We really need to get this ‘we’re bigger than Bristol’ out our head because currently and for the foreseeable we clearly are not. They are in the division above, about as mid table as you can get with a good mix of a squad with a young highly regarded manager. Granted they’re not the next big thing that will come out the championship but we are present are miles behind them. Bird had stagnated at Derby and probably stayed too long resulting in us receiving a lower fee, 🤔 sounds familiar. Bird was never going to be our Bannan and run games to drag us out the league. He looked average more often than not and had he not come through the academy the feeling would be different. We went through tough times together but the time is right for all parties to move on.
