@TomF @Dollymarie @elhombrecito @RedM Can you enforce the forum rules please

They won’t though. I’ve asked the question and my post got deleted. Very disappointing

A four year contract means that LJ will remain as Head Coach throughout that period and that equals stability. 

City do not yet have a policy of promotion from within because the situation has not arisen but should LJ get poached then the vacancy could well be filled by one of the assistants thereby creating a policy of internal appointment.

Thats exactly what Liverpool did during their glory days.

No it doesn’t. The dismissal or dismissals you were involved in. I bet those employees thought they had a job for life - being NHS ? - or the duration of their contracts.

Until Matron Robbo came along with his hatchet in his hand.....

And anyway If Little Lee and the Messiah fall out or if results dip I can’t see LJ staying the distance.

And as for that stability bollocks and back room staff stepping up. One word. Tinnion.

Modern day life is no longer like it was in the past or in the NHS. Jobs for the boys or dead man’s shoes no longer exist.

Do they? ?

What skills do you think LJ doesn’t have?

It's not a problem of ''not having'', but ''things he can ameliorate'':  for exemple, the tactical difficulties against physical/defensive teams, or how he manage the players sometimes (regular starters picked even when they're clearly out of form, some players who arrive at AG and then disappear, etc.).

Obviously I'm talking about impressions/doubts from the perspetive of supporters, that can be right or wrong.

Ok.......so you just don’t get what SL is trying to do..............:dunno:

Ive been retired over 9 years but I’m sure the NHS  disciplinary procedure is the same now as it was when I was involved. The same employment laws still apply. 

From memory - verbal warning, written warning, dismissal.

I worked with one particular guy who had received a verbal warning for a mistake that was made when dispensing tablets. He felt so resentful about it that he refused to take part in the drug round and kept a letter of resignation stored in his locker............:laugh:

I think you are being a bit harsh on Lam.

Yes, the rugger boys were in a relegation battle all season whereas City did really well but he is a recognised top manager.

 

You are not reading between the lines!

Pat Lam achieved what he set out to do at the beginnings of the season; to keep Bristol out of the relegation spot. In fact he did much better as Bristol's point total was the highest for any newly promoted team in eleven years.

City had a terrible home record especially after the turn of the year and once again, missed out on playoffs. Do you understand why I'm not his biggest fan? I want him to do well because City are my club, but he has yet to convince me and many others.

I earn more than my manager at work.

Let’s not feed him anymore. 

Sad that a thread which should be congratulatory on LJ getting a well deserved reward for consistently improving us year on year is derailed by a manual manipulator trying to get his kicks from a windup even though he clearly doesn’t believe his own bullshit; or discussions on Pat Lam.

There is no boot room concept at City. You're talking nonsense.

Loads of managers bring in their own coaches and assistants...  

And analysts, they're becoming a big one for managers to take club to club now.

No it doesn’t mean LJ will stay for 4 years but he refers to Bristol City as ‘my club ‘ and that he ‘loves the club’ . He probably thinks he has his  dream job and I can’t see him going anywhere unless a big PL club come knocking and makes an offer he can’t refuse.

The concept of the ‘boot room’ is new at City but then it was new at Anfield when Shankley was there......why do you suppose that LJ was told to bring in his on assistants? It was so a team of backroom staff could start to develop with the idea of being able to promote from within should the need arise.

It’s ‘Shankly’ ....

Does your manager at work, work under your level at work or do you just earn more than your Wife (she probably works harder) ? 

It’s not uncommon for a subservient to earn more than their superior. Management is quite different to a specialist skill set; such as being a playing professional following a set eating, training, sleeping, etc regime v setting that regime. Would YOU pay Steve Bruce more than Tammy? It’s like saying I’m not getting a tummy tuck from the worlds best surgeon because he’s fat. 

If I was running a 2 man business where I had the idea... would I want to get a substandard salesman who would earn less than I so they knew I was more important, or would I want the best who would earn more than I but together collectively we each earn better. Or to put it another way, would I want a head coach earning more and working with crap? If I was a head coach, would I say don’t pay me £Xk pw more, give it to, say Webster? Damn right I would.   

Only the very BIGGEST bellend measures their worth on their salary. That’s when you know someone has an inferiority complex, when their benchmark is earnings per week. That’s the kind of person who doesn’t treat people equally and with full respect. And I hope that person fails our DNA test; which RR would. Clearly.

Haha. When your other half works in mental health, you work in the corporate world, it does shake you up a bit and bring you slap bang down to earth when discussing the day over the pot noodles.

I’ve earned far more than my managers in the past.  I could sell, they could deal with HR and interminable meetings.  Different skillset, didn’t mean I respected them any less.

RR just has the mentality of someone that’s worked for the public sector where it’s all set pay grades etc.   He probably thinks everyone has a final salary pension, sick pay etc.

If you’ve lived your life in the public sector bubble then you have no comprehension of the private.

Im on the fence with this one, I mean it's fine but what benefit does it really bring the club?

If he is poached by a bigger club city will get a few mill sure

But if ever the time comes to sack him it will cost more

Manager compensation is seldom a factor with clubs approach another clubs manager under contract.

 

I'm certain there will be an agreed compensation figure if we were to dismiss him and it certainly wouldn't be for the full 4 years of the contact. 

There will also be clauses where LJ may well receive bonuses depending on meeting certain targets.

No it doesn't, rarely in football do managers last the length of their contracts. Agree it promotes stability, but if we were to struggle next season and finish in the bottom 6, LJ will be got rid off. Similarly, if we were to do really well and make the play-offs but not go up and a PL club were to make LJ an offer he would be off.

My God, this thread has been strange in places. 

Very pleased that LJ has signed for another 4 years, excellent news for City.  Lee is a fantastic head coach, long may he help us develop and push forwards.

On another note, if we were serious about promotion, I'd still appoint another manager / DOF to work with him (purely for additional support with the volume of tasks), but hey, that's just me!

Had read thru this thread you’ll have seen other replies saying pretty much the same thing...........:cool2:

Bloody too right. @Robbored does indeed have the mentality of a public sector bubble inhabitant. But not just that. The mentality of someone who by his own admission worked in the mental health sector too.

Far too many mentals there for me to get my own mentally disturbed mind round ?

Anyway it’s Friday. The sun is shining. I’m off next week. And I’m delighted Little Lee is here for 4 more years ?

Totally agree RumRed I was in sales for many years and always earned more than my managers, eventually going into my own business, sponsoring the City and eventually going bankrupt, no gravy train for me.

That's a fair point, and I'd say that my suggestion is based around the lack of high level experience of the people helping LJ, namely Macca, Holden, and probably to a degree Brian Tinnion.  I would certainly keep all the current coaches / staff at City, but I would like someone else with a bit of promotion savvy / experience within the management mix.  I know experience isn't everything in life, but it certainly helps - provided the person has the right personality to work with and compliment those here already doing a top job.
