Robbored Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Lose at Elland Rd where Dirty Leeds are flying and with City down to 10 men and this place goes into meltdown.............. The anti LJ brigade are out in force with their negative posts all aimed at LJ.... What is it about ‘LJ is going nowhere’ that they don’t understand? SL has backed him before and will do it again so why not just try to accept that fact? SL wants stability long term and by sacking the Head Coach ( and all his assistants) would completely destabilise the club with an entirely new manager and his backtoom staff coming in. SL has seen that happen many times before and realises that long term it hasn’t worked so he’ll stick by his man just as he has before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I don't think SL is afraid to sack LJ. The interview last season told me he won't accept the same again this season, if we lose our next 2 I think that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your sentiment, but feel you are wrong with this LJ is going nowhere stuff, RR. Of course SL will sack him, the man is not a moron! I believe that if we don't win one of the next 2 games, he will be sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If and it’s a big if SL sees no progress and/or City flirting with the drop zone again then SL might decide that LJ has had enough time and decide to sack him but that won’t happen any time soon regardless of results in the next two games.

Hampshire Red Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Well said RR, you know 80%+ of City fans agree with you, even if it is more evenly split on this particular forum where most people dont attend games and some really dont care about the club anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know Lansdown won't get rid of Little Lee no matter what. That's the problem. We have a manager in charge who is clueless....and when it comes to the football aspect of it, the owner is even worse So yeah...we have accepted he's going no where.

Septic Peg Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Did you even see LJ's post match interview? This was the turning point for me. He was going on about how good we were up until the red card and would give them a pat on the back? I'm sorry but to be a good manager you need to be a manager. Not a friend. Support and train by all means but give the hairdryer treatment when needed. I genuinely don't think Lee has ever blown his lid at the squad and perhaps it's ocassionally warranted.

It’s not the fact we lost to Leeds , albeit a side with 2 keepers missing ,a rookie kid in goal only managing a shot on target. Not for the first time this season. Also Leeds were missing several outfield players too , Leeds were there for the taking ! We were matching a weak leedsbteam for an hour. Wow. Brown hill sending off a smokescreen really most fans realise 9 wins from 42 games is piss poor. So therefore a long enough pattern to judge. We are now on a famous losing streak again. Next up lowly Ipswich. If we lose what will be the excuse for that game ? The sooner Johnson goes the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Yesterday was nowhere near as bad as people are making out and i am not even LJ's biggest fan. Ok we failed to create much but we were comfortable at 11 v 11. A huge improvement on Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure we would know that, if he did. And I'm certain that if he did make it public then the usual suspects would go ballistic about him blaming everyone else..... If there's one thing you can say for him yesterday, it's that he's been successful in deflecting criticism from individual players and taking it himself. Not a single 'xx player was crap' post that I've seen, in contrast to the 11 or so we usually get after a defeat. Perhaps because there weren't too many bad performances yesterday, and LJ is right; until the sending off we were pretty good, we're doing some of the things we try to do better (and yes, I know, we've got very few goals in us).

Are those people happy to watch a game where we never look like scoring? Because I promise you we’ll never win a game if we don’t score. We've been served up so much rubbish recently that some fans have re-evaluated what is considered acceptable. And yesterday is exactly that. Yesterday was shit, just much less shit than the other recent shit games. It was nowhere near acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
