Conway they’ve been trying to tie down on contract since before last summer. I think it’s been three offers but he’s refused to sign. Probably because he’s seen what his ex flat mate earns and wants a bit of it. So it’s not a case of the club not doing anything till this summer. (Remember before two summers ago he did not play first team football) So based on one good first season they have been trying to tie him down.

Pring did sign a new contract last season so will take money to sign him, and we don’t need to so would be good money for him.

As to Lansdown sitting on a nest egg, he has been loaning / funding / gifting the club 10-15m a year due to cost of trying to be competitive in this league. So to say he’s not helping is complete bollocks.
His structure below him is ****, and remember it was him that went to Nige not Nige applied for the role, then someone below him then decided they could do it differently.
What he has said is he wants the club to stand on its own two feet rather than chucking money in every year. Maybe he can now see build a monster it’s more difficult to sell off. Building all these teams (Football, Rugby and Basketball) separating the ground so all have to pay rent was a bad idea.

If he does manage to sell, most on here will complain that’s it’s poorly ran by some Middle Eastern or Yank.

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.

Lets be fair until this football club show real ambition-players are always going to leave,

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.

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.

Not really sure how it all works but the transfer window opens tomorrow.
 
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.
 
to replace Conway will cost more wages a week and A FEE say £5m+ so put him on 4 plus 1 and pay him a wage of £20k a week with add ons and an agreed sell on of say £10m+
 
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.
