TedsHeadIs Red Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 For a club with a history like ours (perpetually underachieving and largely unsuccessful in the lower divisions) the number of rants and tantrums about the fact we are having a dodgy season in the 2nd tier is unbelievable. When were last in the top tier?....let me think, oh yes 1980 for 4 seasons (and then what happened?!). And the time before that? Pre first world war methinks. The last time we won a major trophy? We were in Europe? Get back to me on those. Get a grip people. Keep the current situation in perspective in comparison to the past. We might even stay up and do ok next season!

Your right when you say "for a club with a history like ours" but you forget that we are consistently fed the line about making it to the Premiership plus Lansdown in one particularly "senior" moment even saying we could be one of the biggest clubs in the country - ie the suits continually raise expectations. Then they fail to deliver on that talk. That's why people get frustrated. That's why this season when we've got more going for us than ever before, and expectations were again raised by the powers that be only to be dashed by the most incompetent manager in our history, feelings are running especially high. Lansdown has led us up the garden path again. It's not as simple as you are making out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest that we show our support in our own ways - you in exile and me in the Dolman! No one needs to be lynched, employing a football manager whose capable of doing the job would be sufficient. You would then have 20k at Ashton Gate supporting the team with a passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepton red Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 4 hours ago, Knappster said: If he is true to his word he is a fan and not just a manager and to earn respect he would resign. I wish he would stop this 'I love the club' nonsense. I would love my employer if they had paid me for doing my job as handsomely as LJ has been. You love the club when you travel to away games, when you spend your money to follow the club, when you put petrol in your car or buy rail/bus tickets to follow the club. i would have a connection with the club if they paid me to play for them (thanks pops) and then come back and manage that club.

054123 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 8 hours ago, Bat Fastard said: Well that is one way of looking at it EMB. It seems to me that a number of mistakes have been made and it is unclear who is to blame. SL has sold his idea of developing our own young talent in order to help create a more self sustaining club. This is a wonderful idea - and he sold it to MA and LJ amongst others. We spent a significant amount of the transfer budget on players who were too young to really make an impact. The experienced players, such as GON (who has ended up being a bit of a sicknote and is clearly struggling for fitness), Matthews, who seems to have all sorts of motivational problems that should not be part of the make-up of an international player, and Lee Tomlin, who has blown hot and cold and been a shadow of the palyer we saw last season. Injuries to Korey Smith and others have proved to be troublesome. This has been a difficult season with the end of the previous loan system, bigger squads to keep happy and some unbelievable refereeing decisions e.g. Alby's goal against Burton, that would have given us two more points and them one less. There have been 8 other instances where the referees association has written to the club to apologise for similarly terrible decision - and this has cost us a number of points, that should have us in mid table. From what I can see, SL has seen the fortitude that LJ has brought to the job and is backing him in the face of adversity - he knows what is really happening within the club. Meanwhile, the mob are baying for blood and applying even more tension and stress on to the players. I have tried to speak out in support and urged people to leave all this negative stuff until the end of the season. Right now we need to pull together to win every point we can to avoid the drop so that we can push on next season. Sorry if that does not fit with your view of matters, but there it is! Why is there a mob baying for blood. I've believed in Lansdown for almost a decade and been let down by his false promises and unguided, uneducated ambition. It's clear to me he has no idea on how to deliver on any of his dreams, so whilst he clearly has the resource to achieve them, needs to step away and trust who does know to get on with it. It'll cost more than he thinks but that's life. As for Johnson, he's proven at Barnsley and City that he is not up to the job and should be relieved of his post. It's really quite simple for all to see now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great manager, blame a kid that was on the bench while Preston shoved it up LJ's backside!. Marvelous man management skills, every time we lose a player singled out for blame.

I can see mistakes and problems - but I can also see that the club and BS are making gargantuan efforts to build something that we can all be proud to support. Everyone in every walk of life makes errors and that does not mean that they are hopeless and without chance of redemption. I have learned to be patient because things take time to grow and develop - and I can see the plan growing and developing. Of course there are problems - but I have heard nothing from all these negative threads that has offered a truly viable solution. I appreciate the time, effort and money that SL has lavished on this club - for the benefit of us supporters. You can question his motives, but I think he is well motivated. You can question his choice of staff, but I think that he has always tried to do his best for the club. A cursory glance around the whole football league shows that most managers only last for a short time - and I feel that many good babies have been chucked out with the bathwater only to be replaced by some right horrors. SL likes to give youth a chance - and I applaud him for that, because old codgers are not the future. I will continue to support on Saturday against a Wolves team that have won 5 on the trot and will pose a massive challenge to our team, who are probably lacking in confidence right now. I feel that positive support right now is better than bitterness and vitriol aimed at the manager or any other member of staff. Hopes and dreams are great in life so long as you live in the here and now and that has simply been ignored to a great degree, it should have been built slowly on a solid base not quickly and on shifting sands and it should have been done with a manager who has served his apprenticeship not somebody with no success at all and brought in because he used to be an incredibly average ex player and his dad had success as our manager once. BCFC fans have been short changed once more by short sightedness and an owner full of great ideas and pillars but short on the exactly how to realise those ideas, they have singularly got behind the club and are rightfully angry, they have had enough and there is sweet FA in the way of communication coming out of the club. I cannot recall a manager ever who has managed to alienate most of the 19 players he has signed and some signed less than 3 months ago, that must be some record indeed to go along his other BCFC records. And you are suggesting that if we are on the wrong end of another expected dicking on Saturday, the fans should merely turn the other cheek once more?. You are right about questioning his appointments and it is very telling that yet another person today has suggested that there is reason why BCFC struggle to appoint quality managers. As for your sentence about the mob, well judging by some of your comments on politics forum you should definitely know all about mobs because to paraphrase from the life of Brian "you should know you've followed a few".

The first part of your post is your opinion and there are many who do not agree with your guesses as to what went on behind the doors of Ashton Gate. i believe that Wolves have just won 5 games on the trot - this will not be an easy game for our players. The mob will hopefully support the team - but they are not totally trustworthy. If we go a goal down they could turn ugly (uglier?) and that could harm us further. We shall have to wait and see. As for my political posts, they are principled and sincere - you just rubbish every politician - fun for someone with your type of character, but misses the point that someone has to do something, sometimes or the country cannot work. That means politicians working in difficult situations that often cause conflicts with their beliefs. Neither they (or I) am perfect - that is your domain.

petehinton Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Listening to this just now and I get even more shocked with the shit he comes out with. He's complained that the squad is too big. About a year after saying he needs 3 transfer windows. And less than a year after signing the players that made the squad ''too big''. Said that he knows what's best for the club and for his family which is why he hasn't resigned. Jesus. Also confirmed that the players said they'd refund the fans, but not that he will be. I honestly can't believe the guy at times. Also said that it's wrong to single out players, even though he singled out Hodur on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
