WTFiGO!?! Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 SL strikes me as a well meaning, very wealthy guy. Unfortunately, this does not qualify him as a guy who knows anything about football. As for the sags, crikey! They've had years of worse shit thsn we have now. No wonder they have 'issues'.

pongo88 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 In a way what Steve L has done has been correct. He's not a football expert so he's let the managers manage without interference. This was ok to start with but then went wrong when the managers began to sign hopeless players. His choice of managers seemed, at the time, to be correct. Coppell, Del and SoD all had good records at previous clubs. Unfortunately as soon as they drove into the Ashton Gate car park their ability evaporated. You can't blame S L for that (though some will) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I hope it is going to be one of those posts that rips into the owners for allowing the club to get into such debt and then goes on to slag them off for not investing in better players and managers.

I would say that with the number of years service to the club as both a director, investor, chairman and majority shareholder Steve Lansdown is perfectly qualified to run a football club. Can you list some club chairman who are more qualified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blame S L for that (though some will) The idea that people's ability mysteriously "evaporates" when they arrive at Ashton Gate is as fanciful as the notion that the OP has some devastating insight that will be revealed in the next 7 days! Does he let them manage without interference - I don't have the knowledge to say for sure one way or the other, but there are plenty who believe he doesn't - Copout's departure etc. More importantly - he certainly doesn't give them time. He either a) lacks patience, b) lacks self confidence in the decisions he's made a the reasons why, or c) both the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the bit about Coppell, but he backed the other managers by providing money for their signings. Nobody has ever said that it was S L's inteterfence that led to the signings of Nicky Hunt, Peter Styvar, Damian Stewart, Neil Kilkenny etc etc. He backed the managers' judgement and allowed the club to sign them. It seemed as though lessons had been learned with the announcement of the famous / infamous 5 pillars but this seems to have been abandoned - e g 3.5 year contract for El Abd.

ten minutes of rough Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Neil Warnock This really annoys me, why do some of our so called fan's what this man at our club, one of the most divisive men in football and creates a bad smell wherever he goes. He is an egotistical useless coach who is a throw back of just what is wrong with English football, granted he is a motivator but apart from that there is nothing there. However what we have at present is a poor coach too, the only hope I had was that SOD could have made it, and just when he seemed to be turning things around the Board fired him. We are relegation nailed on certs at the moment, I am afraid we have neither a Board or a Manager at the helm that I can trust with our club, I have to consider the worst and just hope things one day will get better, but not until we have a root and branch clear out it won't .

Bristol Rob Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Neil Warnock Fans would have been on his back the moment we conceded a throw in, and with the exception of the time SOD was booted, he was otherwise employed at clubs in a better position than the one we were in.
