The elephant in the room though is our current form - he may still be top of the owner's list for now, but i doubt they will give him a free pass on the rest of the season and be satisfied to see us to stutter along and end up finishing 11th again |

Reply | FWIW I don't think it will be Ashton as our CEO
at 10:07 11 Apr 2021
Just wondering, if Ashton is all over the signing of players, which signings that Bristol City fans would put forward as an example of someone who didn't work out or the manager didn't want
Difficult to tell from afar, the one signing that springs to mind as a possibility is Lansbury |

They surely can't do the same as last season again, turn up in the Prem, take the money and make next to no effort to stay up. They need to take some chances this time, although i reckon they will lose some more players this summer - Aarons, Buendia for starters |

Thread | So This Season
at 00:12 8 Apr 2021
Is there any chance the takeover can have an impact on this season?
We can't change the playing squad and players coming to the end of their contracts may now be feeling even more insecure
If PC wants Leam Richardson as his assistant, that's more likely to happen in the summer
So aside from getting some things behind the scenes sorted (which will be a major plus point) are we expecting anything to change during what's left of the season? |

Mick seems to have condensed the three years of good times into a single month at Cardiff and they are already at the early stage of an acrimonious divorce |

I think that Neville and to a certain extent Carragher are far better than others. Watching Arsenal play is tough going when Alan Smith does the commentary.
The problem for me as you say, is watching too much football, especially since Covid when every game seems to be pointless and a training exercise. No crowds to urge the players forwards means endless playing around at the back
The constant churn of fixtures doesn't help either, as much as I like evening games i would be quite hapy with a schedule of 1 league game a week for teams. Have the cup competitions as mid week games only
I have even stopped watching Match of the Day this season - it's fatigue. I enjoy the 2 week break from football that an international week brings |

The only player we have who i think who can drive the team on is Downes. Ideally it should come from midfield, and I don't see anyone else capable of doing so amongst our midfielders |

I liked them eventually. The problem with Flock of Seagulls was that they made a splash in the US before the UK, so the music press were against them from the start as some kind of manufactured (for the American market) sell outs. See also the Fixx |

I agree, but also why is ME firing the manager and therefore having to pay compensation, if a deal is imminent and it would become someone else's problem / expense?
Either
A the deal is imminent and the new owners have said they want PC in ASAP while the final details are sorted
B the deal is nowhere near imminent but ME realised if PL remained the takeover interest may cool if we start losing again
C Some other explanation
I know the rumours were that Cook was seen as part of the takeover, but what if we hire a manager and the new owners want someone else? Stick with Gill/Klug as the interim option? [Post edited 1 Mar 18:01]

And replaced by a manager who had previously managed at Leiston and Maldon & Tiptree. Covid obviously affected the finances, but they are paying for taking the cheap option on a replacement |

at 11:33 1 Feb 2021
I think that says more about how well we did under SBR - consistently overachieved maybe
English clubs to have won a European trophy is a small group
I'd look at how clubs like Wolves and Burnley were struggling in division 4 at times in the 80's after being top English clubs - but before Euro competition |

Definitely agree that a preferred style of play requires some success on the pitch along the way. You would hope that ME isn't actually prepared to wait 5 years until we see these green shoots blossoming. |
