That about sums it up wih perfect clarity, SL has been a great benefactor to our club but the structues he has built below are ......Nige was an employed asset and a benefit to our club, as said someone below had different ideas. All that money spent, all that time and ambition given, all the verbage spouted, we are still a mediocre, mid table Championship club and likely to remain so.
As a lot of us have said over the years, the identity of the football club has been severely diluted by the brand Bristol Sport and now when it comes to possibly selling it's probably more difficult to attract buyers with such a varied offering.
Tommy Conway, Bristol City and an inevitable impasse that dates back to Nigel Pearson's time Bristol City are open to offers for their star striker as contract talks have dragged on and on https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/tommy-conway-bristol-city-pearson-9337106
They leave us even when we are successful. They have been doing it for years. Shaun Goater even dropped a division to leave us just after we got promoted.
It’s a short career, unfortunately players will leave if they can get better money elsewhere. We buy players from lower divisions in exactly the same way. In their defence they’re an injury away from ending their career, they have to make hay whilst the sun shines. I agree it’s a bummer though.

I really feel for the guy, I hope he can put his injuries behind him because he had lots of potential, at one point being talked about alongside Scott. Fingers crossed for the lad.
9 days on and still no signing; that was a few days away, according to the Tinman in this article.... “We’re really close to a 7,” Tinnion said. “That’s probably the closest one, which we’re really hopeful of getting over the line in the next couple of days. on 4th June.
Swift exit to doomsday scenario: How Tommy Conway's Bristol City future could play out Tommy Conway's time at Bristol City looks to be coming to an end but, exactly how long that end will be and what form it'll take, is open for debate https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/tommy-conway-bristol-city-future-9341230
When you consider that our supposed top player, and scorer, only reached 11 goals for the season I think it highlights just how low our expectations need to be for the future. Just consider that you are building your own personal mansion and decide to bypass using the right building materials but instead chose to buy your building products from a shoddy lower level supplier and still expected the same outcome? You may end up looking like a knubhead in the minds of all of your friends who laugh at the way you approached a project that meant so much to so many people and then just tried to avoid the messy stuff hitting the fan by allowing your false hype and hope to be spouted by one of your minnions who loses more respect from me each and every time he tries to spin nothing into a miracle event.

Bristol City chief on financial realities of the Championship and Robins being a 'selling club' Bristol City weathered a particularly violent financial storm in the wake of Covid-19 but are now able to look forward https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-city-chief-financial-realities-9342437
It really pisses me off when you read quite a long and technical article about the Bristol City set up and then right in the last section Jon the dull boy pops up with one of his pissy little comments," The structure feels “aligned” for the first time, devoid of decisions driven by self-interest" we know this little knob is talking about Nige, why don't they just move him on he is an embarrassment.
The corporate waffle we hear from John boy is starting to wear very thin on me because there isn't anything he has ever said that doesn't rankle the supporters. Anyone carrying the title "Junior" is usually a mouthpiece for the domineering father who won't let go of the reins and who also doesn't trust outsiders with the family coffers. JL has done nothing in my mind to further the cause of BCFC and in fact I think he is the biggest detriment to our progress and really is only doing his dads bidding. Has anyone noticed that not just in football alone there are periods of buzz phrases such as "ring fencing", "bad actors' and the like, but in reality they are designed to sound good with absolutely no true worth to whatever situation is under question? When I look at all the nonsense statements coming out of Ashton Gate over the years that have eventually taken us nowhere I am starting to get that dizzy feeling again of being led down the same garden path by the same people who should know better. The times they are not a changing anytime soon.
