Benjam!n Ultra Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Quite clearly a record losing run, awful performances, LJ basically confirming he's lost the changing room and us dropping at an alarming rate is not enough for SL to shift his adopted son on. It absolutely stinks. We are likely to probably see LJ get help (not pain relief help but actual assistance) rather than him admit he was WRONG. Again. And getting turned over by the Gas next year is gonna be even worse than what's happening now. So do you still have faith in SL? Anyone know anyone with a few (lots!) million lying around?

Phileas Fogg Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Depends on what's being asked. Do I have faith in SL to do his role with good intentions, leaving us financially stable, backing his managers and investing in the club - yes. Do I have faith in SL to make the best footballing decisions for this club - no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brizzlelou Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I've said no just because of his dubious decision making recently. Love the guy for all he's put into the club but some of his decisions of late are slightly worrying. Still think we're lucky to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'd take him over any other owner in football. That interview this morning is testing my patience though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hankey Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ive not answered the poll as im really not sure anymore. As Phileas Fogg said, i have faith in him not leaving us in the shit financially, but he doesnt half make some bad mistakes in the most important aspect of the club. When us and the rugby go down, however, i wouldnt be overly suprised if he gives up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 @Fordy62 Any other owner? He is excellent in some ways but any other owner? Peter Coates? Steve Gibson- from a similar perspective. Huw Jenkins- before he sold out to the Americans, Steve Parish similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 People love a hyperbolic reaction to a standard issue comment, don't they? What owner in history has come out and said 'I've completely lost faith in the little shit and the sooner I see the back of the waffly turd the better' ?

Gert Mare Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I don't know what the **** he is doing anymore? I thought he was learning but then failed to invest in the squad when Cotts took us up which ended up with us struggling, Cotts losing the plot and ultimately his sacking after his post match outbursts. Then Lee comes in after Pembo had already switched us to 4-4-2 and both Kodjia, Tomlin and even Wilbs when called upon we're getting goals. Then this season Lansdown lavishes Lee with cash and he spends spends spends on players that are either not playing, not up to it, or simply underperforming. Personally, I can't see any improvement in quality in terms of the players that we have signed versus the ones that have left?, and we are heading into oblivion at an alarming rate with SL saying "La la la, not listening to anyone, this is my plan, my way, my rules" and then crossing his fingers praying that the inevitable doesn't happen. But make no mistake if the inevitable does happen then regardless of how much money he has put into the club I can't see any way back for him if we end up playing the Gas next year back in League 1?!!!!!!

Red-Robbo Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Whether you have "faith" in the owner is completely irrelevant. Unless you personally have a bank account with many, many zeros in it and can make him an offer, he is going nowhere until he decides to sell.

And Its Smith Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Poor poll. Faith that he won't ruin this football club? Yes Faith in his ability to surround himself with good football people? No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we are a FOOTBALL CLUB.(duh) Financially stable maybe, but if we're not getting results on the pitch and moving in the right direction, then there's not really much else to say - so I've put no. Tired of hearing the transition and project BS too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grove park city Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Full of good intentions for the club but some awful managerial decisions made what with the Ashton Vale project dragging on and finally collapsing in 2013 McInnes and O'Driscoll both got ditched in the same year. Keith Dawes choice comes in not greatly received by a lot of fans but 2 successes before being booted out in comes another S L pick Lee Johnson which was widely seen as a accident waiting to happen. When this bloody Bristol Sport concept came along the football seemed even more irrelevant in the grand scheme of things as the club slides downward and nothing seems to happen, yes we are lucky to have a bloke like S.L but i haven't got faith in what he is doing anymore.

AppyDAZE Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 There's backing your manager (coach) and then there's trying to justify this sequence of results under LJ. Defending the inexcusable. Yes he's put loads of money in , yes he got a fantastic stadium YES we want him as our owner... BUT Steve, just do what's right ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
