http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Lans...ution-buying/story-15155532-detail/story.html So Lansdown is buying Bristol Rugby. He makes all the expected noises about sticking with City, but as a tax exile he can only visit this country a limited number of times. Does he see the link-up with Rovers at the new UWE ground as the way ahead?
No, He's planning on buying their ground back from the pikey thieves who stole it and then proceeding to make them homeless in return when their dreams of a new home collapse in to pieces as usual. as they will never be able to afford it. He doesn't like Rovers he has publicly said so!
I understand Nick Higgs is a tax exile and spends most of his time living off and developing his business interest's in Italy,this was also the given reason why it took "gasheads" so long to appoint Mcgoo..
Meant in jest, but could be near the truth........ After all, there's only so much money that he can throw at 82 for little return.....
**** me put any money into your **** heap of a club he would get no return stick to your higgs and barnet away
Take no notice Shiny, Bluebaldee has always been jealous over our chairman, but who wouldn't eh! We have the best chairman in the whole league, they have the worst.
You're quite obsessed with me being jealous Banks, aren't you? I do think that Lansdown is a good and loyal chairman - Christ knows he has to be after flushing tens of millions down the toilet that is 82. He's the only very wealthy Bristolian that genuinely tries to help Bristol to punch its weight in the world of sport. But I do enjoy ribbing you about him, and you do seem to like lapping it up!
Trouble is Baldee your a one trick poster, it sounds to me like you have an unhealthy obsession with Steve Lansdowns money. Where he lives? how much he has? How he likes to waste it? How much tax he should pay? just comes across as sounding like jealousy to me! Pirate/ teach/ KHN /Arrow, Etc, you're quite right I should say ex chairman!
It's all relative really - £30m to a man like Lansdown. How does that compare with an ordinary working man buying a Rovers season ticket - now that is a poor return on more limited resources!!!
As much as i love having SL as our Chairman, we all seem to forget that he originally wanted to buy Rovers, but the board wouldnt allow the deal to go through.....
"As much as i love having SL as our Chairman, we all seem to forget that he originally wanted to buy Rovers, but the board wouldnt allow the deal to go through" Thats complete bollocks Mr gas and SL has denied it ever happened himself!
