extonsred Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Enquired in another post that I wondered where he seems to have disappeared to. Sabbatical? seems like Steve is very much back in charge. Has Jon been taken off the case, did he not approve of SC? May be perfectly reasonable and away on business elsewhere.

Rocky Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 How is Steve very much back in charge? He's always been the man in the background signing the cheques. I saw Jon driving into the car park before a recent game, all smiles and talking to fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 He definitely seems to have taken a back seat, which I think was a good move for the time being. Most media stuff is now dealt with by Pelling or Billingham/Griffiths at Bristol Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 It's just been tweeted out that JL & John Pelling will be meeting supporters at Crewe (a) on the 20th Dec Perhaps "Bowie" could pop along and share his personal grievances with him, I am sure he will resign immediately if he is in agreement with his views.

Ray White Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 yea I hate being top of the league and seeing a new ground being developed by his old man, such a shame........ I am thankful to Steve Lansdown for everything he has done and continues to do for the club I love. However, the appointment of Jon Lansdown to his role was completely ridiculous. In no other business would that have happened and it only did because he is the majority shareholders son, he has zero experience of running a football club.

It happens at far bigger and far more succesful businesses than Bristol City mate. Heinz, SC Johnson, Levi Strauss, Ford, Mars... Famously Rupert Murdoch has put his son James into all manner of senior positions within Newscorp.

Admin phantom Posted November 11, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 No, it's Steve Lansdown at the Q&A and John Pelling. That I find odd that JL is not in attendance - goes back to the OP is he taking a back seat ? Seems less "high profile" since the Bristol Sport bandwagon has gained speed. . . .

Admin phantom Posted November 11, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Why ? Its always been SL who attends. I'd find it more odd if JL attended in that respect. Isn't one a current member of the board the other just someone in the background. The reason SL did them in the past was that he was the Chairman - he is not anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I think maybe he has acknowledged that public speaking is not his forte, which it isn't for many people. Just listen to 90% of the callers on Radio Bristol for proof! As vice chairman, his main role will be to represent his father in the day-to-day running of the club, to.liaise with him and pass his wishes on. You don't need an outside "expert" to do that. I also think it's a good thing we have a passionate BCFC fan involved in the club administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Blimey, a fair bit of unnecessary vitriol and criticism on this thread toward Jon Lansdown.. quite poor taste i would say. Regardless of doing a good job or not, he is in that position and is no doubt doing his best so live with it and say something complimentary about the club; we are doing rather well so everyone, including the Vice Chairman, deserves a pat on the back for my money.

Guest Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 something people have been crying out for Who is adequately competent also. Whilst JL was seemingly fronting the show and prior to that managing AV a hell of a lot of incompetent, junior mistakes were made. He know seems to have been pulled back and things are turning around. I'm not for one minute suggesting that that is the reason for our upturn on the pitch. Far from it. However, what I do not like is that during the downturn JL was made to front it out and took a lot of flak. As things are going well and there is a feel good factor he should be able to front that out also - unless he was genuinely one of the big contributors to our downfall. To my mind JL was terrible for this club during his early years. A savvy, commercial experienced mind behind AV would have seen that come to fruition - of that I am absolutely certain. During our final championship bow and last season he was a PR disaster once after another. In all fairness he had an induction of fire and I'm sure in hindsight SL thinks it was very poor leadership (lets not kid ourselves, he is the puppet master who gave the boy the rope on which he hung himself) on his part, albeit I'm sure Jon's shoulders are a damn site broader. Time will tell how JL has developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatcham red Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Steve has always done the Q&A's. Not so much anyone's job, just an owner/former chairman who likes talking with fans. We're lucky to have someone so keen to do it. I spoke with fans at Derby and Wolves who said they would never see this at their club. I asked Jon to attend the one in Bradford with Steve. This time round I suggested it to John Pelling as he saw the format in Bradford and is very keen to get involved. Again, good news. He does after all, run our football club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
