Cost Cutting – The Shocking Truth
In a story that is set to send shockwaves reverberating around the corridors and terraces of Ashton Gate, The Incider can exclusively reveal Steve Lansdown's sensational plan to slash costs further at Bristol City – by offloading the entire current first team squad!!
In our secret dossier we uncover Lansdown's strategy to remove all our present players from the payroll, the initial phase of which could be carried out as soon as next summer.
First to feel the weight of the axe on the back of their necks could be Mickey Bell and Tony Butler, who may be forced out of the club as early as the end of the coming season.
Nobody in the current first team squad is likely to survive the massacre, with even fans' favourite, Scott Murray, likely to be released three or four years from now. Not satisfied with that, Lansdown will continue the cull over the years ahead, culminating in the offloading of our current bright young stars, such as Leroy Lita and Ryan Harley, in as little as fifteen years' time.
Even more shockingly, despite statements of support for new City manager, Brian Tinnion, it seems that he too is set to be a victim of the decimation. And it now seems almost certain that, by 2020, Tinnion will no longer be at the helm of the club to which he has dedicated so much of his professional career.
As if that wasn't enough, the very heartbeat of the club - the fans - are also likely to be ousted. In an interview that will sicken every true City supporter, we spoke to Bill Hemmings, a 95 year old red, who has been following Bristol City since 1922.
Bill revealed, “I've been a regular at Ashton Gate for 72 years, yet it seems likely that, by 2020, I won't be coming here anymore. It's a shame the loyalty and dedication I've shown to Bristol City isn't reciprocated by the club. But that's football these days, I guess. It's just money, money, money.”
With the very fabric of the club we all love seemingly ready to be ripped asunder, it seems this story is set to run and run (unlike Aaron Brown).
