Robbored Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 With no statement let alone action from the club regarding Juniors position the best thing that could happen at Newcastle tomorrow is for City to get hammered 6-0 or by some other hugely embarrassing score line. It would be another loss and no points but worth it because such a humiliating defeat woul force Junior to fall on sword or for SL to act and sack him. There'd be no excuse not to.

chickenhands Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I don't post here ever but the thread I read that made most sense on all this (sorry forget who by) was that he probably has a clause in his contract from the get go (or certainly in the contract extension) that he can be fired if we're in the relegation places without financial penalty. It's the only thing that makes sense as to why we've waited so long to get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only time I didn't mind us getting pasted was Millen's last game vs Blackpool. It's not a nice situation to be in but sometimes it's for the greater good.

For me, and point you are trying to make totally goes out the window by your constant use of the term "Junior". Do you really think it adds anything to your argument to resort to such pettiness?

Have a word. Obviously that's unlikely to happen anyway. More realistically is he'll be gone by this time next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Robbo isn't saying that. More of a 'best thing in the long run' scenario (as Glenn Hoddle would say) God knows I don't want City getting humped tomorrow, but if they put up a Fulham-esque performance then there's a real chance That being said, I'm having a fiver on us to win. It's what we do (rarely, but I'm sure if I think hard enough I can come up with one in the last 30 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry2157. Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I said at the time, beating Rotherham was the worst thing to happen as it gave an excuse for him to stay.

Fiale Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 The players approached MA in January, it's not like the board were not warned what was happening. They chose to show they back LJ by giving him a contract extension leaving no doubt in the players mind. Since then, short of all the players just sitting down on the half way line I am not sure what needs to happen for people to realise they have zero faith in LJ.
