Off Topic Bristol City Talk.

Didn’t Tinnion announce Randel though ?

 

Possibly but he wasn’t in the conference that Inver was saying Struber was agreeing with JL and Tinnion
“How many times did Gerhard nod his head to comments made by Lansdown or Tinnion because that's a good sign of a "yes man" and we don't need that again.”

 

I would be surprised to see Tinnion leave the safe confines of Ashton Gate despite all of the rumours abounding. It makes my blood boil when we sell off our crown jewels to bring in players of a lesser status and expect the supporters to get excited about another rebuild that has too many holes to fill if you let the likes of Knight leave and not keep them as your solid base for the future. Yes I know we will sell anything to fill up the coffers but the decent players are your best, if not only, assets of any worth and yet you continue to do the same damage every single season. Are we totally incapable of retaining good players, or are they all dismayed by the seeming lack of effort on the part of the owner to take the club anywhere exciting? I wish Gerhard all the best in his new employment and despite all of the moans we groan we all truly want only the best for BCFC.

 

Interesting if true……

 

nice to see people see the potential

 

Yep, Liam helping make this possible. Clubs always get more interest when they’re top 6, rather than bottom 6-8. Last season should have helped us become more prominent to potential investors.

 

One thing is for sure, Simon Jordan wouldn’t be recommending us

 

What about the revival of the Bristol speedway team we were promised 20 years ago ?

 

Think SL is actually richer than him.

Would have though a few would be against this as these bloody foreigners coming here taking all our jobs

 

They are both multi billionaire’s, it’s not SL’s wealth which is lacking, it’s his ambition to move our club forward people are questioning, and whether after all the years he’s owned us, whether he still has the desire to take us forward.

Personally I’m unsure. I’d rather SL stayed, but just employed competent people in senior roles and had a proper structure in place.

 

i am definetely against, the one thing we do have at the moment is stability,
this guy just seems to be shopping for a club.. and any club will do so long as fills certain criteria
no if we are to have new owners, i want them to have the club, its history and traditions at heart.

 

I agree, but we have to be realistic, SL wants to sell. The way he’s set the club up is costing him approx £20m plus each year, a figure he seems increasingly unhappy funding.

Like you I’m not overly happy with this guy, but at some point SL will sell, and the chance of him finding someone to pay the kind of money he’s asking, and them being a City fan is very unlikely.

As it is, lucky, I don’t think this guy will want us anyhow, but I think it’s something we’re going to have to get used to.

 

When you see the likes of Cardiff and Blackburn (and the blue few) being sold to Asian owners and the resulting almost total disconnect between the owners vision and fans it’s a very risky thing to happen to us
Having said that I’d like some real ambition for us because despite the talk, there isn’t any under the Lansdowns

 

I don’t see how this would take us any further forward. FFP won’t let the guy spend any more money than SL has been allowed to.

 

SL is keeping the rest of Bristol Sport. He wants to rent Ashton Gate back to us.

 

I'd rather keep it as is than go down that road.
