What do you want him to do? Hound people at the training ground? Put out videos of him asking questions and being ignored? This is not TMZ. Bristol Post were previously banned from The Quarters, do you not think he's worried about that happening again? If you have suggestions why not contact him on Twitter etc. Just look at the Jamie Hedges interview, he is capable. Mind boggling why so many have it in for him rather than being constructive okebourne managed to ask him a question Bristol Post headline - Rovers owner says "Wait and see" as he shrugs shoulders What cutting edge storytelling and journalism |

The owner was there last night , my mate asked him ‘what’s going on with this club , why are we so bad ? ‘ all he replied was , and I quote, ‘next season , next season you’ll see’ Gorringe was with him also but didn’t say anything he just sort of shrugged his shoulders. Not really news and not much to read into but I thought I’d share Was this in car park after the game? I saw him, TG & a young lady who I presume is Al Saeeds daughter. All 3 laughing and smiling so clearly they are relaxed. |

we are up s**t creek so deep even the paddle won't help! Surely the paddle doesn't really matter regarding the depth? It'll be the current of Sh*t Creek that'll do for us. Oh, or potentially tidal changes depending how close to Sh*t Estuary we are. |

Not really news and not much to read into but I thought I’d share I've suffered watching the dross like everyone else, and I think the owner will have to back Matt financially, or the Mem will be like a graveyard come Christmas, I've paid for next season and the thought of it fills me with apprehension, although if you caught Alex Rodman on Radio he was bigging up George Friend, and saying he was watching loads of games and is a smart operator. Thanks for posting UTG No problem at all, I know it’s hardly much to report but I thought I’d share |

I'm afraid that's no good. I've put stuff I've heard on here and apparently you need two signed statements from first hand witnesses otherwise you'll be poo pooed  Up to people what they want to believe. Look at the South Stand planning and facilities, Pirates Pot, David Bright, Bristol City hotel on sleeve, alleged unpaid invoices, 'come on Bristol' stickers for children, JCH paperwork, Gambling sponsors cock up...I could go on. Not all the new owner either a lot happened under Wael, however well intentioned he may be. We need capable people in position as the proof really is in the pudding. Whether it's lack of attention to detail or trying to scrimp on wages, whatever has happened it hasn't been good enough. Unfortunately for us as fans we have no say, but we can call a spade a spade. The clubs operates like a soap opera. As far as the footballing side of things are concerned we have GF as DoF and CS as HoR, plus MT as manager, who was considered a decent appointment at the time, what other capable people do you expect to be put in charge of the playing side of the club? |

I wonder who else we interviewed and considered for the DoF role, or was Friend the only one? What track record does Chris Spendlove have and was he the best possible candidate for the HoR role? |

Operationally, the club has been handed over to his son. The dad has very little involvement, same with Wael and TG - the son is calling all of the shots. Just what I've heard from those in and around the day-to-day. I'm afraid that's no good. I've put stuff I've heard on here and apparently you need two signed statements from first hand witnesses otherwise you'll be poo pooed That's given me a great idea for a childs gift for those boys down the road. An 82 train set. It goes poo poo. Yes, I'm getting fed up of all this now |

The owners leave me feeling very nervous They may not have bad intentions, but the son is learning on the job. The length of time around the Taylor appointment and the stories that subsequently came out regarding Mangan and Robinson (being promised the job) are very worrying. In my opinion they will stick with Taylor, either out of cost, or negligence. We will rebuild a very direct side and be fighting for survival, they will probably pull the trigger around Christmas time, and we will be stuck with a terrible footballing side under long contracts. We will be lucky to keep our L1 status next season. Have you also bought a lottery ticket because you seem to know the future |

Here's a thought. IF the new owners are mega rich, then what better way to avoid being fleeced this summer than to lie low and not spend much now.
