Me too, the we are going for the premier league stuff he came in with is clearly at odds with selling our best player and not spending anything with the proceeds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack Bladder Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Maybe he just wasn't allowed to perform the roll how he wanted to? Rather resign than work within the restrictions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t the first time someone extremely well qualified, if anything a bit of a coup for the club, has come in and hasn’t been able to make change work He might just want to get back to London. He might have done something wrong. He might be ill. He might have been offered another job somewhere. The club might be near a sale. Mark Ashton and LJ might be coming back. No idea - we'll just have to wait and see. One thing for sure: Alexander would have known what to expect from Lansdown - he was at Palace for some of the same time as Coppell and would likely have had a word before signing up with us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing does anymore. So much lack of stability at present. Are the owners committed long term or close to a sale? Will we have the same management team in place beyond this season? Who is going to lead the club off the pitch and what will the structure look like? We need to hear from SL this week. Press conference needed or hopefully he comes onto SOTC tomorrow night on Radio Bristol. First time in 20 years approx we haven’t heard from SL in first few weeks of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the CEO is gone and we will probably never know why. And personally I don’t care. But something has gone wrong at the top end of the club IMO. If Nige left I would be gutted 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street red Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 18 minutes ago, Harry said: My question is, if this happened on Friday, when were the club planning on making an announcement? It’s clear that they’ve had to rush a statement out at 8pm on a Sunday night after a 10 page thread had suddenly exploded on the forum. So they were pushed into making a statement this evening. When do we think they were actually planning on telling us? Couple of weeks?? Exactly right that statement was rushed and to me made up crap. Why wasn't anything sent out in the media yesterday and it beats me that no media knew anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Makes you think doesn’t it… Imagine being this outraged at what’s happened. Then imagine the steady flow of incidents much higher in magnitude that the r*vers face on a weekly basis. Shows just how far the clubs are apart. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Monday morning - who’s in charge of the day to day running of the club? Jon Lansdown? He was at the game yesterday however I thought he’d be flying back home? (Also, he wouldn’t know how to run a bath) Gavin Marshall? The bean counter who currently makes up 50% of our board. Brian Tinnion? Totally out of his remit and knowledge base. @phantom @thatcham red will you be reaching out to the club for clarity? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m definitely not in the SL out brigade. And I do think a lot of stuff on here is conspiratorial at times. But, in fairness, the resignation statement not mentioning SL would suggest - suggest only - that there is a problem between them rather than any of the things you mention.

Barrs Court Red Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 I can think of 3 or 4 likely scenarios, but if he’s a guy there to get the most out of commercial opportunities, I’d not be surprised if he found the lack of control over certain elements controlled by Bristol Sport a show stopper - pure conjecture based off the ST minutes from last week. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
