I wish i could be as big an idiot to establish a business that is now one of the biggest in the UK from scratch. Yet again chippenhamgas defending the sh1t. If he ain't defending the sh1t he's attacking the Gas. Heavens forbid a ROVERS fan would make a derogatory comment about city's owner..... Anyone would think...... No better not. I wasn't defending the sh**, i was countering a ridiculous statement that the man is an idiot when he clearly isn't. He's chucked a lot of money down the drain but that's football for you, there are no guarantees and you put your faith in other people, it is completely different to any other business. On the field they have made no progress but off the field he has put the infrastructure in place for them, just as Harry Dolman did years ago. I state facts rather than emotive partisan bullshit. Let's hope at last we have someone who will be able to put the infrastructure in place so we can finally compete with them.

Possibly you are right, but where do you think they would be without his endless blank cheques. No worse than Div 1? So worst off than they are now and playing in their old stadium. Before anyone else jumps in with their s##thead jibes. I am as unhappy as any of you that Lansdown chose to chuck his money at that sh1tpit and I'm glad that despite all of his money they've managed to f@ck up. Our current owners seem to be putting us on the right track and hopefully they will get us to where they are now, but that has not happened yet which is why I don't think comparing owners is appropriate. Besides which gloating and crowing are the sort of traits you expect from that mob.

It's pretty obvious that the comment was about his footballing nous, not his financial knowledge. Facts have context, too.

They take a chance with a manager, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. The only thing you can influence is off the field which will be his legacy, a modern stadium bought and paid for.

Lots of football team owners own successful teams and he doesn't. I'm sure it's slightly more complex than sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. If someone thinks he's an idiot, I don't see the problem with posting it. Especially if it's football related on a footballing forum. Not sure that Gasheads on a Gashead forum need to be policed by the un-emotive, fact based, un-partisan, bullshit detector truth sayer, when it's pretty obvious it's a throwaway comment on a football forum. It's not even a partisan issue, in any case, coz most sheeds seem to think he's an idiot, too.

Let's hope at last we have someone who will be able to put the infrastructure in place so we can finally compete with them. Perhaps the point is that despite the huge amounts of money he has poured into the sh1t ON the field as well as off it, they are really no further forward than when he came in. Trashton is no better now than it was in comparison with others when he took over, a half decent 2nd tier ground. The team is not good enough for the Championship but probably too good for league One, much as they were when he took over. In fact it could be argued that he has poured a lot more in than other owners have with much less success, so the question remains why is that. The only conclusion is that he has made some poor appointments, particularly of managers/head coach and the suspicion is that his ego dictates that he surrounds himself by yes men and people who won't deflect the glory away from him, to the overall detriment of the football team.

I don't think that 1982 ltd own their sparkly new stadium do they?
Doesn't that now belong to Bristol Sport?
As far as I am aware 82 and Bristol Rugby pay a fee to Bristol Sport to stage matches at the stadium.
I remember that the Rosy Cheeked Lady Garden complained that rugby attendances weren't what they had hoped/expected. That's because, you dull Lady Garden, a great many rugby fans didn't like you uprooting the club from its traditional roots. They have protested by staying away. That's the trouble with having that kind of wealth where you can buy and own anything you fancy. People who advise become syncophants, and will continue Nls say what you want to hear.

Rosy Cheeked £unt
I love that description because it's so unfair, illogical and just so right.
Was it Hugo who invented it?

He's done bugger all for them apart from sign endless blank cheuques . All those millions wasted and both his vanity projects look like being no higher than when he started. The blokes an idiot. I wish i could be as big an idiot to establish a business that is now one of the biggest in the UK from scratch. You never know there's still hope. Would you also spunk £150m on the gas only to see us at the same level? Less of course the £30m he's spent on the stadium. That's only £120m he's wasted. Clever chap.

Yeah how terrible that would be, having a brand new stadium state of the art academy endless budget and security of tenure forever. How lucky we are. Crikey, you'd even come across as a simpleton on OTIB. The comments Cyril Sneer came out with today would sound overly despotic from most foreign football club owners, let alone one that is supposedly a local supporter. Fairly concerning for my mates of the red deposition.

What was clear to me was that Landsdown see the sh*t as HIS club and has very little regard for the supporters ...when asked about fans who pay good money to watch, I found it revealing how quickly he reported 'I pay a lot more money than the supporters' which must make them fell pretty much an irrelevant as far as Landsdown and his business plan is concerned. The message came through as 'I fund the club' and so two fingers to the fans. Not a nice attitude in my view.
