Careless decision making from the top. That’s as maybe. I was responding to a post saying that SL wants his money back. That’s about £200m. And all we do is moan.

I remember many moons ago being in a room when Stu Rogers of the Supporters Trust asked SL if he agreed it would good to have an independent supporters voice on the City board (i.e. someone representing the Trust) to which he replied "me and Jon are supporters of the club, so we don't need anymore supporters voices". Arrogance, hubris, dismissive, and disengaged from reality. 26 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all we do is moan. …. and we aren’t entitled to moan?? We’ve accrued a debt of £200m and all we’ve got to show for it is a ground refurbishment costing possibly £40m, but we no longer even own the ground! We’ve had a diabolically bad return for that level of investment and the blame for that lies wholly with Lansdown. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how much he wants. If he wants his money back I suppose it’s about £200M. My opinion is he’d take a lot less for the right buyer but who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNick Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 I'd really love to know what Jon actually wants to do regarding City himself. Maybe he loves being involved everywhere and has pushed for this from his dad for the last 20 years. If so he has a funny way of showing it and is really not doing a great job anywhere really. Maybe his passion is actually the Fever Pitch stuff, in which case as far as billionaire son's playthings go it's not the worst tbh. Just let him have his fun, it's not good but it's not that bad. If we were doing better on the pitch I don't think anyone would really care. The issue is (apart from the fact we're not doing well on the pitch) that when he's deciding what needs to be done, rather than just the raw execution imo (in most cases). As in, the videos, photos, all that isn't bad, but the designs and decisions (when do we/should we do the Zak Vyner clothes line) need someone at the club to push back. Maybe he can't be bothered with any of it, but he's there because of his dad and they're just in a holding pattern waiting for that outside investment, who would likely change stuff up regardless. I honestly have no idea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how it works though. He should have done things differently if he wanted his money back because you don't get that for a mediocre debt laden championship football club. And we're that because of his decision making. 20 years is long enough to have got those decisions right. Enough is enough. Time for them to f off.

I honestly have no idea? I think some probably underestimate just how much he (and friends) are involved in the day-to-day running of the club. And have been for 10+ years. He's certainly not doing it against his own will. At the same time I'm sure he doesn't want to be front and centre as he pretty much is now (along with Tinnion). And this has long been the dilemma of the Lansdowns. How to retain absolute control without it appearing so...hence the constant chopping and changing in strategy and personnel. They want someone like Nige with his experience and guile, but also someone malleable they can control like Manning. And the circus continues to circle... round and round we go.
