00:00Bristol City are entering a new chapter with the recent appointment of Gerhard Struber.
00:07As their new manager, Struber replaces Liam Manning, who left for Norwich City.
00:12The Austrian coach, known for his high-intensity and possession-based style,
00:17previously managed Barnsley, New York Red Bulls, RB Salzburg and FC Cologne.
00:23Despite being dismissed by Cologne when they were in promotion positions,
00:27Struber's experience is seen as a perfect fit to guide the Robins forward in the championship.
00:34Alongside the managerial change, Bristol City has attracted takeover interests from Saudi businessman Turk al-Sheikh.
00:42At 43, he's well-known for his roles in the boxing world
00:45and is chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority.
00:50The prospect of his ownership signals the potential for substantial investment at Ashton Gate,
00:56which could dramatically reshape the club's ambitions.
01:01If Al-Sheikh's takeover precedes AI Simulations,
01:05Sam predicted a bold transfer window for the Robins.
01:08Defensively, Bristol City could spend around £20m to sign Cameron Carter-Vickers from Celtic
01:15and bring Yeri Mina back to England from Caligari.
01:18In midfield, the club is linked with a £12m move for Emi Buendia from Aston Villa.
01:25Buendia spent time on loan at Bayer Leverkusen last season and would add creativity and flair.
01:33Bristol City attack could also be strengthened with the signings of Ben Bereton-Diaz for £7m
01:37and Gerison Raksaki for £5m.
01:41Bereton-Diaz currently at Southampton and Raksaki, owned by Crystal Palace,
01:46would provide a much-needed competition and youth.
01:50Finally, a marquee signing of Andrew Kramovic from Hoffenheim for around £15m is speculated.
01:57Kramovic, formerly of Leicester, has been prolific in Germany, scoring 143 goals.
02:02Together, Struber's tactical approach and potential financial backing
02:07could transform Bristol City into genuine promotion contenders in the second tier.
