Nuno Gomes Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 4 minutes ago, tomo said: The Sacking of just an assistant just sums up how bad Mr Lansdowns decision making has become. The responsibility is always that of the head coach. Truly embarrasing at the moment. One of so many authoritative statements made on here without knowing the full facts. Sadly we will never know what goes on behind the scenes and unless we do everything is speculative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only come on here to congratulate Pembo's work at the club, you can't take that away from him. I just didn't agree with you, no need for the insults. Apologies it was unnecessary, I've edited it out, fair enough. I like Pembo, he's a very nice bloke, but in reality, there's nothing to suggest he's particularly good or particularly bad, people need to calm down and I don't get the love in. If we're going to praise him for the double season, then we need to criticise him for this season too. And based on that, he can have no arguments about what's happened. Only thing is others should have gone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 1 hour ago, nebristolred said: This reaction is insane. We are crap at the moment. The two with the most influence, are the manager, and the assistant manager. Why the **** is Pembo getting such a love-in and LJ hated? Bearing in mind that not one of us have the slightest clue what it's like behind closed doors, and none of us have any idea as to his competency as a coach. Thoroughly nice bloke mind, just making a point. It seems dance and look passionate on the sidelines and that's enough for City fans to make an accurate judgment as to your coaching abilities. Absolute nonsense. We're crap, and he has to face the criticism just like LJ does. Football fans are simple at times... OK! But you must admit, it seems strange to part with the monkey, when the organ grinder is still turning the handle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 It's not exactly relevant, but Pemberton got as many points in his four games as caretaker last season as Football Genius Lee Johnson has managed in his last seventeen games.

HIGHRIDGE BCFC Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 If Steve Lansdown does bring in Millen to work with LJ then that's us stuck with him for the foreseeable future. He's not going to bring in a new assistant to help the head coach then sack said head coach after a game or two. Looks like we're heading into League One with the vertically challenged one then!

It wouldn't take much to realise it would be a PR disaster if it was an attempt at appeasing supporters. In my view, all three should go as we need a fresh set of eyes and new ideas. To get rid of one is plain strange - unless there's a reason we don't know about (Tomlin rumour) that's forced the sacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Don't suppose this could be quietly 'clearing the decks' before a 'big announcement' of a new top man coming in complete with all the back room staff of his choosing... ? Anyone coming in now would need to hit the ground running - if he's gonna save this season... wouldn't have much time to sort out 'sitting tenants' good or bad ... so better to be moving into an empty house with all his 'own furnishings' lock stock and barrel would be a good starting point ... a manager with his own left and right hand men ready to concentrate on sorting out the stock and stock room (squad and dressing room) quickly re merchandising everything and get the key things in order... and ready to go.. Maybe a 'complete' management team' are already in the wings ready to be announced and moved in? There would only be one 'club announcement' then along the lines of .. "Head coach leaving with immediate effect, joining assistant coaches and backroom staff who have already left club in recent days...we welcome new manager (insert name) and Co .. who we're delighted to announce have joined us, and are in place and raring to get started as of now!'' (followed by the usual 'thanks for everything, we wish them all the best for futures etc ' for the outgoing regime) Are we quietly 'clearing the decks' perhaps? ... ahead of a 'biggie' ?
