It's over Steve. Well, I think the feeling is fairly mutual now tbh. If he doesn't have the bollocks to own his decisions that's on him, he'd only be spouting utter shite anyway. He just needs to be a bit sharpish in selling up now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are a lot of rumours going around regarding him, but on this one point I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Almost certainly true, but equally he shouldn’t be making rash statements like that on twitter. He’s made himself look like a bit of a prat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Gary Owers was superb tonight….I think he spoke for us fans tonight. Matt and Paul did their bit nicely, but a bit like when I was on last week, we aren’t media people, so are probably bordering on “playing a bit safe” when live on the radio. But I enjoyed it tonight…Gary especially. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he did, because based on current position the Bears are doing relatively well, so he’ll be able to swanny in and take credit for something. Similar to how he runs BCFC, when there is credit to be had he’s front and centre. When the sh1t hits the fan, the ostrich routine appears. I think a lot of City fans had been giving Lansdown the benefit of the doubt up until now because of the money he has pumped in, but the way the NP situation has been handled has pushed a lot of people into the “Lansdown out” camp. Such a sad state of affairs. It could all have been so different if the bloke would put his ego to one side. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, there’s bugger all been put out there by the club about what was said either - only outlet to report anything at all was Bristol24/7. Not trying to divert the topic but there are a few parallels to be drawn between the two “Revenue Streams.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepers Ball Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Having a listen now. So an opportunity for the Lansdown's to go on the show and explain their reasons, and they decline. No doubt they've got wind of the fans reaction so it's either a) they are gutless or b) couldn't give a flying fk about the Supporters. I'll put my money on the latter and if there wasn't reasons for wanting the owner to sell up before there certainly is now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elruliri Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I would of loved Owers talking to his former teammate Tinnion. That could of been interesting tonight. Fair play to Gary he didn't hold back. What a shit show this board has become. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's over Steve. Bullseye. I just do not know , cannot fathom, what is going through his head at the moment. Clearly he’s ‘had enough’ with City and the fans and wants out - so why not just take a huge step back and let NP get on with it, as he was doing, until he sells up? No he couldn’t help himself. The sacking smacks of jealousy of NP’s popularity - a spiteful act. As a big advocate of his over the years, I cannot understand how a seemingly normal, intelligent and successful man has backed himself into this corner - like a child saying “well he hit my first” - it’s absolutely pathetic. What a sad man. How on earth he, or anyone else cannot come out and speak to the fans now is beyond belief. You’re a guardian of our football club, something far greater than you, you’re not a god - this isn’t one of your businesses - you’ve lost the plot mate. I never, never thought it would happen but it’s Glazier-esque stuff. Any good you may have done is being wiped away, your legacy tarnished. Lansdown you’ve shown yourself unfit of the honour and responsibility of being the guardian of a football club. And what is also astonishing, but somehow not surprising - is that there is no one around him, no one at the club saying…hang on, this just isn’t right. The Lansdown’s are taking down everyone with them, every board member, every senior employee. They must be shitting themselves, but you reap what you sow - Gould, Ashton, Alexander, Pearson could also see through it and several got out before their reputations went down the toilet. NP went on for the fans, not for the board. But we see you now Steve - we see you. It’s over. 37 2 17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
