@awoodf01 @brumby_fan @CherryColaZA 💯. I would see the game die due to a lack of refs, before I picked up a whistle and put myself and my family through the kind of shit they get.

@ThreeLionsThen @otibfanzine @BristolCity @QPR @BCFC_Supporters @BristolLive @MichelleOwen7 @Bristol_Sport @BCFC_FPA @bristolcitylive @witchhusband Three years?!

Unlike Rob himself, time moves really quickly.

@si_ad @Officially_MK_ With a 30% pension…. the total comp is still miles below market rate for even a middling CTO

Unless, of course, the title is massively inflated, and it’s just a Head of Engineering gig masquerading as something more.

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@BristolCity That goal and all-round performance against Birmingham really showed his ceiling. Outstanding, that day.

Hopefully for him, this move allows him to hit those heights more regularly.

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@BCFCJD That’s why he had a level of patience and support from fans that, frankly, belied his performances and output.

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@BristolCityFM There’s a player in there somewhere.

Playing as an inside forward on the left, being the “out” ball for our D when we turn it over, and either holding it up and laying it off, or driving diagonally infield to are the box.

He’s never going to score goals, but he has value to add

@rugby_dad_146 @Hurdy77 @Champrugby *rugby creditors

Non/rugby creditors got nothing, as I understand it?

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@oaphotography1 @jamiepersonaI This framing is backwards.

Surely moving into a team like City, rather than an upwardly-mobile team like Wrexham, displays a greater level of ambition?

Or stepping away from a “free hit” job at Lincoln, in favour of a role where there is a ton of risk? Again, ambitious.

@OSIBPODMAG If there is a schedule that we are ahead of, then the person who set it needs sacking

In reality though, it’s bullshit… and is the kind of throwaway, childishly-exaggerated line that burns credibility with fans.

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@RugbyInsideLine The “big-spending Bristol” tag has been inaccurate for a number of seasons, now

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@unhippyman Such a shame that the ideas and investment that was put into The Hundred wasn’t instead put into the Blast.

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@RobbieSkeates @KaiserBCFC_ Tbf, there is a big difference between “getting the Assistant at 2006 Bournemouth” and “getting the assistant from one of the most overachieving Prem teams, whose model we should be aspiring to”

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@433FutbolFan @barneyronay Famously, defenders are often required to run the entire length of the pitch in a straight line, so a 100m sprint time is the perfect metric by which to assess them.

@s8mb “allowing social housing tenants to sell their tenancies”

Tenant would get a 500k windfall, but would relinquish their right to social housing… there would be one additional private property in circulation… 500k redistributed from private buyer…

Some pros, some cons

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@RobinNestBCFC Interesting that Iraola is moving on, probably to a much bigger job… at the same time, Elphick is going solo.

Impossible to know what it means, good or bad… but it’s an interesting diversion from the standard “manager goes to bigger job, assistant follows him”.

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@DrHoenderkamp @Keir_Starmer Do you feel the same about paying for old people who were too careless to save sufficient amounts to fund their own retirements?

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@BCFC_Supporters My only concern is that we haven’t ended up with a Mousinho, or someone else we had to fight for.

Had Mousinho been announced, it would have been because he got SL to commit to significant spending, because he would have been in a position to demand it.

Not sure TE could have

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@sgred06 @DanCarterJourno @RobinNestBCFC @JPercyTelegraph Unproven?

You might not have know much about him at the time, but that doesn’t mean he was unproven.

He had managed in four different countries, and had managed bigger clubs than City in each of his previous two jobs…

[Alex @BS3Alex]

@RobinNestBCFC My big worry with any coach coming out of a well-run club, is how effective they can be in a club that is less well-run, and without the support network and infrastructure that they are used to.
