Lew-T Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 No matter how rich the man is or what he's doing for the club, he doesn't know football business if it smacked him in the face. He should take as much blame as Cotts is getting on here tonight for the summer's circus transfer business. The man wants Premier League football, that's the message he has given SC. Maybe that's reason for the unrealistic targets perhaps? Another thing, if you're going to offer that much money on a player, you have to back it up with wages. Not League one wages! SC is getting ridiculed on here tonight but I think part of the blame, if not the majority should be down the main man in charge... Steve Lansdown! No doubt SC and the coaching staff need to look at themselves but I don't believe for one minute that they are solely to blame. That's just my opinion of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I totally agree - I hope we do not sack Cotts - he has done a great job and was given support to sign the best players around Tiers 3 and 4. Simply not the case for the Championship, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 It's perfectly clear that SL and SC don't speak the same language. SC will very soon get the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt SC and the coaching staff need to look at themselves but I don't believe for one minute that they are solely to blame. That's just my opinion of course I have to agree, some of the comments beggar belief. There are some people claiming in one breath our problem is league 1 players and then in the next breath putting the names of league 1 players as possible new signings. Some claiming Jet would have made a difference, a player who cannot get a run of games at his new club and playing with even better players. Some claiming that Reid, Cox and even Robinson or Burns might be our saviours. There have obviously been huge mistakes made but whatever went wrong especially pre season needs to wait until next pre season and then an honest and full statement needs to come from the club, I believe that is the least that the fans deserve. Let’s concentrate on getting January right and hopefully kick on. I have only seen Burt’s name mentioned once in the blame game, so I ask what did he actually do pre season and what is he actually doing now, in fact what is his role?. and finally some of the uninspiring names mentioned as potential replacements for SC is IMO even more depressing. PS:- As BCFC fans we are all hurting but I have to say some people seem to be enjoying our plight just a little too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltshoveller Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Maybe just maybe players DONT want to come and play for Bristol City!!!! To come to us most players would have to up sticks and move And why would any player want to play in front of 15k fans who as soon as he over hits a pass by a yard will get on his back and start moaning he is not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt SC and the coaching staff need to look at themselves but I don't believe for one minute that they are solely to blame. That's just my opinion of course I agree , but Jon Lansdown should also take the blame. Its seems that we have targets in the summer which JL had the task of trying to sign however he felt that the prices were to high and if we waited the price would come down, the prices didnt come down and we missed out on all our targets due to JL gamble. Not for the first time in recent years managers of this club are working with one hand tied behind their backs and the board are making the same mistakes again and again , now that is the defition of stupidity.

You don't debate anything all you ever do is put childish little one liners and insult people. Really grow up or go back to gas chat where you undoubtedly emerged from.
