wookey Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 The worst scenario of all is, by some miracle, avoiding relegation and then being stuck with LJ for another season. Unless he could be loaned out to a non-league club to gain experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary thing is that would no longer shock me. I can imagine a terrible City performance against Burton, but somehow City scrape a draw or a win. LJ then gives a press conference saying how well City played and the future is rosy. Steve Lansdown is fooled, yet again,and decides to stick with LJ. The rest of the season is the rubbish we've had since October and City go down. Then, as you say, we have LJ next season until he'd sacked in the autumn after wasting more of SL's money on payers who can't get into the team. Great excitement on the forum about who the new manager will be, followed by outrage when SL announces we've got a young up and coming manager for the future signed from some non league club.

EnderMB Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Another relegation would be the final nail in the coffin for Lansdown's project, I think. I appreciate all that he has done for us, but in reverting to previous form he's dragged us down to League 1. He's spent a lot of money, but the correct footballing process simply isn't there. The five pillars got us relegated in the first place, and to get back up to the Championship we had to bring in a manager with the strength to tell Lansdown that it didn't work. Cotterill bucked the trend by spending money and buying experience, something the club was largely against at the time, and that gamble paid off. We struggled in the Championship, most likely because Lansdown wouldn't buy who Cotterill wanted, and he was relieved of his duties, but rather than learning from his mistakes Lansdown hires another SOD. He hires an up and coming manager, tells him what type of players to sign, and reduces his role to head coach. It's literally SOD all over again! LJ was out of his depth at Bristol City, but I don't put the blame at his feet. For me, it's solely Lansdown's fault. The main bit of blame LJ can take is believing in a project that has failed repeatedly in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary thing is that would no longer shock me. Whichever division we were in he'd need to have won a fair few games by the end of September or there's simply no way he could stay. We never recover from relegation quickly, so the chances are he'd be gone by Christmas even if he kept his job after relegation. The only way I can see him still being here this time next year is with survival and significantly improved performances next season. Which would be fine.

Bianconeri Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 There are far worse scenarios than what happens to our football team. The most shocking football scenario affecting Bristol City would be - relegation - North Bristol Amateurs fluke promotion via the play offs - LJ stays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you have hit the nail right smack on the head there imo. SC - 'Mr Lansdown, we need to buy 5 real quality players on £20k/week to move the team forward' SL - '£20k/week? WTF. Let's bring in 20 youngsters at £5k/week and we might make a killing on a few to cover the cost'. And so we go on wasting money because SL refuses to listen to anyone who doesn't agree with his vision of how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The five pillars didn't get us relegated,it's just a business plan which only an idiot could say doesn't make sense. There were many factors least of all overpaid journeymen who wouldn't put in a shift and youngsters who weren't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 We dont need any players, the squad is fine, what we need is the right formations, the right tactics and good motivation and there seems only one way to gain these. We are going down, and LJ is going to lead us in D1 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they probably won't come out until after May 8th by which time it will be too late anyway. Beginning to feel like Private Fraser in Dad's Army. "We are all doomed, doomed I tell you!"
