I got a gas mate who still works at whore field and he says there’s trouble at mill , players aren’t happy with new manager  or clubs new head chief as he’s got rid of nearly everyone. Loan players are apparently asking to return to parent clubs in January oh dear  

Wonder what the owners son did in his previous roles to get such a senior position. I mean, it isn't as if they'd need to look that far down the road to understand that a wealthy owner might not always make the best appointment by giving their child a role.

They've installed the owners son to run the show and he's apparently causing chaos (not a wind up).

All their coaching staff have left, not sure if they were sacked or just walked out.

This made me laugh;

"Out of curiosity.
Does anybody know whether when Pearson was sacked at 1982ltd all of his coaches were also replaced ?"

They so want to be like us.

Heard similar earlier. 

Sounds like they are absolutely falling apart. All the coaches have left as they were all Barton’s men and he had been given so much power there they’ve all gone with him, including director of football. New owners son who’s really young has been put in charge to run the day to day and has no idea what he’s doing.
 

Matt Taylor has gone in like a bull in a China shop, nailed the players loads and cancelled their Christmas party last minute. His assistant at Rotherham is being kept on by Richardson, so he essentially has no coaching staff to work with other than Bryan Anthony and their centre of excellence coaches having to step up.

 They’re charging £38 a ticket for some games as they’re losing so much money from the new stand delays - that is now up, and blocking the floodlights causing a decent chunk of the penalty box on that side to be in total darkness.

I don’t think being called total amateurs is even doing it justice.

I understand their new owners are property developers.

Should be interesting when they get fed up of chucking money down the drain every week..

Seems to be suggestions over on SlagChat that their CEO could be on borrowed time, no idea if that is true or not.

It would scream of owners son being able to confidently announce a reduction in running costs of 'x' amount and to highlight 'Wastage under Wally' (could be a new daytime telly show there, a bit like Homes Under The Hammer, only with rubbish).

Be interesting to see if they get the wallet open in January, or if they will go for a summer rebuild.

I really can’t believe he hasn’t been sacked. The bloke is clearly so out of his depth it’s unreal. I’m shocked at how unscathed he has come out of the stand debacle, as well as the JCH stuff too. 

[Lanterne Rouge]

So, are they still coming for us or not?

Yes he's always given the impression of the work experience boy who by some terrible mix up, has been given a powerful job.

The new stand has been an absolute fiasco, he said it would take 2 months to build and would be ready for the start of the season.

Property developers you say? And just acquired a company that owns several acres of land in BS7, one of Southern England's most sought-after and lucrative locations? Well I wouldn't imagine there's any cause for concern there.

I too heard about the rumours of the Xmas party jolly being cancelled at 'the last minute' after Saturdays dismal performance. Obviously had nothing to do with the fact we had a game last night

In whatever time i've got left on this earth i hope we never have to play you again, too many mental scars from all those defeats in the '80s !!

[Maltshoveller]

I have a few Gashead mates and like most Gasheads they keep telling me that they have just as many fans as us S###heads

Had bit of spare time the other day so done a bit of home work

 

Since the 1920 season the total attendance watching the gas at home is approx 23.27 million 

In that time City have been watched by 33.45 million

A small difference of 10.18mill

 

So if the FA ban fans from watching City until the Gas have caught up with us

Ashton Gate will be closed until the 2067/68 season 44Years!!!!

That is as long as the Gas average 10k a game between now and then 

 

God i need to get a life

[richwwtk]

If anyone listens to podcasts, this weeks episode of Sherlock & Co contains a dig at the fewers. Can't remember it exactly but it was part of a speech about how we all need human community, and if we get it via supporting a football team then that is fine, unless it's Bristol r****s!

The next line references the speaker as a Swindon fan, but at least his heart is in the right place....
