I wonder what my father would have made of it ? He always wanted Bristolian clubs to do well. It used to wind me up but, dare I say it on here, I am starting to feel that way myself as I age. my father is similar. While I enjoy teasing the ones from the wrong side that I know, and every little defeat of theirs is a small joy in its way, I don't particularly want them to do badly. As long as its less well than us

I work with a lot of s**theads, proper ones as well. They all have 'a thousand yard stare' at the moment. I almost feel sorry for them. When I point out that SL has more interest in Bristol RFC than BCFC 82ltd that's why they are getting a cheap option manager they look absolutely crestfallen. 'That ground is for when Premiership Rugby comes to town, not for you lot...' The penny drops and their worst fears are realised. Oh dear.

He's gonna have to hit the ground running. Honeymoon period - first 45mins of his first game!

I think it is all rather strange. They came out saying they had some fantastic names who have applied for the job, who have a lot of quality and they got over 40 applicants to choose from. They have took a lot of time in making their minds up, using up the whole transfer window in the process. Now, instead of picking someone who actually wants the job, who apparently has a lot of quality, they instead approach someone else who didnt actually apply for the job and have to try and persuade him to leave his current position. I would love to see the names of these 40 applicants just to compare. Do you honestly believe they had 40 genuine managers, apply ? Championship level football club, within a few months of a 30,000 redeveloped ground, billionaire owner prepared to back with the right signings, premier club in the region for many miles and large fan base to draw on.... Yeah can't see 40 managers interested in that can you?

Maybe Stevie Boy is prepared to try to buy your way out of trouble, but there are plenty of other very wealthy people in that division as well as him, and it may have escaped your attention, but you are in a relegation position, you couldn't get a manager whilst the transfer window was open, now it's shut, the only players left are pie-boys, kids and blokes with knee-knack who can't get a game anywhere else. How could this happen to such a massive club?

Who are all these amazing loans & free agents that SL will splash out on to save them from relegation? it's a rubbish time to get players.
A decent coach using the existing squad plus maybe a few new faces may well save them but this assumption that they can buy themselves out of trouble just sums up their arrogance.

Re LJ.
The BIG problem they have created for themselves is a top heavy structure with D of F and a CEO.
No MANAGER will want the head coach job so 100s of quality managers are ruled out already.

The fact is it's a lot cheaper to achieve premiership rugby status than football, if bristol rugby archieve that this season and city are back in league one it's pretty obvious to say football will take a backseat in the Bristol sport world, Rochdale at ashton gate or european cup rugby and games against bath, leicester etc. Lansdown was never a massive footie fan anyway it's all about ego, he'll be able to massage that effectively when bristol join the elite.

Nothing to say about the shambles of not being able to appoint a manager whilst the transfer window was open then? As for where we stand in the pyramid, on the first day of next season we could well be separated by the fact that C comes before R in the alphabet.

I hope he gets it; how many clubs will have the honour of sacking father and son managers? It is a great story waiting to happen. Please let it come to pass......please. Also hope that Barnsley win the Sherpa van trophy and get promoted.
How many Johnson jokes will be made if he leaves and they win that trophy?
This could be a delicious few months.

What would be even funnier is if Lee gets appointed to the sh*t job, takes them down and Barnsley get promoted (after winning the Paint Pot Trophy too !).

'Deluded' His brother had a lucky escape as he wanted a season ticket to sit next to him at Trashton but couldn't get one so didn't bother. So that's two of them who don't attend......Come on Bristol RFC.....they'll be fitting blue seats next
