Every team has its day. 

Well, every team except Rovers, it appears..! 

They did have their day. They went out of the Football League when it was almost unimaginable that they could go down. A Houdini act of epic proportions. What a day that was for the whole of Bristol!

You're ahead of us on most things I'd agree, but I'd take our gaffer over yours every single day.

Don't disagree, however at least our gaffer had the balls to manage at a higher level. It seems Clarke is a bit shit scared to take the next step in his career.

DC has only really had one offer from a Championship club, and whilst I don't blame Monk for taking the Leeds job (under Cellino at the time) whilst out of work, I wouldn't blame most League 1 managers who would have turned down that opportunity whilst their managerial stock was relatively high, at that point I'd have said even a top L1 club would have been more attractive. 

Johnson to City would have been an absolute no brainer for him in that situation.

Thing is though it's pretty obvious he won't be given the budget to compete properly. It won't be long into the season before a championship club sacks their manager and if dopey is still punching above his weight with you he'd be a idiot not to look elsewhere. 

[Alan Dicks]

I may be City through and through, i may hate the Sags as much as the next bloke but i have to give DC credit where credit is due, he could have managed at championship level with Leeds, absoultly massive club compared to Rovers.

Where do you see loyalty like that in this greed fuelled day and age?

I wouldn't, so I guess we can both be happy with what we've got.

I'm not so sure that I'd take a manager with an "alleged" unhealthy interest in animals...

Did you see my explanation or can you still not understand. One big topic or fifteen hundred little ones.. y'know like all the ones you have on slag chat about us?

You yourself have contributed to this thread several times now too.. 

 

Seems your right Tomarse. Just had a look a sagchat and indeed nearly every thread starts having a dig at us. That **** from Henbury still hasn't given up on his imaginary friend.

" No doubt what so ever i will be blamed for spreading lies about our law abiding 6 fingered friends, because i got previous....

BTW our new supporter from the dark side enjoyed the game yesterday and is looking forward to the new season "

What a ******* melon.

Totally agree. I loathe the sags, hate them with every fibre of my body, but ive gained a lot of respect for him for not jumping ship, Leeds are a very large club.

I hated d.c. for a while,but when you look at what he's spent and how he plays to his players strengths if he was not with the gas I would be more than pleased to have him at the gate

[alexukhc]

I think DC is a ****

[JBFC II]

Seems like they still haven't got over us buying Matty Taylor, yet another thread on gaschat about him.

Let's see how he gets on without Matty Taylor's goals. They've scraped their way back to mid table in league one, with 2 last second promotions from non league & basement. Both needed outstanding contributions from their £300k man..! 

If they makevthe play offs this season then I'll give him credit for that. Up until now he's done nothing more than expected, imo.

What? the same bitter Liverpool fans who have never won a premiership title??????

I think you missed the point Esmond. 

There are a huge number of Rovers fans who are bitter about our reds and they wear blue.

It is a similar story on Merseyside!

Except liverpool and everton both have a fantastic history of winning league titles,fa cups and european competition but city and rovers have never in all there history won anything of note.

Both clubs fans live off of minor achievements and happy memories of various  minor league promotions and players we loved etc.

The brutal truth is both clubs have mostly been utter rubbish.

city had a good period 1905-10 and a cup final  1909 and a 5 year spell in the top division in the 70"s  and thats it

Rovers came 5th in what is now the championship in the 50"s and a hard working team that briefly held its own in the championship under gerry francis in 1991

So from a neutrals point of view its a crap club v a crappier club

Perhaps that explains the massive thread?  the only measure of city success is that they are historically the crap club not the crappier club.?

Luckily our new owner is going to change that in the near future.

Not many reds on Merseyside!  Oslo and Asia, maybe.

I think the issue mate, is that your club does seem to face some "misfortunes" of quite gargantuan proportions on a regular basis. This is a place where we collect in laughing at that. Regardless of how crap we are, theres a lot of fuel for this thread, like it or not.

Only if he can find someone else to pay for it... Must be the skintest billionaire ever known to man...

Now all I hear off my devoted gas mate is "thats's how everyone does business now". It went from 2 years ago "he will plough millions into the squad, and as we get out of non league the FFP rules don't apply so watch the spending boom". That has now turned into "no point in spending money on the squad at the moment". If he doesn't find backing for a new stadium Mr Wally will be long gone imo.

[Monkeh]

Your owner is going to change it?

when, he's been there for two years now the only thing you have to show for it is some sprinklers undisclosed contracts (that worked with Taylor didn't it) some sprinklers a clean carpet and a fence you haven't paid for

 

news flash ******** your owner has no money

your ground isn't happening 

your aren't catching us anytime soon

the gap may be small in league places but in infrastructure you might as well be Oldham to our man united,

you need to spend the best part of 200 million just to get where we are now

at least you got a sense of humour .

as you've listed our clubs underachievements above, can you explain why . 

We see us for what we are , one of the smallest clubs in the championship but our history shows it's just about where we've averaged in our history. 

Whereas you lot think you're a massive club with a amazing fan base and serious delusions of grandeur. Most of your fan base think you should be in the championship by right but have not actually been in the second tier for a quarter of a century , yep 25 years , but according to you lot you're massive 

[Bar BS3]

There couldn't be a better example of the idiots who buy into #gaslogic than @bluebutterfly and where does she choose to come and spout her delusional tosh..? Only on here, on this thread, which she originally questioned the reasons for it being so long standing..!! 

You couldn't make it up..!

It all depends on your perspective, if you are relating "in the near future", to the beginning of time, then maybe in a few millennia they'll get their new stadium.  If you take it as the next year or two, then it does appear to be drug fuelled thinking.....

Its amazing how tiny clubs like barnsley,brentford,bristol city and burton somehow survive in the championship,it must be amazing having your "big day out" at reading every season.

Championships, European Cups or whatever, I would not swap our history for Liverpool's. You know why.
