Hard. Especially when it’s all caused by our own failing. Massive misread of the mood to be posting farewell montages and lengthy articles talking about how we'll all miss him. Can anyone point me to the articles where Rovers did the same when we signed Taylor? No because even those six fingered clowns knew how to read the mood of the fan base. Well said B. It’s so far off what their ‘customers’ are feeling right now it’s untrue. Making out he’s reached the pinnacle by joining them. Embarrassing.

Citychuds Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Dear Bobby This is a hard letter to write as you have been in my life for a what seems like forever. I saw the end coming, in truth we probably both did. We buried our heads in the sand but today is the day we say good bye. After calming down I realise why you made the choice you did, you knew it would hurt me but its what you want. I wish you luck, I hope it works out (I dont think it will but you can prove me wrong cant you). Unfortunately, as much as I wish you luck and I wanted us to be friends, we cant. Thats just the way it is. cheers I just took the letter I sent my ex when we split up and changed the name on it!! Oh and took out the bit about us not having goodbye sex, but other than that it just seemed to fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Message on social media from Bobby “I’ve got ambitions and aspirations I want to fulfil and one of those is the Premier League and I have an opportunity now to showcase my talent on the big stage. “I want you to understand that for any other reason it wouldn’t have been that. “It’s the Premier League and I may only get one opportunity to play there. “I didn’t want to let that pass me and regret that in the future.” “The past 18 years since I was seven I’ve been with Bristol City and I’ve loved every single minute of it. “I’ve shared every single moment with you and the memories we’ve made will live with me forever so I want to thank all for that. “I gave everything on and off the field for the club, fans may hate me and fans may still like me. “You’re all entitled to your own opinions and however you feel I’ll still love the club and will still be looking out for the results and hopefully the club can progress in the future.” “I just want any of the players in the academy that are watching now to really work hard because there is a pathway for you at the club. “If you are really ambitious, grounded and willing to work hard you will make it to the first team and stay there for a long time. “Everyone [at the academy] has really helped me out, Raphael Burke, David Horseman, Pete Coleman and a special mention to Roger Barton who helped me in my early days.” The Robins fan favourite ended with a last message for the whole club: “I love the club and the fans and I will forever support them.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn’t mean I have to like it. I'm also basically just going to repeat what I said yesterday. If having him go to Cardiff and do the Ayatollah for an the extra £1 or £2m to the club is so important (and I agree it normally should be), I trust that SL will be reprimanding everyone who has wasted similar sums on Engvall, Eliasson, Moore, and Diony (at a guess also £1m+ in salary and loan fee). Or put another way, if this was the West Brom / Derby bid with one of those above players as makeweight, it wouldn't be such a great deal everyone is making out. LJ and MA have seemed happy to write off that amount countless times already on their experiments, why suddenly get precious now? Screw the additional £1m or so when it means we get humiliated as one of the finest products of our system goes to a rival team who were our peers just six months ago. LJ and MA have seemed happy to write that amount off countless times already on their experiments, why get precious now. I'd have let him go to WBA for £8m, they'll be going back up soon enough. And before anyone says but we don't have to play Bobby Reid this way. A) We all know he'll be back here the season after next in a Cardiff shirt (unless boy wonder gets us relegated). B) Didn't seem to matter for Flint, did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 13 minutes ago, Bianconeri said: What a load of nonsense. We sold an asset that we developed from zero for £10m. Cardiff have all the risk but we stand to benefit further if it works out and he moves on for a bigger fee. That is a purey commercial, economic transaction. The ‘one of our own’ emotion pays no bills. As I’ve already said I’m talking purely about the clubs use of social media in the aftermath of the transfer. I’m NOT talking about the transfer itself. Weve just sold our biggest asset to our bitter rivals. Any club knows that this is NOT something that you crow about after the event like you’ve pulled off a master stroke. The commercials of the deal are very good but the general mood is one of disappointment and anger about the circumstances that led to this becoming reality. It’s not the time for goal montages and strings of tweets about how much we love and miss him ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just gone well above and beyond expected, and not gone overboard with spending. In today's market 10m is nothing for English talent. Even if we are relegated, we still have parachute payments, along with some top quality proven championship players still contracted to us.

sh1t_ref_again Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 The only crumb of comfort is, I 'm glad he has gone to the prem and I can understand is motive, he may not have had the same success this year and the chance would have passed. Had he gone to WBA and his goals helped them gain promotion over us (perhaps a bit like Flinty) I would not be happy. A least this way we get to pass them when they come down.

Tomlin's a great player, just didn't really get the chance to play for us and didn't get himself match fit. But I'm sure the £1.5m we payed for Tomlin wasn't a massive kick in the teeth. The last minute equaliser he scored at Reading away got us the extra point which grabbed us 2nd place. So maybe the £1.5m seems like a bargain.

RedLionLad Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 56 minutes ago, Spike said: For all the people attacking him for doing the Ayatollah he's no longer our player, he has to appeal to the fans of the club he plays for and being as many of them are loving this picture it's obviously working. If you quit one job to go to a rival company you wouldn;t walk in and be like "screw you guys, I'm not doing that, it'll upset my previous employer" and risk being hated by everyone at your new job. The club got £10m for him, he could have gone for £500k and we would have been happy this time last year so let's not play the victim or abuse the guy. He worked hard this season and now he's been given a platform to perform at the highest level of English football. If next year a club offers £30m for him after a great first season and he moves again would you still hate him knowing we got a nice sell on clause in place? Honestly, Bobby got his fair share of abuse here when he wasn't performing, now he takes his opportunity to move up in his career and suddenly everyone is acting like he was our hero, he only got that status this season. Yes it's a bloody bitter pill to swallow where he's gone but I honestly don't see many, if any, other Premier League clubs offering what Cardiff did so the way I see it is he's no longer our player, he can have a bluebird tattoo for all I care but he's earned that chance and he's got the club a nice wedge of cash to reinvest, now my only concern is can I trust Ashton and Johnson to reinvest it well...
