Roy's View From... View From Bristol City

[niktheblade]

Them parachute payments allowing us to spend £24m on Brewster..... 5 years ago

 

[Chimpan-A]

Some get it, others have gone down the route pedalled by media channels like those clowns on the Second Tier podcast, which is how unlucky Bristol City were, and it’s all down to the sending off. They weren’t unlucky, they were battered. There wasn’t a single moment in the two games where I was worried, as we were better than them man for man and as a team.

I love how people keep quoting Brewster’s price tag as being a result of parachute payments, 1) because we paid for him while we were in the Prem and 2) isn’t the general consensus that he isn’t worth that? You can’t have it both ways!

View From Bristol City — The View From

"Good luck to Sheffield United in the final - by far the better team over the two legs." "Beaten by a far better team no shame in that. We can hold our heads high and we go again next season." "An aggregate scoreline that shows the difference in quality between the two sides. Well done

"If there’s one thing we can take is that we can compete with most Champ clubs except maybe Sunderland and Leeds with fanbase and support off the pitch”

Don't know how getting thumped 6-0 creates that thought, but okay.

This is my favourite comment. Not only of the evening, but of the season. Maybe of all time.

Please, please, please let somebody post that on Owlstalk.

“Would like to have another crack at SU next season.”

You sure about that pal ?

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I wonder if Leeds and Burnley had to put up with all this “parachute payment” bullshit.

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.

Very comfortably 2nd best on the pitch & off.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Now for the Final

Thanks Roy

 

[Argentinemanager]

Cheers roy, come on who off here put the one on near the end and the name of the ground was a totally new one, cheers

I imagine so, but it's not bullshit imo. The payments help enormously, our budget is much higher than theirs and it showed.

Felt like us last season, getting to the 60th minute and having Spurs or Liverpool bring on five more players that would be our best player by miles, while we bring on Larouci, Osborn, Osula and Slimani.

Soz, it’s utter bullshit. Whereas I do agree PP are a thing. Almost every team in the Championship (with the exception of PNE and Bristol City) have made that initial leap and broken through the so called parachute disparity. At the start of every season all teams know that it is possible to buck the trend and should really stop bleating on about it. PP are a hard earned benefit of promotion if managed correctly…See Luton.

It's possible to buck the trend, but that doesn't mean the advantage is not significant. Leicester won the PL, but surely nobody would argue that the gap between the biggest teams and the rest hasn't grown in the last twenty years.

PP are necessary given the fucked up financial disparity between the PL and Championship, but they pass some of that disparity down into the Championship. It's absurd to discount PP from a conversation regarding ourselves and Bristol City, just like it'd be absurd to not mention Man City's owners and spending in relation to us.

 

[Racing Blade]

The bloke who says they are 0-6 in play offs appears to have forgotten one.

Think they mean 0 promotions from 6 play off campaigns, much as we've won a few semi finals along the way, without ultimately succeeding.

Except it was only 18m in the end. Still a lot mind!

 

[coaxingstar71]

Come on own up Roygbiv , I think you're now copying and pasting half of these comments from every other view from... £25m striker, parachute payments... blah blah blah.

 

[elgoog44]

I came here for Salty tears and this “Horrible manager , horrible fans , horrible club , hope they lose at Wembley !! “ and bloody parachute team is all they can give me very disappointing!!

 

[SUFC Guy]

Can't fault their support on the night. Top effort!

 

[redandwhitewizard]

If only pretty much everything had been different they might have done a lot better.

 

[Crackers]

Thanks Roy & great tune - saw them at the Top Rank in 1980 and the Lyceum a few years later

 

[coaxingstar71]

Once again, I don't get all the Wilder hate, I can only assume it's a bit of jealousy. He's never anything but respectful towards the opposition and was again last night.

Apart from in 1988?

2nd gear Blades are going to Wembley!

Have to credit their fans for staying (literally) with the team for majority of Match.

 

[Large Mendonca]

I think it's worth mentioning how well we managed the pitch on the final whistle. We did the same pretty much when we achieved promotion 2 years ago against West Brom. I wonder if we'll get recognition for that? I doubt it. It's pretty crap how Burnley / Forest get away with their disgraceful pitch invasions against us

The same fans that laugh at our Premier league relegation, are tge same ones that moan that we get parachute payments.
Remember that.

Cheers Roygbiv

Cov fans are a bit like our inbred neighbours, mostly muppets but with a mix of decent people !
My cov supporting mate gets embarrassed with a lot of the antics some of them get up to .
He messaged me last night with how impressed he was with us ! Hates lampard being manager because hes taking credit for the work Robins did .

 

[Frank the tank]

It was nice of the Premier League to.just randomly give us parachute money
Maybe it was reward for having to sell academy players to build a squad that got us promoted through league one and finished 9th in the prem
Justa. Thought
