Bristol City say no — this time
The offer from Aalborg for Jason Knight was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Graduation day at Bristol City
2 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Jason Knight was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Bristol City rebuffed over Pascal Struijk
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Brighton have kept their man, and Bristol City go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The phone has started ringing about Lewis Thomas again, and this time the name on the line is Burton Albion. Bristol City are listening politely and promising nothing.

One of our own: Harry Russell joins the Bristol City first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Harry Russell is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The dugout17 Aug 2026
The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Michael Moore was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Bristol City dressing room was either.
In brief
- The dugout Alex Rolfini dropped after a run of poor form
- Boardroom Bristol City say no to the training-ground money
- Match No goals between Bristol City and Watford
