W-S-M Seagull Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 I think the problem with Jon is that he's lived an entitled life and fair play to him for that. But he doesn't know what it's like to work hard all week to be able to afford to go to the football on the Saturday. He doesn't know the sacrifices many of us have to make in order to attend because he's never had to do that. For most of us that are living normal lives in the real world he doesn't get how going to the football is an escape from the ups and downs of a normal life. I'd say for most of us our mental wellbeing is impacted by how we do. Win and we go into the week with a spring in our step, lose and everything is just quite gloomy for the next week. If we lose Jon just buggers off to his yacht in the Bahamas. I think his lack of being able to relate really impacts how he goes about the job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t agreed with a lot of Jon’s recent decisions, but just because he hasn’t had many/any financial stresses growing up, doesn’t mean his mood isn’t impacted by our results. The two are completely unrelated 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedsHeadIs Red Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 We’re all pleased when we win. But if the “mental wellbeing” of grown adults is impacted by the fortunes of a football team then that is pathetic. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shauntaylor85 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Steve has invested a lot of time and money in the club and deserves a bit more respect to be honest. Yes I think the time has come for change and the football decisions in general are baffling, certainly this crazy structure with Tinnion involved but we wouldn’t have the facilities now enjoyed without Steve. However he should have seen sense with Nige IMO and kept him at the club, things were developing in right direction, the Manning appointment is no better than Holden. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry, but I disagree with the notion that we should be grateful to the Lansdowns. Most championship and league one clubs have shiny new stadiums nowadays. And what have we really achieved on the pitch? We’ve gone absolutely nowhere in the last 50 years, but clubs like Swindon, Barnsley, Oldham and Luton have all reached the premier league. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of us who have supported BCFC for any real length of time and then not understanding the ups and downs of football- whether BCFC, England or one of a number of "second" clubs we may openly or secretly support then you don't understand football and the relationship is unhealthy. If losing regularly or not achieving is going to affect your mental health then Football is absolutely to be avoided because the highs are few and lows are legion. If losing , whether its Leicester or Rotherham , impacts your mental health to any real extent then you should take a look at whether it's worth it. To include JL in any mental health issues is, in itself, mental. As the excellent Tom said before he hung up his OTIB administrator boots " If it's all getting a bit much- take a break". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This attitude in 2024 is appalling. Considering your attitude towards mental wellbeing then it's pointless debating this with you. If you ever listen to 3 peeps in a podcast at the beginning of every episode they always ask each other for a mental well being rating. If we win its usually a 8/9 and if we lose around a 6ish. So I'm just going to leave it as that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at what point are you going to give a **** about what you've said about BT, SL , JL and the young Manager Liam Manning? What possible reason would they have to want to fail? They don't count in your warped world. Edited March 7 by Marina's Rolls Royce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the same reason lansclown felt it necessary to be so unnecessarily rude to us fans on more than one occasion. None more so than when he said he felt sorry for those fans who questioned his decision to appoint holden. Sorry that we couldn't see what they were trying to do! That after he went public on talksport saying he wanted to appoint a manager to take us to the next level. And lying about the reason to dispense with NP. I don't feel bad about questioning his unreasonable behaviour 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 I’m not a fan of this name calling and rudeness towards Jon and Brian. It never makes for a balanced argument and kind of dilutes the sensible, well written arguments against their handling of things. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
