I watched the Champions League last night Feel like I’ve become a follower not a supporter. I also go to see Worthing and I’m far more upset about the way the lower leagues are being treated. Worthing have been in the auto promotion positions for 2 seasons now. Due to Covid they have suspended promotions. Decent attendances for their level. Little cash I’d imagine. The only reason I support SL’s folly is because City has been in my blood for 5 generations. Ffs I’ve never lived within 100 miles of Bristol.

Finley_Smith10 Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I beg we get Paul cook, can’t be dealing with another yes man like Appleton and a inexperienced one in Russell Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate of mine has always been a massive Newcastle fan but he says he rarely bothers with them now because he's had enough of players getting stupid amounts of money for kicking a ball around. You look at what the likes of Andy Carroll and Christan Benteke deliver for the millions they earn every year, and it's pretty sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appleton has actually got a bit about him tbf. He's got experience and is currently doing very well and had a decent time at Oxford too. But yes his early experience at this level was pretty bad however he hasn't managed in this league for while. I wouldn't be over the moon with Appleton and think its just an easy rumour to throw together being top of league 1, but he would have been a better option than Holden thays for sure.

I agree, the Appleton shout gets bound around a lot because of the links with Ashton at their time with Oxford so it’s easy to make the link. Gregor said about experience so surely we’d go for one with champ experience. The club need to get it right otherwise there will be a massive drop off in season ticket sells probably when the club need it the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s going to be a massive task to get ST sales back to pre Covid levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stops at the man that appointed both Mark Ashton and Dean Holden - Steve Lansdown. Bet it won't be....!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Suspect we will make an underwhelming short-term appointment until the end of this season - mainly because there aren’t too many quality / realistic options right now Really hope that we reevaluate our structure which limits the CEO’s role/power and gives the Head Coach more control Certainly need to massively improve on our track record re managerial appointments! Realistically I’m not optimistic, reckon we’ll end up with someone from a lower league who has ‘promise’ and MA with his current role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
