An absolute stitch up and the little **** Johnson remains untouched, what a disgusting act by our club and what a nasty little, slimey con trick slipping it out just before the match, I'm am amazed at this filthy act.. We have known all day..
It just about sums up the personality of our owner and why on earth Lee is still in a job just boggles the mind. There's nothing funny or believable about what's happening at Bristol City but we all know that SL is never going to change his mind and that should scare the hell out all of us.
' Highly thought of by the Ashton Gate board of directors and playing staff alike, he took charge of first team affairs on an interim basis when Cotterill was sacked in January last year, working alongside former player and Under-21 coach Wade Elliott. He remained at the club following Johnson's appointment as head coach in February 2016 and played a part in securing City's Championship status. Elliott left last summer and, nine months later, has been followed out of the door by the experienced Pemberton. A favourite with City fans, Pemberton's departure will no doubt anger those who have been calling for Johnson and Holden to go and be replaced by him in a caretaker capacity. But majority shareholder Steve Lansdown continues to back the young team of Johnson and Holden, even though the pair have presided over a disappointing return of just two wins in 17 Championship outings.' Copied from Bristol Post..
This is a very very very sad state of affairs, unfortunately we will never know the truth behind the reasons or the "deed / s" they will have committed or maybe didn't commit? point 1) JP and WE saved Bristol city last season point 2) and I have mentioned a few times our start was "good" but not brilliant, and I could not see us finishing higher than 12th, but not near bottom! point 3) it all went seriously UDDERS up when DH appeared on the scene, whether that had an influence or he is just a bad talisman "who knows" point 4) is this a move that allows for LEE to be assistant manager and someone is coming in to steer the ship? point 5) until today I had money on us staying up ( not actually in the physical sense), now I feel like going to the bookies and taking odds on us going down... we are 1/3 to go so did £60 to win £20
It's easy Don't go to home matches.. Let's see how thousands of missing fans every home game goes down with our complete tosser of an owner. Lansdown OUT
Steve Lansdown : “John has been part of the Bristol City family for the past four years, playing a lead role in the coaching team. However, when reviewing our plans for the future John was unfortunately not part of them. “I have really enjoyed working with John and would like to take this opportunity to thank him on behalf of everyone at the club for his hard work, dedication and commitment during his time at Ashton Gate. We wish him all the best for the future.”
You cannot deny that fact, of course you cant, however the critical stage was the first half dozen games after SC left. They history books state that LJ joined us and a few days later we had a game and he was in charge! What no one knows is what influence LJ had in that game, if any / much or the game after. As a manager going to a new "post" and everything was going well , which it was, I would be loath to upset the apple cart ! the 6 games after SC we collected 13 points the next 14 we collected 18 points having lost 6 games!
