AppyDAZE Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I just saw one of them ostriches. Yeah. Apparently (and I never knew this) they live in Guernsey, and they come out every couple of weeks for a little chat. if you're lucky. There is a lovely little Youtube video of a certain Adam Baker with one. marvellous stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 You haven't got a clue. If you think that SL involvement is every couple of weeks you are as thick as you sound. Part of me just wants all you SL haters to force him out of the club just to see what it would be without him. clueless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between hating (which I DON'T) and spotting when he is seriously ***king things up by being stubborn. As for being thick, yeah cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought the interview wasn't very convincing tbh. Listen to the way Adam Baker asks the questions. Do you honestly think that he (Adam) backs LJ ?

It's convincing as he actually does believe the decision he's making regarding LJ is the right one.

cheshire_red Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Adam is a fan as well as it being his job. He started one of the first City websites @Olé being one of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall his son and Keith Dawe are the main directors in charge of running the club. I don't want SL out, as he evidently bankrolls this hobby of ours. But he needs to trust his board, he is just being too stubborn and it then leaves him open to criticism. Let's face it, we've gone nowhere for 10 years. We may have a new stadium, but we stand to lose millions if we go down, again. 4 years in the future and the yoyo is rewound, due to some other form of mismanagement or misinvestment. We just need efficiency but it's avoided us for the same period of time mentioned also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 SL deserves criticism where its due, the same with praise. Today is the former. He should learn to cope with it if he can't. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Assuming he is still worth $ 1.88 Billion (around £1.5 Billion), then if he’s put in circa £100 Million, that’s around 6.64% of his net worth. Let’s say the average net worth of a UK household is £375,000 then 6.64% of that is £24,900. That wouldn’t break the bank for a loft extension or a nice conservatory on a loan or additional mortgage facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need efficiency but it's avoided us for the same period of time mentioned also. The royal 'we'. You stand to lose nothing but pride. SL will be the one who loses millions for the 15th consecutive year. Jon landsown is vice chair of the football and director of bristol rugby. Keith dawe is a director but has stepped back due to serve health problems. The day to day running is down to Andrew billington who is CEO of bristol sport. As for going nowhere in 10 years? I disagree, we are at the level we should be for our investment and history. We are at best a lower league championship team . That's a realistic view. It's cost SL £100million plus to get that far. Now as we are set off the field we are 1 good managerial appointment away from raising those ambitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. I too wish wish he would pull the trigger but your stance against the man with the money is embarrassing. Like I said - if you know someone willing to pump there dough in, please tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 You want Johnson out but you're fine with SL defending a bloke that can barely win a football match to save his life. OK I respect your choice... PS I'm not anti-SL but I think he is being a plonker over Lee All about opinions. Enjoy your weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
