Shame if they do would be nice to see some of these players staying with the clubs that give them a chance rather running after the money of the big 4 , Brighton are excellent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I got the same impression and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he didn't renew NPs contract regardless of where we finish. I also get the same impression from JL. 7 minutes ago, Davefevs said: Looks like Nige has told him a few home truths over his term here…and he didn’t take too kindly to it. I think that is the case.

Tell SL some what he doesn't want to hear and you are out on your ear. Rub his balls with a warm soft cloth and you can get away with running the club into the ground. Remember though, it's his money and his club. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Lansdown will sell up and move on soon as he’s taken the club as far as he can. Won’t have to worry about upsetting his ego. As grateful as I am for Lansdown sand his money, he’s not a football man and has often made poor choices when it comes to Bristol City.

They are in the premier league & will be again next season all for the price of just a few million fine….i would be happy with us breaking all the rules to get to the top tier & then just pay a few million quid to get away with it. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing with an experienced manager like Nige, not only has he seen it and done so can pass comment based on his experiences. But, maybe more pertinent, he is unlikely to need the money so will tell someone like SL exactly how it is. The last manager we had that was, sort of, in that position was Cottrill. I don’t believe getting Nige out is on the agenda currently but if we start badly next term I would not be totally surprised. One thing we can be certain of is that Nige is no yes man. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most recognise that NP has done a good job in clearing up the mess created by SL and MA, but SL bigs up Mark Robins at Coventry and the job he's done whilst ignoring NPs input here other than saying we should have had more points and further up the table (not necessarily in that interview) and his son said the same. They are on a different page to NP imo. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
