Sure he's made and is making mistakes but doesn't deserve some bellend like you slamming him. If you can step in and do better then make him an offer - else pipe down a little. no need to call me names , just my opinion i hope im allowed one .

Feelings high all round. I just don't like people knocking the owner - he is our benefactor and without him we could be a Yeovil, Exeter or Southend. I don't want to go back to the days where we couldn't buy a pot to piss in. Sure you don't either so unless someone else comes along I'm happy to wait for the next 5 year plan.

Benjam!n Ultra Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Might be a good businessman but his know how of being an owner of a football club leaves a lot to be desired. Can't think of many owners who have ploughed the amounts of millions in he has to be stuck at best as a relegation battling team in the Championship. Especially when you consider we are only about 10 places in the football pyramid higher than before he took the reigns almost 15 years ago.

Ask the fans of the many clubs that have real problems with the owners of their clubs who they'd like to have in charge because I'd actually doubt there are many fans in Britain that would wish against having a man who has put many millions of his own money into our club & for little or no thanks (or even less as is the case).

Bris Red Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Totally lost faith in the whole Lansdown family. Ive said it before and ill say it again, they are not the right people to take this club foward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elruliri Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 1982! We nearly never had a club. We've had worst times and deserve better but in SL we should be great full. He has bankrolled us to great and bad times. Atleast we haven't got Oyston or the chicken farmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And far often. I've supported this club for a very long time. Long before Steve Landsown entered the frame. There is no saying what would have happened if there was different hierarchy.

I respect Steve Lansdown, his footballing tenure here though has been an utter failure set against his goals for the club and the vastly superior resource he has compared to almost any other owner. I really don't see how that's debatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously weren't around in 1982 - I'm just immensely grateful that the only incredibly frustrating thing is the results at the moment. That probably sounds bizarre but 35 years ago we didn't know if we'd have a club to support at all. So, no, I haven't lost respect for a guy who has singlehandedly ensured that we will never have to go through that again whilst he is at the helm. And phrasing like 'LJ is destroying this club' is just inappropriate and overly emotive. He ain't destroying our club, he's just not very good at being the Head Coach...

Spike Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 5 hours ago, Eddie Hitler said: I haven't lost respect for SL; he has achieved a great deal for this club. He has built upon the vision of Scott Davidson and it to it added the financial clout to make things happen; notably the ground rebuild. At the moment he is IMHO having his judgement clouded by the personal loyalty he feels for LJ. I suspect that he is a great person for whom to work. There does though really need to be an over-rule procedure if all the other directors think that he's wrong on a particular issue. I agree but he needs to give up control of who hires and fires the manager if he's going to let it become personal as it's ruining all the other work he has done.

The Joker Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I would imagine SL is as gutted as us fans, it was a gamble and it appears/ has failed, now he has to sort it,as for respect F..k yes, how can you not, he just has to keep bashing away until it hopefully comes good, nothing in this life is written in stone.
