Lord Northski Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 SL has his back against the wall as he's clearly been exposed as totally naive for continuing to back Johnson. GT knows that he could push this point, but also knows that doing so may give the shove SL may now be looking for to throw the towel in and to say balls to the whole idea and walk away and spend the rest of his days in the channel isles without having to deal with this type of cr@p all day. As such, I reckon that GT won't want to be the bloke who finally shoots City's goose with the golden egg, so he'll settle for an empathetic "I know how the fans feel, we had a good March, but lets all stick together for the final run in and leave it all on the field" Trouble is SL knows that everyone in the ground including Johnson and himself that Johnson should've been sacked months ago, and that it's his own pig headedness that has led to the mire we're in right now. Johnson probably wishes he's been sacked months ago, so he could've spent the last few months on a beach, rather than having to turn up every day and watch any credibility he had wash away completely. The only two question that remain are: Will City be even worse than those teams below them, and get relegated? and Will SL swallow his pride and appoint a new manager capable of motivating players to give a damn week in week out? For the record I have renewed my season ticket, I felt like a pratt for doing it (it was mighty close) but I've sat with the same people in the stand for years and I love em to bits, and we've been through a lot together, and we certainly deserve better than Lee Johnson. FFS Steve, admit you were wrong (which you are) and sack him (preferably on the pitch before the game), and put someone in charge for the final few games who can put a rocket up their arse and lets go down fighting please.

downendcity Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 GT: How do you see the future for City Steve? SL: Well, as fans are clearly unhappy with my stewardship of the club, I've realised that I can do no more so am selling Bristol City to the Venkys.

Shit, shit and more shit, BatFastard is full of shit! On a serious note, assume GT has to submit questions he wants to ask today, so that SL's senior management can approve of the questions he will answer before the interview? Politicians question time again! Will listen in though as I can't be bothered to go tomoz after the shit served up at Brentford. Gonna be nasty tomoz if we lose again.

No. Just like his father who I saw playing for Liverpool in the 1950's, he was a good honest pro who gave as much as he could and left everything on the pitch. Just because he played for the Gas doesn't mean he, now as a journalist, will do anything other than ask the right questions. They may not seem forceful enough for some on here but at least he will do it with a respect for SL. If he blundered in with all guns blazing, he'd probably see only the back of SL as he walks away from the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I like Geoff Twentyman as he's got to do a difficult job on a limited budget. He's got to remain neutral but, at the same time, reflect the views of the supporters. If he fired into the various officials of City and Rovers, in the way certain people on the forum would, he would never get another interview. That said, on Saturday he's got to ask the difficult (for SL) questions. If he doesn't he won't have any credibility. It will be of little use trying to fill the phone in after the match with a cosy chat with Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 1 hour ago, Bat Fastard said: We are trying to support our club but in different ways - I wish to encourage and save my criticism for a time when our backs are not against the wall - wheras you and your friends just want to cause a huge bust up at a critical moment in the season. The silly sexual references refer to things that are not familiar to me - clealy they are huge elements of your life's experience - but I suggest that you keep them where they belong, in your bedroom. I hope that Geoff asks the questions that need to be asked but avoide the rudeness and hysteria that seems to infest the attitudes of many on this forum at the moment. Hopefully, once the game gets started we can all give the team fantastic support - especially if we go behind (please don't take that as an invitation for your sexual humour) - because that is when they will need us the most. COYR! I won't and haven't made any personal attack on SL, LJ or anyone else associated with BCFC. I am bloody furious at current events though (or lack of one in particular) and am wondering when the nightmare will end. If part of my questioning involves the owner and his belief that LJ is a great manager, I say show me the evidence. If SL is interfering with matters on the pitch....I want to know. I want to know why we can only achieve a yo yo existence between Tier 2 and Tier 3. What's wrong with that? Does he have any ambition to sell up?

I lose track of the individuals on this forum and what they have posted - but I get the impression that there are two or three dozen who are hurling hysterical and frankly quite ridiculous accusations at SL and LJ. There are a number of calmer and more reflective types, who are also concerned about our league position, but are willing to consider the fact that they don't actually know what happens behind the scenes and that the intelligent people who own and run the club may well have reasons for decisions made. Every decision maker in business or anywhere else knows that you cannot always control the outcomes and remedial action sometimes needs to be applied. I have more faith than some on here that SL and staff may have more of an inside track than the peddlars of vitriol on this forum. By all means question - but in a civilised matter.
