A Horse With No Name Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Have it on very good authority (the best actually) that not one single member of our board of directors will be travelling to support the team and Pemberton tomorrow. I think that shows just how much they care about the club in these very difficult circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Not all bored members have heard the news, yet. Once they are all aware that Sean won't be "setting us up" tomorrow, they'll be there like a shot. On goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Why do they have to go tomorrow? They don't coach the team or interfere with tactics; they probably have more pressing matters in the office to resolve. I'm am sick of the criticism aimed at the board, what's the reason for this onslaught? We are in the midst of a downward cycle and the last few years have been abysmal, but this is the game of football, it's not necessary an indication that the board are inept and to blame for all the club's failings. When considering our lowly position, I'm afraid the buck stops with the managers and the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board Who has sacked 6 managers in 3 years? The board Who has given the fans of BCFC false promises? The board Who appointed Tinnion FFS?!! The board Sorry but we've had 6 managers in a short space of time, most of which have had a very good track record before taking charge here. They can't all be bad managers??? The blame for me, should be firmly pointed to the board. I'm still raging about the decision of SOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Sheff Utd defeat, the horrific possibility of relegation was looking all the more credible. I salute the board for having the courage to remove him and give a successor suitable time to affect a necessary change. Would you have been happy if we stuck with SOD and remained in the bottom 3?

The Kaiser Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Why would we care? They are neither coaching the team nor playing - I couldn't give a toss if they were there or not. Now if you were to tell me not one, zilch of our goalkeepers was going, then I'd be pretty p1ssed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think it's important for our club to be represented in the directors lounge at the opposition club we're visiting? If I were a Preston Director, I'd consider it quite rude and improper for no-one to be representing Bristol City at tomorrow's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about support and motivation. They don't have to do anything practical, but when things get difficult they should show some commitment and not jump ship. I've no idea if the OP is right, but if that's the case it's disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that shows just how much they care about the club in these very difficult circumstances. According to Radio Bristol Steve Lansdown is there. Not sure about any of the board, but clearly the owner cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had this been Coppell, Millen or McInnes, there wouldnt be no complaints.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
