And they wonder why the big names are not rolling into town. A famous saying to many chiefs and not enough indians. sums up Ashton Gate very well.
It's all been said before, an innumerable amount of times over. As long as the Lansdown family own the club, do not listen to any of the hype coming out of AG, do not expect sustainable upward progress, or expect a place in the EPL in your lifetime because at this rate it wont happen. I have no issue with LJ personally. I'm not one of the ones that's continually moaned and sniped about him since he left, but I seriously question the wisdom in giving him the job right now, if that's what happens. And it think it's more than likely that it will. I thought his Oldham side were a credit to him last season when they played down here. But I'd rather have had a Warnock or someone come in and try to preserve our Championship status between now and May. Now we've 5 newish players, some loans some perms, that the new manager has not had a say in recruiting. What a farcical situation. Again. If Lee gets the job he'll need balls of steel from some sections of the crowd. But if he keeps us up he'll be a hero.
One thing I can say about LJ...he is mentaly very strong, he will need to be with some of the fans down AG, the boo boys taunts will be like water off a ducks back to him.
Mr Ashton, Burt and Griffiths all have extensive experience in football. Burt and Griffiths at larger clubs than Bristol City.
