The Bristol City Chronicle
Market24 Aug 2026
Bristol City spend $18.4M to raise the standard
This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $18.4M has been paid because Martín Ojeda is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.
Market24 Aug 2026
Bristol City sign Dante Cassanova for $4.5M
The paperwork is done: Dante Cassanova joins from Tottenham in a deal worth $4.5M. Now comes the harder part.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Rhys Williams arrives at the club he grew up with
Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Rhys Williams has, at Bristol City, and the first month will show what that does to a man.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Tempers go at Bristol City
Jason Knight was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
The terraces24 Aug 2026
$18.4M for Martín Ojeda, and Bristol City supporters approve
Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Martín Ojeda from Orlando City for $18.4M, and a ticket office having a very good morning.
Match22 Aug 2026
Stoke City take the points off Bristol City
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
Mark Gillespie gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Words at Bristol City training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Neto Borges is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
Edward Young answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
In brief
- Squad The formation has left Rhys Williams behind
- The dugout The form table has caught Iván Sandoval
- Market The Jason Knight talk will not go away
