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. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maltshoveller Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 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 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richwwtk Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 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.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
