M.D Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I stand by what I thought earlier, lose today and LJ is gone.. I thought that interview was uncomfortable and so it should have been, I think SL knows now his decision to stick or twist was wrong but he can't come out and say that in plain speaking can he, he's got to back him publicly until he sacks the guy.

The Nest Egg Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Moral of the story: SL only cares if you stick a couple of million quid into the club. Well Steve, despite the fact that I can't afford to get a helicopter to the Blackburn game like you it isn't stopping me from going, or feeling strongly about the way my team is going. Bristol City existed before you and will exist after you. Now please share your expensive red toy with the plebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Easily the most depressing thing about the interview is confirmation that LJ will remain if we do so in the Championship. If we stay up it will be in spite of him, not because of him. We can look forward to a very similar season all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 We bought Taylor in but his views didn't fit ours. Why bring him in then? One of the top scouts in European football but you know better. Unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my club and I'll do what I want with who I want basically. Yep, fair play to GT. With that attitude from Lansdown, he can stick his club for his mates right up his ringer! Arrogant ****t!

Dastardly and Muttley Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Still digesting that interview. One of SL's worst, no doubt. No wonder Ashton shied away from Twentyman a few weeks ago, Geoff would tear him apart. Lansdown ducked most of the questions, contradicted himself, managed to patronise the supporters on more than one occasion and left me feeling bewildered about the leadership of our club. What's the point of the board if any decision they make requires approval from SL, who's not on the board? Fans are taken for granted, 65% of the way to 12k season tickets and the fans will be there in 20 years times. SL spends more money than the fans. Complete floundering when Geoff asked about what LJ is doing right off the pitch. Mentioned U23 players filling in for injuries and the long term plan - that's not what's happening though, is it? Players like Reid, Hegeler, Wilbraham, Taylor and now Magnusson are now filling in gaps. The only real example of this has been O'Dowda, and Brownhill in spells. My only crumb of comfort was that "Preston won't be allowed to happen again". If it does, I get the feeling LJ's gone if we get beaten heavily today. Biggest takeaway was how distant and clueless SL was about the fan's feelings. Fair play to Geoff for asking the questions - a better job of getting info to the fans than our own SLO.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 So Steve ''I am considerably more wealthy than yow'' Lansdown puts the boot into the life blood of the club once more, that is disgraceful. And his comments about Des Taylor says everything you need to know about the circus that he is the ring master of, didn't the ******* philosophy of which he talks of ever come up in his interview ffs. I call bullshit Steve I suspect MA wanted more control than Taylor was prepared to allow and that is the reason we have been lumbered with so much dross in the last 3 windows.

Northern Red Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 "Preston won't happen again" - What he actually means is that they won't be reimbursing people again.... To be fair, I don't think anyone should be shocked by the revelation that LJ will be here next season if we stay up. That was always on the cards. I said yesterday that Geoff has been very good when interviewing recently and once again he hasn't let us down. Suspect Steve wasn't expecting that to be as full on as it was, and it might be some time before we hear from him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
