exAtyeoMax Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Just now, Mr Popodopolous said: I agree but this is basically a possible theory. Man City did it with Hughes, PPG so it's not unheard of. I'm not comparing a sovereign wealth backed club pre FFP just saying it's a nonsense. yes it's totally unrealistic, as someone else said, he was set up to fail.

Popular Post Olé Posted October 29, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Christ there have been some dire times at this club in the 30 years I have been watching (appreciate others have done so for much longer and through much tougher i.e. early eighties) but at least in my time I don't recall a moment I have ever felt more disillusioned or detached from the club than hearing this news. We knew it might be coming but part of me didn't want to believe the Lansdown's would be so ridiculous. This is not a footballing decision however they dress this up. We've been competitive in all of the games we've played this season and anyone who spends any amount of time watching can see what is developing. I'm one of those people who finds it quite awkward to be outright dismissive of SL given the investment he has made in the club, but at this point he is no better than all the other lunatics or overseas owners. This is a scandalous decision which appears to be at odds with the vast majority of supporters - in which case he clearly no longer cares about who he represents, so perhaps it's time to sell up and move on. 70 1 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 5 minutes ago, Southport Red said: Well, if that is true, does it mean the Lansdown have decided promotion is now impossible? Rathe defeatist to say the least! More like a trajectory, once that is dropped off a change may occur. Don't get me wrong, it's a nonsense if so...I'm still quite stunned.

Meh Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I just hope everybody remembers their words today. Football fans are fickle and if Mr Yes Man comes in tomorrow and we win a couple too many upset now will change their tune and suddenly be ‘maybe it was the right decision’. Any success between now and season end will be down to the attitudes Nigel has drilled into this side and only partially down to the successor. I will certainly remember come 24/25 renewal time as for first time in years I am done. Not knee-jerk, just final, absolute acceptance that as long as Lansdown is here there will never be enough funds made available to achieve top 6 again and I have wasted thousands already on that impossible dream 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROKERITE Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I backed you ante-post because of Pearson. He's the SEVENTEENTH EFL manager to be sacked this season and we're a third of the way through. I have never seen such a negative response to a manager being dismissed. I can't believe Mr Lansdown anticipated such a reaction. I'm not happy either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 The only thing I could understand is if there is a deal ready to go for investment in the club. Anything other than that then I think that the Lansdown regime is killing the club and they really have lost the plot altogether. The statement says that results are the issue. They’ve got loads out through injury, a team full of academy youngsters, Nige has had no money to spend and yet they are expecting promotion? Seriously? Promotion? They can’t even be in the same universe as everyone else if they honestly believe we should be top of the league? I love this club, but unless the sacking is due to some big sale to a serious investor then I’m done. We were lucky to have such a superb calibre of manager as Nigel Pearson who worked under ludicrous constraints but who never complained publicly. Had he been given money to spend I believe that we would have eventually reached the Premier League. I really fear that we will be plunged back into another shambles and this time there really would be nowhere to hide for the Lansdown’s. Seriously gutted by this ridiculous decision. Dumbfounded. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Absolutely dreadful decision. Who knows exactly the reasons why but it can't be due to his health as why would Euell and Rennie both out as well. Maybe he was still smarting from not been given a bigger slice of the Scott money and Nige being Nige didn't mince his words in voicing his disappointment which I suspect didn't go down too well with the owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who’s good for SL’s ego, not Bristol City Football Club no doubt. The key skill for a manager as far as Steve is concerned is to say how great the Lansdowns are on a weekly basis. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they’ve said they expected promotion sums it all up. Sell the Crown Jewels, give 10% of the budget of the sales to reinvest, blood youngsters, turn a profit, get promoted. Absolute insanity. Kalifa Cisse interim coach when he hasn’t coached for 2 years. That ******* sums it up as well It’s laughable, all of it. I’m absolutely disgusted.

RollsRoyce Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 An unbelievable decision, taken by people who are are incompetent and have minimal knowledge of football. Nigel Pearson has been treated terribly and undermined in an orchestrated manner. There is a reason BCFC have never been in the Premier League, and that reason is the Lansdown family. The cub needs to change ownership, not manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
