Red Robin Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Reality is what Leroy says is right,he feels city are just bouncing along with no serious threat of removing itself from this division.Reality is teams like READING have moved on a few gears.Reality is READING have a far better chance of reaching the prem than BCFC.You can understand why players move on here.I really cannot believe MARCUS STEWART is pulling on the red shirt when he has so much more to offer.He really must have city right through his blood.

Guest MaloneFM Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I..am..SHOCKED! And when did he say all this? Because you have not attributed it to anything like Sky sports news.And I hardly expected him to say 'uncle Brian come and pick me up now'.

BCAGFC Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Until we sort the finances out we will not progress, at £100k+ per season the interest payments are contributing to killing the club. We need a benefactor/large interest free cash injection quick any takers/ideas?. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more he can offer this club to help achive promotion the better, I agree though he had a choice of Championship clubs, Can't imagine how hard our season would be without him now Lita's gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robin Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 More to offer, what do you mean by that? MARCUS HAS MORE TO OFFER A BIGGER CLUB IN THE NEXT DIVISION UP HE IS TO GOOD FOR THIS DIVSION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 If we had won promotion this coming season with Leroy would he have signed a new contract, me thinks yes.BCAGFCP.s. It looks like his England U21 snub contributed as well, although to say playing in a lower division doesn't help that cause is not exactly true look at Greg Halford (Colchester).

I know Roger and he put's alott of time and efert into the club behind the scene's. As do all the backroom staff. Well done all of you and i hope to see more 'stars' like Leroy soon coming from our Academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a benefactor/large interest free cash injection quick any takers/ideas?. BCAGFC←Did you know that Brentford's Supporters Trust have just launched a campaign to raise £1M by September to purchase the Club from Ron Noades?We could do that.A share purchase by Bristol City fans all clubbing together would see cash injected interest free. We'd also become stakeholders in our club.Sound like's a good idea to me. If we turned the frustration of the past couple of days into something positive like forming a Supporters Trust, wouldn't that be a good thing? There are already people working on this but it needs others to get stuck in too. Why not pay a visit here and start helping the process of getting Bristol City where we all yearn for it to be?

Nibor Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 It should be noted that share purchases don't necessarily inject cash into businesses when you buy from an existing shareholders - they inject cash into existing shareholders. You'd have to buy on a float or the board would have to do a new share issue (debatably devaluing their stake) to inject cash into a club.However, anything that raises money for the club and helps us cut the debt would be great and deserves alot of support. Getting fans represented more strongly would probably help cut down on the PR nightmares and also help fans to understand the problems the board deal with better.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evocare Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Guessed thats what you ment, I just wanted you to spell it out for us so i can point out that what your saying is complete nonsence, think about it, if Stewart is too good for this division then thats must be a massive boost for us signing a player out of our league, so the impact he would make at Bristol City would be greater than at a Championship club as you would assume the Championship club would have better quality players so Stewarts actual impact would be far less.You actually seem annoyed Stewart has joined us, which is weird.

Oh, and if you get religated, you can say cheers to him aswell, lets face it the only reason he's playing at your crappy club is to further his career, don't think for one miniute its becuase he thinks Reading is a big club.Reading? a big Club ....do me a favor.

Having met with Steve Lansdown earlier this week I'm pleased to report that he came accross as both supportive and enthusiastic about the Supporters Trust idea and is very receptive to the concept of supporters clubbing together to buy new shares in the Club.However, anything that raises money for the club and helps us cut the debt would be great and deserves alot of support. Getting fans represented more strongly would probably help cut down on the PR nightmares and also help fans to understand the problems the board deal with better.Nibor←That's a very good point.
