The club need to be sustainable is their way of putting in it! BUT the bringing in of Manning and firing the guy that was actually keeping us sustainable is a rod to beat with them with! However we need to remain within FFP. Hiring Johnson has had a massive knock on effect and only one person is responsible for that as we/he knows!

Barrs Court Red Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Some of those goals were a disgrace. But then it’s fair to say the effort matched those of the hierarchy in trying to be competitive, so ultimately the club has got what it deserved. Ultimately a massive opportunity wasted to at least try and cement a place at the top table in a growing market. I do wonder if the losses of playing at AG in the Championship will outstrip what it would have cost to bring in a couple of players.

RedRock Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 That ‘performance’ was a fitting tribute for the last use of those ‘orrible yellow shirts which, hopefully, will now be consigned to history. A more shambolic effort would have been hard to envisage. The City team appeared to have reverted back to the bad old days of women’s football where players seemed to have the skill sets, mental and physical strengths equivalent to an 8 year old boys side. I hope that I’m wrong, but I’m fearing the return of the ‘comfy club’ culture in both the women’s and men’s side of football. It was an embarrassing weekend for both with inept, limp-waisted performances. Steve Lansdown needs to be true to his word and stop us being a national ‘joke’ as regards to the City’s sporting offer. He needs to get a strong, forceful, mature and football-experienced CEO in urgently to stop the rot in this football club. Change the ‘that’ll do’, jobs for the boys, soft Bristolian culture to a hard-edged, win-at-all-costs one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I left after the 7th (to go back & sit on the supporters coach) Chelsea outplayed City on Sunday, simple as. Some good chances from City, and good that it was only 2-0 at half time.

It would have been no effort for me to attend this game (250 loyalty points for two tickets, live 2 minutes away from ground), but I'm so glad I didn't. Fair play to the fans that have turned up week in week out throughout the season. Hope The Championship is better next season. I can't see it being different next season. I've said it before, there's such a gulf between the 2 leagues, just like the men's game. Without money you can't compete and we know the Lansdowns won't do that. Also Smith has been woeful tactically this season. I'd recruit a new coach and greater experience in the squad. They could struggle and be mid table. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
