I'm seriously considering calling it a day for the season, I mean what would you do if you were me? I live 25 minutes from AG, and I'm seriously considering calling it a day for this season!

I never said he was a Moron. Hargreaves was the driving force, Lansdown the bean counter. It's a shame Hargreaves isn't the City fan. Lansdown has been brilliant with the new stadium but the nepotism of getting his son to run the club is galling. This is a multi million pound business not a bloody Sunday fete. Also Lansdown has had limited influence at HL for some time. Others have taken the company to the next level (I assume he is still on the board but not an exec?)

One consistently with our club... failure!!! Fully agree. We are absymal and SL either has his head buried truly in the sand or he is literally best mates with LJ. What's happening at the moment is a complete and utter joke and I will fully blame SL if/when it sends us crashing down to league one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 10 hours ago, JonDolman said: I genuinely believe Lansdown will sack Johnson when we are in the bottom 3. Which might not happen as we really should beat burton. It might be because in the contract it says he can sack him without a pay off. If that's the case, then it kind of makes sense. If we didn't have Lansdown then we'd probably be a league 1 club. And not necessarily a very good one. Really? The way we're playing at the moment, we won't beat anyone this season.

Bazooka Joe Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Where's Mark Ashton now that the sh^t has fully hit the fan? -pun intended! He's ducking undercover. (Note to Mods - the word is "ducking") Quick to take the accolades when things seemed to be going well. Time for him to stand up and be counted.

Padlad Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Landsdown cares there is no question of that, you wouldn't pump this much of your own money into this if you didn't. Normally Steve has acted sooner though in similar situations (Millen,SC) So why the difference now? i can only infer its other influences. Who is different near the top with a vested interest? MA although this is all conjecture. What clear is that sooner or later LJ has to go and his position has been untenable for some time. I see no reason to delay so we can move on. This from someone who was very happy with the management setup and wanted to give LJ every chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel the need to resort to childish insults at the OP because he has come out and said the reality that we all know but dont want to face? Look in the mirror pal. Lansdown pisses away millions year after year and the return from his investment is utter drivel. His blind faith in Johnson and reluctance to remove an absolute loser from the club is is akin to gross incompetence. The fact that we stand to meet our tramp neighbours in league action next season tells us everything we need to know about the absolute failure Lansdowns "project" is fast becoming, So, you think one post is childish and another post isn't? The issue you have with SL pissing his money away. I'll be trite and say, 'it's his money, he can do with it what he likes'. It is clear you, along with BU and others, don't value what SL has done for City. That you get many thumbs up for such a view, well we do live in interesting times. An ironic That you believe that Bristol City FC is some investment vehicle for SL is quite comical. If this was the case, he'd have cut his losses and run a long time ago.

We are the ones continually let down by the result of SLs decision making. Its ludicrous to say he can do what he wants with his money when those actions are producing a piss poor product for us fans who pay hundreds every year to watch it. There comes a time when uncomfortable questions need to be asked and with a second relegation in 5 years looming, that time is now. The real drivel is the fact that you think that SL is beyond questioning and are happy to sit back and watch us join those pennyless bunch of tramps in league 1. If that really is the case then League 1 football is what you deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beni71 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 IMO we are lucky to have SL. He has a passion for the City, wants the team(s) to succeed on and off field. He has made an error of judgement on LJ but castigating him on this decision and the abuse he has taken is well out of order. He's a human being, has feelings and through business has had to develop thick skin. Lesser people would have walked away from the club. I wouldn't see many investors waiting to pick up the BCFC debt mountain. I'm sure a number will say that's his decision that gave us the debt mountain but in my view shows his commitment to succeed. Obviously lots more to do....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
