The Nest Egg Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Whether this idiot stays or goes, it doesn't matter. The damage has been done. We were not a fashionable club for players anyway, but any sliver of reputation we had is gone now. We are the definition of second division failure. Other chairmen sack their managers if the do badly against us- we are the true whipping boys of this league. Most of Johnson's signings have been expensive failures. It's like we did a condensed version of our last time in the Championship in just two seasons; only without the best bit in the playoff final. I reached apathy ages ago, and unfortunately we have just become the definition of 'jobs for the boys'. I don't see this leaving with Lansdown in charge. He likes his yes men and seems to think that we care if he gets along with them. Maybe he should busy himself with the new Bristol Sport backgammon team or whatever they are doing now. We will be relegated and decline in L1. And the saddest part is that while the fans do not deserve it, the club, players and staff all do. Sadly, they'll stay in the financially lucrative circlejerk that is Bristol City Football Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's talks a great game but can't deliver. People think he saved us from something, what?? What would be different if he wasn't here and others were in place? It's just a ******* failure.

Warwickshire Red Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 LJ out MA out SL - start looking for a buyer please. Sad to say but despite the obvious investment off the pitch, you've taken this club as far as you can on it and it's time for new leadership.

BigAl&Toby Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Lansdown is a ******* clown. He's made more money than I'll ever have but as I've been saying for ages he has no real interest in BCFC. I've given up trying to work out what he wants but he's had BCFC over good and proper. And so have these assholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable, my only worry is that as can be seen on here the feeling of Lansdown needing to sell up and move on becoming more than just a small minority. Most of these call are coming from us having one (very) bad season, if this feeling were to transfer to the fan base as a whole who knows what we could land ourselves with instead.

This is where we slightly disagree. I'm of the opinon that Lansdown has cocked up ever since the January window in 2008. The club has never focused on the football. He has spent money in all the wrong places. 10 years of failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every manager has been backed financially, if he removes himself from decision making in hiring managers then there's not much more you could ask of him really.

Lansdown has proved time and time again he is not fit for purpose when selecting Managers. But it is his toy and no one else is allowed to play. It is an insult to City fans.

Yozzarian Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's not Johnson who has set us back. I mean, it is. He is woeful at this level but I've never doubted he is trying his best. The real issue is the poor leadership of this club. It's no coincidence that both City and the Rugby team look like going down this year. Something has been attempted on the cheap albeit for admirable reasons; sadly though, sustainable, gradual improvement can only be attempted with one position filled by real talent. A talent that costs money in the shape of a seasoned, talented manager. Picking Johnson because he was cheap was a mistake but fine it was done. The real travesty was not correcting that decision months ago out of sheer stubbornness. Well, we are reaping what we sow. My highest priority is no longer survival in the Champ but seeing Johnson sacked before next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
