petehinton Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Head-coach-Sean-O-Driscoll-predicts-summer/story-18686927-detail/story.html#axzz2QEdyzvim Good news for us that he's already thinking about players to bring in. Sooner he can get them in the better. Can see near enough all of those out of contract leaving too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 If he is planning for the summer goes to prove all the rumours of him being unhappy with the board to be complete bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lita For Congo Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Im expecting a completely different side next season. Cunningham already getting interest, our forward line to be completely different and the obvious improvements to our shambolic defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 And how many years has this taken? i was actually thinking this during the Sheff Wed game when they had the defence we've needed for years.

fka dagest Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 And how many years has this taken? Exactly. The single biggest cause in our relegation is the failure to tackle this properly. They've had seasons to replace Carey and failed. There's no excuse for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I do have faith in SOD to address this but it really makes you wonder about the previous managers. The board didn't back Del for any of the numerous central defenders he had lined up. SO'D came in knowing it wasn't even worth asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Maybe he should of spent the Baldock money on defenders? That was tied up in the Maynard deal so it would of had to be a defender from WHam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think we will keep the majority of contracted players. Adomah will go for 2 mill so that plus freed wages will allow for defence to be bolstered. I think money we get from adomah sale will be the only money we get to spend however if that. there will be many bosman signings this summer me thinks.

bristolcitysweden Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Perhaps bullshit talking as always at City. Wages now 157 percent of turnover.
