MelksRed Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'm glad that he has given something.....i think that, despite it being a small gesture, he has given something back to the fans that had the good grace to remain positive as we gracefully moved down the table over the last 5 games of last season. He may earn a lot more than most of us ....he could have given nothing.....but chose to try and engage.....why criticise the man? Seemingly he can't do right for doing wrong.....I hope these flags help us stuff LUFC on day one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemingly he can't do right for doing wrong.....I hope these flags help us stuff LUFC on day one! Agree with you, and I'd just add that I don't think he can give much more really, no matter how much cash he has in the bank. 150 quid is already 7.5% of the stated target of 2,000. Contributing much more than that begins to move LJ to almost having something of a controlling stake in the coffers of S82. Say he did, as one of our favourite posters suggests, contribute 1,500. That would mean he had paid for 75% of the total. At that point, no matter the intention, it begins to look as though any flags or posters or tifos or whatever S82 buy are not S82's displays but LJ's displays. If those displays are then found to be offensive, illegal, a fire hazard etc then LJ is going to be caught square in the crosshairs of responsibility. This is before you begin to consider that S82 are (I believe) fiercely independent of the club. Of course by the nature and location of their work they have to co-operate with the club but so far as I am aware there is no direct club control over S82's actions. Now, consider a situation where the head coach has directly funded 75% of the flags on display - does that look independent to anyone? In my opinion it does not. So, LJ has made a good choice. He has donated a very healthy sum that is well beyond the capability of most of us. He has also inadvertently raised the profile of the campaign and leant it some additional credibility. At the same time he has kept his donation modest enough that he can avoid allegations of control or meddling in S82's affairs. In all it's a great gesture and a well measured one.

bristolcitysweden Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Tomorrow it is midsummer day and a lot of people are doing very strange things risking their future. Not me. My mother in law will for eight hours come home to here home and I will do the food. She has got Parkinsonism and can only move here right arm slightly. She tells us important things like the home care owe here £4 taking hours. All very sad. After eight hours we are exhausted. All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he should'nt knock other people who donate. How many other managers would even be aware of such a thing, let alone put their own money to it.
