Bristol City CEO Charlie Boss has stated that manager Michael Skubala has the club’s support, despite their recent bad run in the Championship.

After leading Lincoln City to the League One title with 103 points last season, Skubala left Sincil Bank in May to take over at Bristol City, but his time there has not gone as planned.

Pressure is building on Michael Skubala at Bristol City following Norwich City thumping.

Skubala received strong transfer market support upon his arrival at Bristol City, and among the 11 new faces, the club spent big transfer fees on two of League One’s best scorers last season, Lorent Tolaj and Dom Ballard.

After Skubala scored 10 points in his first five league games, the Robins rose to fourth place in the Championship table in early September, but they have won only two of their last ten games, with their home form causing particular concern.

Bristol City suffered their fourth consecutive home defeat on Saturday, losing 5-0 to Norwich City, with goals from Paris Maghoma, Harry Darling, Andre Brooks, and Jovon Makama, as well as Mathias Kvistgaarden’s late penalty, sealing an emphatic victory for the Canaries and ensuring another miserable afternoon for Skubala’s men at home.

As we approach the November international break, the Robins are in 17th in the Championship league, six points behind the play-off places, and some fans have called for Skubala’s dismissal following their dismal defeat to Norwich.

When asked about Saturday’s defeat to Norwich, Boss stated, “It was hugely disappointing, and many of the fans made their feelings known loud and clear at Ashton Gate on Saturday.””I want them to know that everyone shares their frustrations, including the owners,

the board, James Ellis, and the players.””Everyone at this club feels frustrated.”Michael Skubala is the most aware of our need for improvement.Boss stated, “We made this decision because we believe we can overcome this difficult period together.”My goal as CEO is to seek progress in all areas, beginning and ending with first-team performances.”

Boss then addressed the disgruntled Bristol City fans, saying, “I’d like to thank them for all of their support home and away, I know it’s hugely appreciated by the players, and I know it’s hugely appreciated by Michael.”

After many Bristol City fans turned on Skubala following Saturday’s defeat to Norwich, it’s fair to say that Boss’ update on his future was poorly received, with many going to X to vent their displeasure in response to the club’s video.
