Is there some unwritten rule for the Gas (Possibly the "Tilson" rule) that they can't pay over £321k for player? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other possibility is that they appeared to have disregarded is that this new investor couldn't afford to buy Bristol City. I think some of them think the new investor is the Crown Prince of Jordan or something due to some speculative horseshit posted by a user yesterday?

Well they must be getting ready to deliver some bad news as this little rumour has its own thread over there. Look there’s a new investor « *Gas Works* New investor DrFaustus Reserve Team 39 minutes ago kernowtoteend, stuart1974, and 2 more like this Quote An 82er mate of mine reckons we may be getting new investors from the Middle East. Just passing on the message and he's normally bang on with stuff, so please don't shoot the messenger. If the last investor in the jesters from the middle east is anything to go by, expect more tents, lots of riddles and more deafening silence when questions are being asked. Oh, and a nice watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Haven't those morons also moved the turnip patch they play on away from the white elephant stand? So its highly likely that the Barnsley away fans will be sqeezed onto that 5hitty bit of terracing with half of it now beyond the pitch.

We are a distraction that is driving the thoughts of their supporters and short termism. They would be better doing their own thing, at their own pace. Develop the squad as an asset to become a regular top end of L1 club. These things, when done correctly, do actually take time! They aren't being done correctly though.

Oh I agree, and that's how we would treat things, City's ambition is to be the best and finish top half of the prem Rovers ambitions is to finish 1 place above city, That's what hold them back, they care more about what we are doing and not about what idiot owners have done to their club, It's that short termism that got them relegated from the football league 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
