    They might be, but not with him in charge.

    We'll soon find out how good he is, the set up is there, billionaire owner, city club with a large potential fan base, rebuilt stadium etc etc.

    I'll stick my neck out too.

    In 5 years time Pasquale won't be managing a football club at league level. And Bristol City won't have gotten to the Premiership.

    Well they have the resources to get there with the money they have from the owner, new stadium and being in a City would probably help too. But i doubt it will happen.

    I understand where the bad feeling comes from, but for me the jury is still out on whether or not LJ is a good manager.
    Not everything that was bad was down to him as not everything that was good was down to him either.

    He's at an early stage in his career so has plenty of time to learn. We've certainly had much worse managers IMHO

    I don't hold any bad feeling against Lee Johnson

    He accepted. The job was too big for him and moved to a smaller club

    I've no bad will for him. Especially as somehow we managed to get compensation for him. I didn't rate him as a manager though. I thought it was very disappointing how he'd highlight players "failures" (in his eyes) in a public environment. As a result, I can see how many of the players he alienated came out of their shell more after he left. And even though he started an upturn of fortune, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have achieved what we ultimately did once he'd gone. Heckingbottom was a uniting factor Pasquale could never attain.

    Some of his negative traits could have been naivety, and you'd hope he'd take a few more bullets for performances as his career progresses.

    I'd expect Keith Hill to have done a better job if he'd been manager while we were in division 1

    bristol city are a smaller club? they're a city, we're a town. bigger average attendance, billionaire owner and shelling out £45m on a 27,000 capacity redevelopment. they're a bigger club than us in probably every relevant sense

    The thing is though, when has the perceived size of a club (or potential to be big) ever correlated with success? It simply hasn't.

    Unless you're spending obscene amounts, like City and Chelsea have, then money is a negligible factor to a point as well as its so easy to waste a fortune.

    I don't really give a flying what Bristol City do but the confidence their fans have is a bit cringeworthy, talking like Leeds and Wednesday fans have over the last 15 years and they've done naff all and are actually big clubs*

    *i define a big club by being one that sustains a large fan base during lean times, getting over 20,000 fans a week in your ground in division 3 is pretty large.

    They are bigger than us today. Their history in the third tier is irrelevant
