Bristol City verdict: The Robins' £40m man, Sam Bell comes of age and the pair of unsung heroes All the talking points as Bristol City book their spot in the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 3-0 victory over West Brom https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-verdict-sam-bell-8086320
Pearson may have inherited a "financial quagmire", as some have called it, but he also inherited some real gems in Semenyo, Scott, Conway and Bell.... Not all of the 65 were 'bad uns'.
It is; how is it on Planet Hate and No Recognition? If you think all 65 were bad un's, there is no hope for you RP, and your comments on here would hold no credibility. I know this isn't the case, as aside from your hatred for LJ, Nepotism, waffle, new training methods, small men etc., your points of view are generally on the money.
Bryan and Reid went on loan and learned their trade, so the coaches and managers at those clubs. Kelly only played a handful of first team games, so whoever was the academy coach at the time in his case.
Loans were indeed big aids in the development of Bryan, and Reid, as it was with Semenyo. As a club we may not always have got the transfer and wages policy quite right, regardless of who’s in charge, but we do seem to handle our youth talent well.
