Chairman Mao Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Is Landsdown trying to be an ass. This is absurd. 5 points from over 2 and a half months and away to the league leaders next. Johnson is humilating himself, the players (who are also culpable) and the club. Can't blame him for wanting a juicy pay off. Lansdown, stop with the nepotism and jobs for mates and sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Someone suggested that he might have some info on Steve that he would rather was not made public. Others suggest that they are good friends. Personally, I believe that Steve is thinking longer term, even if we get relegated and then promoted again along the way.

Inactive user Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 The real question is why the hell did the board sanction a shed load of new signings in January? Sheer madness in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A relegation proves he isn't long term. SL would have to be completely hatstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepUpLino Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 The whole BCFC situation is absurd, a football club that lurches from one disaster to the next... lost for words would be a lie, we're all used to this shit.... The only difference from the Lesley Kew days are a shiny new ground... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Went wrong against Cardiff and since then just three wins (two against the bottom 2 teams) looking at Wigan and Burton performing better than us at the moment, it's a little worrying to say the least.

Gudgey16 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Leicester have just sacked the man that got them the Premier League Title, Are you watching Mr Lansdown??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Maybe people suggesting the club save money if he goes when we are in the bottom three places may be near the truth, otherwise it is distinctly odd And as usual our wonderful Board say nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I blame Fulham for not taking there chances , which if they did would of won 5/6 nil. Also been up 4 nil at half time chants would of started earlier then again if rumours are true and SL wasn't even there then who knows!!!! Yet those results alone up to Christmas was enough to sack him, I like how Passionate SL is for this club but being too loyal is going to hurt us so bad and himself financially.

Johnson has never got a team beyond mid table in League One so what hope would we have of promotion? Better to get the League One double winner back in that scenario.

AshtonG666 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Even if LJ keeps us up, does anybody trust him to pull a decent season out the bag next year as I don't if I'm honest I think he would struggle to get us back into the championship again if we drop down into league 1 and that's why he has to go as he has lost the fans and will struggle to gain that back again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame him for wanting a juicy pay off. Lansdown, stop with the nepotism and jobs for mates and sort it out. Well the question to consider is whether when a club is in difficulty the answer is always to change the manager. If you are in business and the business is not doing well, there are a lot of things you would think of before you sacked the Chief Executive, but in football all responsibility is attributed to the manager and none to the players, which is interesting. The problem with football is the secrecy that underpins it - none of us really knows what is going on, as yesterday's farcical threads on this forum prove. Frankly, I don't know what has gone wrong at City, and so I have no idea whether the appropriate solution is to sack the manager. Clearly something has to be done, but presumably Steve Lansdown and the Board are not complete fools (well, we have to hope that) and if they felt that a change of manager was the appropriate solution to our problems, he would have gone. There is a lot of money at stake for them, and I'm sure that the last thing Lansdown wants is for us to be relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 There's more to this than just a decision about sacking a football manager. I'd like to ask SL "when did you last keep someone in their job at Hargreaves Lansdown who was putting millions of pounds at risk and was publicly doing such a poor job - the worst job in the company's history?" To use the analogy further - he's flying in the face a right-minded shareholders who would demand action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
