Richard Gould was the last man standing at the Robins High Performance Centre in the final hours of the summer window. The light of his office illuminated a small portion of the training pitch at Failand as the clock struck 11pm and little had materialised for Bristol City.
Not that the Robins expected to be busy, Nigel Pearson had long turned in and was largely content with his squad, but the CEO was on standby in case any late deals went through in the Championship that could present an opportunity, both in terms of incomings or outgoings.
A similar situation is likely to transpire today as City will effectively be dictated by what happens elsewhere regarding their rivals in the division.
