    Been away for a bit at her majesties pleasure but am back to enjoy the delights of not606!
    Who is responsible for the mess we find ourselves in?
    And was I actually innocent and it was all the fault of Lee Johnson, or even those pesky kids?

    Your fans are to blame, I think you've forgotten your just a small team in the championship who have been punching above their weight.

    I think we have to remember that if it wasn't for SL we would either be bankrupt
    or still in L1. I am therefore happy to say I believe we can thank him for the "state"
    we are in - i.e. financially solvent, with plans for a new stadium, a new training ground
    and the possibility that he might still dig into his wallet to get us out of the brown stuff.
    So my vote goes to him - but probably not in the way you are meaning.....!

    The players lead,with a tie for secong between the board and Steve Lansdown.
    Nobody blames any of the last 3 managers.
    Interesting.
    More votes would be quite telling - vote away chaps!

    I think coppel ****ed us up a lot but the players are very much to blame, the circus with maynard and the new stadium has also hindered us

    From the outside looking in a think there a many people to be held accountable for your position. Steve Coppell for coming and going, The board for giving Keith Millen the job when you needed someone experienced. The board shouldnt of allowed the Maynard circus to happen and your players havent played to their potential so many people are to blame. Derek McInnes looks like he will do a decent job for you but needs to be given the summer

    The board are to blame.
    1. Apart from Coppell, cheap options when appointing a manager.
    2. Giving long contracts to rubbish players.
    3. The joke/mess regarding Nicky Maynard.
    4. Not being involved enough, to allow the manager to get in players that will save us from relegation.
    5. Making ticket prices too high, when we need all the support we can get.
    6. Distractions in buying rugby clubs (toys) instead of concentrating on the job in hand.

    Nobody is mentioning the council as a lot of these other clubs who are doing well have support from their local council.

    Its a two way connection. How many tourists will travel to liverpool or manchest to visit their club grounds. Cant imagine we get tourists to visit ashton gate or mem. The council needs to start supporting the local sport and in time it will help the rest of the city grow. Its not a right but We should have a prem league club given our city size

    We have got a big fat cat as our chairman,who only function seems to be to act as a mouthpiece to the media,the team around take care of everything else,he doesn't even have a final say on major signings,he has to run to Steve lansdown,he is innefective but I bet he is on an earner of more than £100k per year.

    Get rid of fat cat Sexstone and re-invest his wages in new players..

    Its the players over chairman/board by 60/40.
    Be great to get a few more votes as I'm amazed really.
    I thought 95% of votes would go to the players.

    The players have shown themselves to have a soft underbelly over the last 18 months
    Their confidence is so fragile - no leaders on the pitch.
    Coppell did not help and the Board have not covered themselves in glory, but for me it's mostly the players

    It's difficult to pin the blame on any one of the groups. But the old saying "An army is not led by it's privates" is the way I sum it up. In our case the privates are responsible for the multitude of "NON Performances" but the Generals have provided insufficient leadership to encourage the privates to work and perform better.

    The board for not appointing a proven championship manager with the experiance.
    Not a manager that has no experiance at this level.

    Face up to the fact you are relegation fodder:1980_boogie_down:

    Cheer up just like last season absolutely no way you will go down as the teams below or just above you cannot buy a win<doh>

    Still its a bit like car crash football :emoticon-0121-angry
