WessexPest Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 The manager is merely a sideshow as far as I'm concerned - as long as the current regime is in place we will continue to round in circles. Lansdown may not be short on a few quid but it takes more than that to run a football club competently, and he completely clueless. He's burned through managers like nobody's business - when it keeps ending in failure you need to look up the chain to see where the buck truly stops. I'll get a lot of stick for this post, but I don't care one iota - I want BCFC to succeed and under SL I see us stuck in a yo-yoing rut at best. "Alright then, AA - who have you got in mind to replace him?" I don't know the answer to that question but look at the Scum - they were dissatisfied with Higgs and eventually someone came in; they seem happy with Al-Qadi even though he had no obvious connection with the club. City are a more tempting proposition than the Gas. I don't care if we are taken over by someone who has scrumpy running through his veins, I just want someone who can properly run our club. By all means sack LJ - he's been found wanting at this level, but -oh! - where did we hear that before? Precisely a year ago. Unforgivable. Lansdown - off you toddle and take Mark Ashton with you.

Mr Hankey Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Dont think Lansdown or Ashton are to blame for any of this. Lansdown has pumped the most he ever has in to transfers this season and i think we will all agree that the players signed all excited us. Just a shame that Lee Johnson and his mate Holden are a pair of feckless frauds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Jesus. We've got our first year in a stadium paid for by SL and he should twoddle off. When his son and heir is a known fan and could sustain our future throughout our kids' lifetime. Dreary me. Think the OP should go play with traffic.

M.D Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Be careful what you wish for... SL has made mistakes yes I agree but we would be nowhere near where we are without him.. i think he has tried to take a step back from running the club and has put a footballing man in with MA but what he needs to do now is invest heavily in the most important person in the club, the manager/head coach and let them take us forward along with MA. its the only way we will progress in this league and give it a few years and aim high. he will have to accept people running this club for him and will Cost a fair few quid but it's the only way we will ever get to have a stab at moving up from this league. At the moment we are moving down from this league in a spectacular fashion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hope you got your tin hat on AA. It's gonna have some dents! FWIW, SL is a businessman. He is not a football coach, player or scout. We might be his 'plaything' like our blue neighbours say. But he's chucked a stupid amount of money at us and is yet to be bored. His son, also a businessman, will one day take over. I feel that eventually, we'll do a Cardiff. Spunk the cash and go up. Then straight back down and live off the parachutes. Then we will yo-yo between the two ala Sunderland or Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't deserve any bad words? He is the owner, he is the one employing all these managers and sacking them in the not so distant future. Don't get me wrong, he has done alot for this Club but to say he is immune from any form of criticism would be ridiculous. The bottom line is it is his club, it is failing, mainly down to the man HE appointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Jr. Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Can't understand what Mark Ashton can really be blamed for. He's got us good players. Not his fault if some of them have got injured/underperformed/allegedly argued with the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Wish we could go and get Pardew, he would be a revalation at this level. However it would cost a fortune to hire him, a fortune to hire his backroom staff, a fortune to pay off lee and his coaching staff and another fortune to give the new manager the support he would demand in the transfer market. So while SL may have deep pockets, it's most unlikely he will want to go down that route on top of what he has already spent this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look at Brighton and what they are doing, last year they posted losses of over £25 million, to compete in this league without parachute payments at the top thats what we will have to spend..
