054123 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 This is what frustrates me. I have absolutely no faith in the club now and don't really know who will come in after Johnson. But it's this reluctance to now see that Lansdowns tenure hasn't delivered anything. I don't know who takes over, I just know that for all the money and all the resource, the last 16 years have been a footballing failure. Why is that so hard for people to accept?

Sorry mate u r chatting absolute shit I really am not. Tell me the high points of the last 10 years and then ask yourself if Steven Lansdown is happy thats all you could produce. I wish you could back and read the countless posts I've written that are pro Lansdown. I do not doubt his passion, his commitment, his loyalty. For all his resource and accumin. We have not achieved anywhere near the footballing goals that I'm sure he would have set himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 High points last 10 years. Spending money trying to get new stadium. Trying to get World Cup football in Bristol. Redeveloping Ashton gate after that .winning the 1st division title as well as the Mickey Mouse cup . Plowing countless pounds into the football club . I agree his choice of managers hasn't worked out well . But like I said no disrespect u chat shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'd like to go on record and thank Steve Landsdown for saving our club. You might not have always got it right in your appointments but you have always backed them with funds and stuck by them when it's not gone so well. Me im going to carry on supporting my team through thick n thin regardless of who is our manager and the team he picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's only correct if he demands repayment of the loans which he has authorised. And does not allow us to play in the football stadium that we used to own.

I wouldn't want any other owner. But we repeat the same mistakes every year - the correlation is no coincidence. Since GJ went and he appointed Coppell, he's seemed prepared to only take risks on unproven managers or SC (who was his friend at one point!). If the club is as ambitious as he claims, we should have made more proven appointments in that time period, but since the Coppell disaster we've had a lot of unexperienced managers struggling to cope with the pressure at this level when things got tough - or SC, an experienced head, who struggled when the board let him down in that summer. I want LJ to do well and I still think selling Kodjia without a replacement was an absolute disaster and is the reason we are in the state we're in now but I'm running out of excuses for him - the squad should still be better than 13 losses in 17 games. However, I just know we will repeat the cycle again, appoint a new manager and be in a similar position this time next year. I honestly don't know what the best course of action is. SC. was Keith Dawes friend / choice / reccomended wasn't he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football league trophy What have I missed? Apart from a brand new multi-million pound stadium and first class training facilities, not much. Agreed, we could, or maybe should be doing better considering the amount of money SL has invested over the last 15 years, but without his investment we could easily be like R"vers and barely have a pot to piss in. I personally think we are very lucky to have someone who has the clubs best interests at heart, rather than an owner who's in it for the ROI. Don't forget, we have the added bonus of Jon Lansdown to take over when Steve decides to step aside. Admittedly, current results are heartbreakingly bad, but it's comforting to know that we will have continuity at ownership level for a long time to come yet. I still feel we will be where we all want to be in the near future, we just have to be patient and eventually it will happen. Wether that's with LJ at the helm is an entirely different argument, and not one I can be arsed to get into at the moment, as my post is about SL only.

bristolcitysweden Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I can see three more well established players coming in before the end of the month. The current situation will force it to happen. SL will not give up on LJ but things must change very soon. Three more signings is inevitable.

Here here - where would we be without SL, we have an amazing stadium, he has invested in training facilities, academy etc but yet we have a thread on this forum moaning about the players tunnel not being ready! I wanted it to work with Lee but never felt really comfortable with is appointment, although there was never really a favourite for me to succeed Cotterill. Both Ashtons appointment and Taylor's were both brilliant and we should not forget this, we have a good squad we just need someone to sort this out - unfortunately Lee is not going to do this.

Without BCFC there would be no BS. As I mentioned on a thread the other day, AC-Milan AND Inter play in the San Siro which is owned by the council and they've both done OK.
