And he has the ambition to match City’s Premier League target, telling Robins TV: “It was an easy decision. I’m very excited about moving forward with Bristol City and the ambition that they have is certainly something that brought me here. The drive and determination to move the team into the Premier League is going to be backed by myself.

“I’m so impressed by the facilities, the building (Robins High Performance Centre) and the set-up that Bristol City have got. I’m very excited for the challenge and moving forward.”

Are they exclusive? Can you not raffle shirts if you’re buying players? Do you think Robins has been doing the rounds at the local Working Men’s Clubs?

He was a very good player, did a good job but please let's not act like this is the end of the world yeah?

We'll strengthen in that area before the season starts.

Just a wild guess but maybe its the global pandemic and no fans being allowed into games for 18 months?

I get that, but come on now.

I've been very pro sisu last few years. But this is a massive window for us. We need to establish in the championship and it seems to me we're dealing with fuck all again. I dont see the justification for that with another year of champo money and 10k season tickets

Did I say that Parksy dear boy?

We'll be stronger than last season.

But to be truthful to give James a 3 year deal would been far too much of a risk of Cov so swings and roundabouts.

I'm not saying we should go out and spunk money. Far from it.


What im saying is, were what, 4 or 5 proven championship players away from solid mid table. Them players are out there and on a free

Pay them 10 or 15k a week. Yes ohares our highest earmer on 10k if to be believed, but we have to bite the bullet at some point

Matty James is not the only target we have. We have another 6 weeks. If in 4 weeks we haven’t signed anyone then it’s time to worry.

We move on to the next. Chris Badlan wouldn’t have been twiddling his thumbs for the past year, we’ll have a list to go on

At the end of the day the club needs to try and maximise revenue wherever possible, especially away from the traditional means - something they've been relatively useless at in the past.

It might look a bit desperate but it's a pretty easy way of raising funds.

Or, back in the real world your perception of what would happen was completely false.

I think we will be relegated in January this year, so can consider that a marked improvement.

4 weeks is not the time to worry. We need some new players in for the start of pre-season. That's how we've done it every year under MR, if we don't this time then it shows something is up.

I'm glad we haven't taken the bait on that. Way out of our budget and if his knee goes again then you're stuck with him.

Good job you have form for talking shite then ain't it.

We'll be better than last season just by standing still. A fully fit Walker, Godden, Rose and Dabo with a full preseason in them makes us better than last year, That's before anyone who we make sign in the 6 fucking weeks before the season starts.

We do need a left back though

I wouldn't have given James a 3 year contract either. If 20k per week is true it doesn't point to any problems at CCFC.

Exactly. I think fans have the right to air their frustrations but comparing it to the Mowbray catastrophe is both premature and massively far fetched as that just wouldn't happen again. Not now when we have a solid recruitment team in place.

That's over 3 million quid on 1 player. We'd be stupid to try and beat that.

I alluded to the first friendly in an earlier post. Whilst I won’t wait for 4 weeks, I won’t be panicking until then. Eyebrow will be raised if we don’t have one in before the first friendly
