Guest Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Please wake the hell up Steve, you must soon see what I and many others saw 3 months ago; Your man is hopeless please give us hope and drop the fool now This was said in hope alas, knowing that you and him will never admit they were wrong but seem quite happy to see thousands walking away in absolute disgust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontariored Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I dont have to make a comment, just laugh at the ignorance of the board to the fans comments. You lot, board and ownership, are not worthy of our club.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WessexPest Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 If you'd've started a thread with this title a couple of months ago you would have got dozens of posters jumping down your throat and defending SL (I should know, that's what happened to me when I voiced my displeasure at him). But they're getting fewer and fewer in numbers now. Speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd of been one of them, and up until this debacle I think the balance was favourable, however the handling of this crisis has been disastrous.

One Team Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Do you think for one second he became so successful in business by making such poor decisions? If SL applied his business brain to this LJ would be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find he was and still is, an accountant. People have often stated that he was/is an astute businessman, personally I think it was Hargreaves that was the driving force of that partnership. Mr Lansdown made sure the figures stacked up and the relevant HMRC forms were filed correctly and on time. It would appear to me that, the staff appointments over the period of his tenure at AG, have been inexperienced and generally weak characters that agreed with him and kept their jobs. Those with a little more balls and experience, Sextone, Cotterill, Pembo, were replaced by younger less experienced, (cheaper) employees after standing up and stating what was actually needed.

Dan Robin Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I believe that only a common protest (a great amount of supporters not going to the next match) could open his eyes. However, this won't happen, probably because of the conflictual feelings of many supporters (duty to support the team, no matter how worrying the situation is). That being said, at this point of the season, even a protest could turn out to be useless, in terms of survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By his own standards, winning promotion again (!) from division 3 is not success. It's been bullshit for almost 10 years. Hes a billionaire who talks about his premier league dream but u have seen absolutely nothing to demonstrate that. Who cares about a ******* stand?

Often wondered why he's so successful. He doesn't come across as the businessman type I'm familiar with. Quite shy in fact. Maybe Hargreaves explains this away.

Tis, and I have my own. I would disagree with you on that one. I can fully understand his gripes, as to me it was obvious his hands were tied when it came to transfers. What has happened since has shown that the board have their own ideas on who we should be buying. Not showing to be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real bull and straight talking with it. That's not to say that Mr Lansdown didn't contribute, he obviously has certain attributes which made that concern successful.

Someone has to make the tea and walk to the postbox in any new business. SL comes across as a nice bloke, he just mumbles like a shrinking violet as public persona for me. Unusual for a driven businessman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
