But for right now, I couldn't give a flying **** whether you believe me or not Gayle didn't sign for Burnley, Grey did. So if every time you have mentioned Gayle you meant Grey then I don't know what the issue is. I clearly said from the outset that I have no problem Grey signing for Burnley ahead of us. In the same position I'd have done the same. On Gayle I said that he would have come if we paid him x amount per week. We were a long way off offering that, and even further from what he earns at Palace. Waste of time offering £9m without backing it up. Again, you won't believe me, but I'm happy to tell you what I have been to Lingard - ok, some football websites reported it. I wouldn't believe them, but that's me. You can believe them all you want @Robin1988 seems to agree with me, and I suspect you're one of a small amount of City fans who believed it. I find us being linked to a player like that laughable (your term) I'm really glad we've won numerous awards for our pitch. That makes me proud. I'm even 'prowder' that we were the first club in the region to offer £6-10m for a player. I'd have taken a bet with you a long time ago that we'd have been first out of City, R*vers, Cheltenham and FGR to do so. Some real competition there.

I disagree with the comment about one only being smaller than us.. I feel only Southampton and now Stoke but at the time we were on a par with them and bigger than the clubs I've mentioned... Certainly in terms of potential. It is key, but imo SL biggest failing is too much faith and maybe some naivety? (especially with the summer window) It seemed he allowed GJ to run roughshod over everything and it backfired, maybe that is why it seems he keeps reigning Cotterill in? I can only speculate based on interviews etc. Keeping the same blind faith he showed in GJ will lead us back to league one. i can't believe a man so ruthless in business can be so naive when it comes to football. Drop the sentiment and get the right man in for the job, I'm sick of our contradictivenature when it comes to the footballing progress of BCFC. The more I think about it the more I think I find success through Rugby is Bristol Sports easiest path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In answer to your much vaunted original question is we are in a better position on the field since SL became chairman in 2002 and significantly better off it! You appear to have begrudgingly agreed are the facts, (despite your desperation to continue in arguing a point that is clearly incorrect factually and continuing insistence on brushing over points made and hanging on to 'the pitch' to try and down play other achievements as a club that you asked me to point out) ... and as such I can tell you do understand those (facts) despite your continued desperation not to show it!

Yeah I drink that's not out of the question! Jesus - we'll go around the loop again, shall we? 'I might know more than you' - 'might' is the key word there. I get told stuff now and then. Do I believe it, yes. Everything I've been told has come true (I can write that a thousand times and you will never accept it). If you get told stuff and it's different then maybe you could let me know and we'll see where they differ, I'm sure we could come to a middle ground on the whole issue Grey, you don't mean Gayle? You sure? Grey was, and still is, a Championship player. If I've missed the whole thing here, I can confirm that I was told wages weren't an issue. Burnley was the better move for him. Gayle, on the other hand, is a Premiership footballer, and was prepared to take a small pay cut as he would've taken a cut of the transfer fee too. But we got nowhere near the wages he was prepared to accept. The whole Gray / Gayle thing seems to have been clouded. Can we agree to drop this one now, we seem to be on the same page Lingard - I'll ask my man. I don't know if we spoke to him or not. Then we can put that one to bed too Yes, I realise SL is not the chairman. You may well have far more experience of this than me, but I still believe SL has a massive say, as he should Personal? You made this personal, no point crying about it now How am I disrespecting our ability to place larger transfer offers than R*vers or Cheltenham? I would fully expect us to, look at the difference in size of the 3 clubs. Night vs day Better off the pitch, never disputed that for one second. Better on it? I would disagree. We are a struggling Championship club. I would put good money on SL thinking we'd be a lot farther down the line than this when he took over. For a successful businessman, with plenty of money, I cannot accept that he thinks flirting with relegation from the Championship is fantastic progress. I'm surprised you think it is too. My question is aimed at performance on the pitch, which is what the club lives and dies by. I don't see a massive improvement from being a massively under achieving Div 3 club to an under achieving Championship club I've had plenty of chats with my father in law, odd that. I suspect he may have had a word with Mrs Woodsy before things got too serious if there were any concerns about my mental health, don't you? Which others are concerned by my mental health? I don't see anyone else worried. You're the one who has been told to tone it down, and I haven't seen anyone back up your point of view, although I'm sure many would. I only see one or two people backing up what I've said.... Edit - for what it's worth, my man tells me Lingard was '100% total bullshit'. We were never offered him, let alone speak to him.

Unusual in these times, says alot about the area and no doubt something Harry took into account when planning his 'escape to the country'.
