirations really as low as wanting someone who was managing in non league last season and who'd previously been sacked by Swindon?

Ideally not but from the videos today it looks like they are looking at a younger more hands on training ground 'head coach'... Which should rule a lot of names being banded about and being included on the betting shortlists - Rowett, Dean Smith, Jones, Wilder etc.

So it leaves manager such as Eustace, Beale and Williams as more in the mould of what we are after... 

Give me Luke Williams over any of the usual suspects appearing on the betting shortlists anyday.
