I've heard it all now. He's a football manager FFS not a personal trainer I'm sure Benitez, Ancelotti and Del Bosque all set terrible examples for their staff too?

Apparently we made some of the signings for the third window in January, 'cause LJ said about having to bring things forward as we were struggling. Ironically the same posters that have held LJ to that claim have also been the most distrustful of hos interviews (since he joined) and have said to others not to take much weight from what LJ says. I presume that advice is only given when what is said doesnt fit with their thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Dolman B block it wasn't especially during the pathetic performance against Fulham. I know we're stuck with him so I have to back him but I still think he's extremely lucky to still be in a job with us. No personal stuff, I just didn't think he was up to the job then and still don't. I hope he proves me wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you take exception to 'Big John' Atyeo and 'Big Paul' Cheesley as well? The 2 you refer to were affectionate names. Looking at the context of posts using 'Little Lee' it isn't used affectionately as far as I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 3 hours ago, Oops said: ...luckily most of the belters on here don't even attend the games, because the general atmosphere down at the Gate last year seemed to be of expectation and optimism for the future rather than the hysterical whining of the not too distant past (even during the October-February struggle)... You obviously don't sit anywhere near me in the stadium then. 3 wins in 25 league games in the middle of the season meant loads of dissent and discontent aimed at LJ from the area of the ground in which I sit. And our professional manager /head coach turned to childishly goad some dissenters when we notched a late winner against the mighty Rotherham at home... 'Expectation and optimism' - I witnessed nothing of the sort....we stayed up by three points. Voicing discontent is not 'hysterical whining' - it's wanting our team to do better than they are given the massive outlay and investment...

Personally I do not detect any hint of affection. Rather the opposite. I am the original poster and you are right China.....I don't think that Lee has earned the right to be treated with affection yet. His managerial career to date has been dodgy to say the least with some irrational team selections, bad decisions and annoying stubbornness. Having said that there are signs that things may be turning around but it will take a full completed season with a degree of success before he gets my vote of confidence.

ChippenhamRed Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 11 minutes ago, Thatch35 said: Quality signings? Championship proven? So...no quality as of yet. Gambles which hopefully for LJ work out. LJ out. All signings are a gamble. A player who has done well in the Championship previously is not guaranteed to do well again. Was Kodjia "Championship proven" when he arrived here? Was he not "quality"? Was Tammy "Championship proven" when he arrived here? Was he not "quality"? A good footballer is a good footballer regardless of what league he has played in previously. The club's recent track record of signing strikers is excellent; a virtually unknown player from France who scored plenty and was sold on at huge profit, and an England U21 who banged them in all year and didn't cost us a penny in transfer fees. Before dismissing the new arrivals as "no quality", perhaps give them a chance. Although of course I do realise that you an infamous on here for not giving anyone a chance, so maybe I'm asking too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
