Off Topic Bristol City Talk.

Instead of searching the market availability for a new CEO we have chosen to make the long and arduous potential journey as short as possible by just going down the hall to an existing employee. So much for bringing in new blood to up our ante and considering we look as if we will be going into the new season short of possibly a lot of players due to injury, including some that are classed as long term, and that includes our only goalie of note in Max. I have this dreadful feeling that we will fall off a cliff this season unless some kind of effort is made to bring seasoned Championship players to boost our ranks and at least give us a chance of competing at a reasonable level. If we continue to do all the maintenance with a can of 3 in 1 oil and a pipe wrench we will get the inevitable result which is apathy followed by unreasonable expectations.

 

well we have to replace him!

 

Can Pring out for 12 weeks with his injury. That’s him, McNally and Max out for a good chunk of season start

 

Does this mean the end of our interest in Dolan of Blackburn I wonder ?

 

typical BCFC injury prone .................... bit like the opposite of Lourdes .............

ps stayed in a camp site very close to Lourdes for about 3 days/nights amazingly after dark there were 100's of bats flying around the 6 or 7 "street type lights" over looking the site. The site it self was not sparred their aerial antics as they flew amongst the tent and campers as well come about 3am they were nearly all gone.........

 

So we have a new manager and assistant along with a sort of new CEO and my question is to whether or not all of these top level appointments will make us do things better? I think we will drift through the next campaign because now we have the excuse of a new manager to blame and Gerhard may have to endure some sticky moments to get things done his way. Good luck to him and all the new staff and players and we can only hope for a good season without major troubles.

£55 for a home shirt, it’s getting ridiculous.

 

Worked with Ralph Hasenhuttl. Struber wants to play this fast forward flowing football now we’ve got a coach who learnt from Hassenhuttl. Think we may be in for a treat this season.

 

Let's hope so. Got to have the players to implement that style of play though. Do we have players with enough pace, and quality to do that.....

 

subs [ and defence ] will be a very important part of that!

 

It's nice to see some positivity to our recent changes at the top end of our hierarchy but I do have some reservations, particularly with the one appointment made from existing staff. A new CEO that has been at Ashton Gate for about four years is one of the newbies (of sorts) that concern me in that we need new impetus to get us going forward and this position is key and smacks of the past wrongdoings. I look forward to seeing what our new (and improved?) top brass will put out on the pitch this season and without a lot of last year's players unavailable through injury they have their work cut out, and it won't be easy I'm sure. A totally new way of thinking is really what we need to compete in today's Championship football and if Lansdown figures differently then we might need more help. Competing as we do without the parachute benefits, which give other teams a leg up on us, we have to be so careful about how and when we spend the little cash window offerings on hand. Good luck to us.

 

Only friendly but but but you start off as you mean to go.
Still need another striker and a proper goalkeeper.

 

We have the 4th richest owner in the Championship apparently…..
