They were never in danger of going down which was about the best they could have hoped for. We were a big help to them too, did they do the double over anyone else but us? They shockingly beat Luton 3-0 and 5-0 last season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Look at their ownership model since 2014 - when Carson Yeung was jailed for money laundering - then look at whether criticisms of Mr Lansdown are justified in terms of running our club? We have a passionate Bristolian running our club - he won’t always get it right, but he cares so much about Bristol City - would you swap him for the various owners of Birmingham City over the last decade or so?!

The points you’re making have little / no relation to the criticism(s) levelled at SL. Nobody thinks SL is an underhand owner. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Birmingham seem a mess but it is quite an interesting appointment. A bit like QPR, they've gone for someone in the game who has been tipped as a potentially good manager for a while. (Although the fact he was at QPR and they didn't go for him may tell a story.) Sounds like he is inheriting a mess, though. Edited July 4, 2022 by LondonBristolian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he is inheriting a mess, though. He is inheriting a mess, both on and off the pitch. Given their problems, and the fact they've been in relegation scraps for the last 6 seasons, they must be due the drop this season. Last six seasons - 20th, 18th, 20th, 17th, 19th, 19th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he is inheriting a mess, though. QPR have recovered from their mess whilst Birmingham look like they want to be put out their misery and relegated. A few seasons in league 1 as a reality check and they'll probably recover. You just can't be run like a basket case and get away with it in the Championship unless you have a 'cash' owner willing to cover their own mistakes.

Nobody thinks SL is an underhand owner. Loads of people, both on here and in real life, have said it’s time for Mr Lansdown to sell up and go - therefore, by highlighting the owners that Birmingham City have had over the last decade, I guess I was simply highlighting the ‘be careful what you wish for’ mantra once again - a lot of the criticisms aimed at Mr Lansdown are valid and he isn’t perfect. I’ve often maligned him on here for being scared of appointing a top manager since he got his fingers burnt by Steve Coppell, until he finally gave NP the job. But, we’ve got a mega rich Bristolian owner who cares passionately about our club. The Brummies would have given anything to have had one of their own at the helm of their once proud club over the last decade. We’ve got Mr Lansdown - now I’ve long since resigned myself to realising Bristol City will never win the premier league (unlike the club you really support) and I’ve also reluctantly accepted we will never win the champions league (unlike the club you really support). So, given that, I’m really happy we’ve got a proper owner - fans of loads and loads of football clubs in this country would love to say that ...

Dolman_Stand Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Aspart of that interview he accused Simon Jordan of being responsible for the death of an EFL member, pretty strong allegation and as ridiculous as I'm sure it is I can't help but wonder what the back story is?

Oh Louie louie Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Knighton said he was abducted by aliens. They made him eat his greens, tidy his room, then wash behind his ears. It was confirmed he was on the mothership. Its more likely to get adbucted by aliens, then brum winning the leauge i reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
