We all have days like that RoD.

I agree with the thrust of the post. I’m hoping now he has a bit of money, his recruits will not take as long as Tanner did , and Wilson is still doing, to settle in and adjust to the championship.

Atkinson is the only one we’ve really spent money on and he seems to have faired a bit better.

Needs must though, if we go chucking money on players plus high wages we could be back here again. We’ve stopped the risk of financial suicide let’s progress up the league. If it’s too slow then so be it, but let’s stay financially in the right side of the line.

Of course I’m not suggesting we buy marquee players, but on the other hand we don’t want to be in the position we were in around Christmas, next season we really need to be bottom of the top, rather than top of the bottom, if that makes sense. Anywhere from 3rd to tenth I’d be hoping for.

Disappointing that Nige doesn't think a more experienced keeper is a priority
I don't want O'Leary to leave, just to learn from someone who is more experienced at this level, who will help him with his decisions and judgements.

Brian Clough always said the backbone of the team are the 3 most important positions, and it's hard to argue

Keeper
Centre Back
Centre Forward

Get all three positions right and you've got a great change of achieving something.

Nigel Pearson makes summer transfer admission around Bristol City's goalkeeping department

Nigel Pearson will reassess the goalkeeping situation during pre-season when Stefan Bajic returns from his difficult loan spell

Nigel Pearson is not ruling out bringing in an experienced goalkeeper to challenge Max O'Leary for the No1 shirt next season but insists it's not a priority position and a decision will be made during pre-season.

The goalkeeping department has seen notable changes throughout the campaign with club captain Dan Bentley heading to Wolves in the January transfer window having lost his place in the side to his former team-mate back in October. O'Leary, 26, has made the shirt his own with a number of consistent performances and was rewarded with a contract extension until 2026 in February.

However, he hasn't necessarily been challenged in the position. Nikita Haikin arrived as a No2 in January on a short-term deal until the end of the season but was released two months later after agreeing a three-year contract with former club Bodo/Glim
 
Signing players early this year in particular will hopefully stop us paying inflated fees. IF we sell Scott then the cost of transfer targets will rocket.
Nevertheless I hope we can get in a few proven Championship quality players in this summer.
 
To be totally honest I would love to see SL stay and see us promoted with Nigel at our helm but if we don't come close next time out then that would possibly be the time he heads for the hills after selling the club. Whatever happens on the club ownership front we owe a great debt of gratitude to Steve for his stewardship and major financial support of Bristol City during some telling times. :emoticon-0137-clapp

100% agree has put us back on the map with one of the best managers outside the premiership in control.

Nigel Pearson responds to striker speculation amid Bristol City links with Kevin Nisbet
Bristol City have been linked with two forwards in as many weeks but strengthening other areas of the squad remains a priority

Not too sure that a guy with 12 goals in L1, or someone from the Scottish PL is where we should/need to be buying from. It feels a very mid to low table ambition for me. I am concerned we have, and continue to look to do a lot of business in these areas.

Fair enough, we have to avoid getting in the mess we did before though, our recruitment needs to be cute, we need to replicate Millwall, Luton and Coventry, all who ended up either in, or in Millwalls case just outside, the playoffs. We can’t afford the wages of marquee players.
 
Here we are again looking in the bargain basement hoping to find some diamonds in the rough. We can't afford to shop at Harrods and so Poundland looks to be our store of choice, which is fine if you can find exactly what you want at somewhat lesser pricing. Party on.
