CotswoldRed Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I've as much hope for the immediate future as a Zimbabwean under Robert Mugabe. We're still playing inept football after a criminal run of form that shows no sign of abating. Its like having an old man in charge of the club who's lost his marbles who cannot see the pain and torment he's causing. I hate this club right now. We're rudderless and have a lamentable case of ignorance and apathy at the very top. Surely, surely, being in the bottom three a halfwit would have ensured that we now have a get out clause which means we can kick this joker in to touch. THERE SHOULD NOW BE NO REASON TO KEEP HIM EMPLOYED. For all his wealth, its clear Lansdown is gravely lacking in football knowledge and knowhow. Anyone with an appreciation of the game will know that the way the players are playing we have little chance of winning more than 1 in 10. I'll not be going back again this season with LJ at the helm. I'll invest a little more time with my family. See you at AG next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm not going back until SL sorts this shit out. I mean he said he wouldn't let us go down, but if we do I won't be back until we come back up because this has been suicide and the majority of fans were against keeping LJ in place but were ignored and then blamed. No more of my hard earned money until it is put right and we are back in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you comparing LJ or SL of Bristol City (a football club) to Robert Mugabe, a man who has perpetrated crimes against humanity, violence, starvation to his own people? what an odd analogy At least say, we're shit, we're being run poorly etc. without comparing to a desperate situation those people are in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we don't actually play or win the games, but that League One Championship season saw me spend an awful lot of time and money travelling around the country to urge the players on. If that's all going to be thrown away in the most unnecessary relegation in my time then I'm with you...let SL sort out the mess in League One and I'll pop back when we've returned to where we should, with the squad we have, comfortably be. Frankly, after decades traveling the country, life's too short for many more days spent watching lower league football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way that it is being arrogantly thrown away when we have been absolutely begging for change is the straw that broke the camels back for me (to quote John Sitton). Fair enough if we have just been unlucky but I have never seen the self destruct button pressed like this in all my years supporting City. I honestly can't believe this is happening for real?! It's like the worst nightmare apart from going bust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted I agree that League One used to be our level, but you only have to look at our setup now to realise that compared to most sides in League One it would be like them coming to Wembley.... well certainly for Rovers anyway.

Now it is yes but the academy etc has so under utilised in the past that we are still behind in terms of development, alot of that can be pointed at Johnson Senior...

handsofclay Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 We have been, apart from the odd blip, too good for League One but not good enough for the Championship since the early 1980s. We haven't always been promoted from the third level when we have been too good for it and we haven't always been relegated from level two when we haven't been good enough for it. I agree with Cheesleysmate that the stadium and infrastructure is now up to Championship, even Premier class. However, on the pitch sod all has changed. Unfortunately, it is what happens on the pitch which determines our league position and I have still to see anything yet which says we are good enough for the Championship, let alone too good for it!

shelts Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 It'll be a shame that some are going to Boycott the Gate until LJ is gone. For me I've paid for a season ticket so will see it out until the end of the season . Next season it might be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lads coming through all seem to have certain problems that you know can't be ironed out of them. Apparently our under 23's are doing well? One thing is for sure, if LJ is here next season (which is looking likely) we'll see a number of them being given opportunities. We won't risk at Championship level.
