We don't want to watch an entertaining team of a Saturday, we want "the right man, in the right meeting, with the right people" . What an absolute pile of utter horse shit Lansdown comes out with sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant spending money to back the manager with players he knows will do a job. the post is responded too said he demanded those players.... he was backed in a way he wouldn’t have been here.

I’m reassured that there are still some loyal City fans around who don’t spend all their time posting ‘witty’ and desperately repetitive one-liners about anyone who works at Ashton Gate.

He clearly can but sometimes people deliberately put utter ****s in charge on their behalf as they judge they are more trustworthy because they don't have consciences.

Will b11 Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 1 hour ago, Midlands Robin said: For me, this is the most troubling statement because it highlights the problem. Nobody expects a club our size to sign Pep Guardiola or anyone at that level of football management. What it shows though is Steve recognises that we need the best manager we can get at our level. You will never convince me that the right man for the job at the time was Dean Holden. That it no way fits with the above statement. Managers who had achieved real success at Championship level, who were interested in the job and wanted to have it, were available. How come he didn’t appoint the best manger at our level back in august then if they were available go get ? (e.g hughton) or do you think he appointed Holden on purpose for COVID reasons ?

Simon bristol Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Ive just read gregors write up on this.... firstly, jon lansdown is in the carribean pursuing personal interests at the moment,, and mark ashton presented 3 left backs for consideration in the transfer window, and this was rejected, but we obviously signed lansbury!!!

Kingswood Robin Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Merrick's Marvels said: What he means is my position. As in, "I admit I don't have a clue about football so I've employed someone who assures me he does". As in, "I used to have a Chief Exec* who let Cotterill and Burt set up deals for Gray, Maguire, Gayle until I heard how much it would cost, refused to fund the deals, got shot of the Chief Exec, ruined my relationship with our most successful manager in years and employed a puppet CEO to make sure no-one but me decided how to spend my money - me, the bloke who has already confessed to knowing jack shit about football" * Wish I could remember the name of the CEO before Ashton - left un expectedly without any real explanation, obviously connected to the fact that, on his watch, Cotterill and Burt had pressed ahead with setting up deals for players Lansdown didn' want to pay for Was it Andrew Billingham?

The Constant Rabbit Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Lansdowns rattled. City being in League One removes a lot of potential buyer interest. Being in the Championship leaves the door to the Prem open for new owners. It's all about the possibility of relegation. If we had 5 more points on the board, and relegation was all but impossible - SL would not have come on air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 5 hours ago, Top Robin said: Mentioning 'hindsight is a wonderful thing' is his way of indirectly admitting they may have made mistake back then. You never really use this word unless you are talking about something you could have done better. A lift out of the Boris Johnson phrasebook. Make a clanging big error - which many people tell you is a clanging big error at the time - then months later when the chickens have come home to roost because of your error, blithely say "hindsight is a wonderful thing" when anyone criticises you for it. It isn't hindsight you need be concerned, Lansdown, it's foresight: having the foresight to see that an inexperienced coach, wedded to the style of a bloke who you just sacked for his boring and inconsistent style of football, was not going to achieve your supposed play-off ambitions. The foresight to see that the presence of a former West Brom youth team goalie on a vast salary for an, at best, extremely hit-and-miss recruitment strategy, is going to stop the club from ever recruiting any manager worth his salt. In the shares business you were a sharp operator. What happened?! WAKE UP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
