The biggest problem that I have seen through the mist that is Bristol City is in the area of commitment and follow up. How on earth does Lansdown have the nerve to expect success when he is clearly still employing the biggest two negatives to that cause in his son Jr and BT and until such time as he disposes of them both we will not move forward in any meaningful way. Imagine hiring a new manager and telling them that they have serious opponents in our hierarchy and everything you do will be passed by them both before the next move. It is nothing but a recipe for another lousy season and wanting a better repeat on the last campaign may have to wait another 17 years. We have serious addiction to doing the wrong things at the wrong times and I would have guessed that it was the main, if not the only, reason behind his departure just because that's the way we continue to do things.

Telling the media that you want success and actually doing anything to get it are two very different things as we have all learned under the rule of the Lansdowns

Newcastle are in talks to sign the Burnley keeper.
Newcastle already have an England keeper.
That's how well managed clubs understand the importance of a good keeper.

We have O'leary.

Watford are getting relegated, Plymouth are staying up, Millwall are in the play-offs and Portsmouth are also battling for a top-six spot.

SPOT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS BBC article........ BASED ON 22GAMES PLAYED! Except of course Millwall who have played 1 extra! PORTSMOUTH who they beat twice so take away 1 of the wins and they are on 34 points so CITY WOULD HAVE BEEN 5TH
 
Bristol City eye Liam Henderson transfer

Bristol City are ‘plotting’ a swoop for Empoli midfielder Liam Henderson, according to reporter Pete O’Rourke on X. They are being linked with a move for the former Scotland youth international. Fellow Championship side Swansea City have also been credited with an interest.



Henderson, 29, is out of contract at the end of the month. He is due to become a free agent in a matter of weeks. The Livingston-born man has been playing abroad since 2018.

This proves what I’ve said all along - especially through the LJ days; the manager does not control the recruitment at BS3, he just has to work with what he’s given.
People wrongly blame managers for signing ‘duds’. To be fair this guy MAY turn out to be brilliant, but he wasn’t the manager’s choice - because we don’t have one.
I rest my case.

It's a terribly flawed and short sighted system if it's true
So are we saying that LM didn't have a say in Sinclair Armstrong or Fally ?
If he didn't, who do we blame for wasting money on these 2 ? Tinnion ?

It must be BT.
How are players being chased and potentially signed when we don’t have a manager?
It happened before with David James.
People blamed LJ for the Diony debacle but it’s possible he had little or no say in it.
I said this about Kent; why would LJ chase and sign someone and then not play them? I never believed Kent was wanted by LJ and smelled a rat from that point on.

I'm not sure that LM had much of a say in these 2 transfers tbh. I would say that he did have a say, and a big one in Twine joining, though, so who knows....

Even the haters know this wasn't on LJ. Ashton was whoring himself to the big clubs off the back of the success of Tammy's loan from Chelsea. The big boys saw him coming a mile away and rinsed him, and us.
