Numero Uno Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 5 minutes ago, One Team said: LJ seemed quite relaxed in his post match interview to me and not a man under pressure or his position being at risk. Agreed. End of the season EARLIEST before it even becomes an issue imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in the club must be looking at the poor quality football on offer and be thinking about how that might affect attendances, if attendances and subsequently season ticket sales falter, it is an issue.

Fordy62 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 If SL wants any chance of promotion this season then he needs to act now. If he’s happy with it fizzling out then he need do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 It would have to go pretty disastrously between now and the end of the season to get rid personally.

Harry Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 51 minutes ago, BCFC_95 said: Problem is, now is a crap time to be looking at ditching your manager. Transfer window is open, LJ and the board have probably already outlined a few players who they may even have enquired about or have deals sorted. Say we get rid of him, is there anyone immediately ready to join and make signings? If not, how long will it take to get someone, will any of the window be left? It’s a bad time to sack someone IMO. Transfer window makes no difference. Mark Ashton signs the players, whoever the manager is. If LJ leaves tomorrow and a new manager arrives next day, we’ll be targeting the exact same players this January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superjack Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 18 minutes ago, BS3City said: I'm not really in the LJ "in" or "out" camp, I just want to see a successful team and club. However the Shrewsbury game now becomes massively important. Surely the guaranteed fan backlash (should we lose) would leave the owners with little choice...? The Shrewsbury game could be important because it isn't a league game. Perfect game to entrust to caretaker managers while you have eleven days to put a coach in place. Not gonna happen though ...

Poor season ticket sales would possibly move the situation forward BUT I think most people will renew regardless and moan from there!! Brentford showed us, the fans, what can be done in this league on a budget. The comparison between them and us was very sobering. We can all see it despite football employees like LJ thinking we know nothing. But will that bother SL? Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else as seen by floating in 11th is unacceptable. If he was to turn it around and make the play offs I dont think he'd be under massive pressure from game 1.

If he’s happy with it fizzling out then he need do nothing. I fear we know what he'll do. 10 years ago he sacked GJ and hired Coppell, a manager with the sort of experience of success we need now. For whatever reason it was a fiasco which left egg on face... ...the reaction was a succession of disappointing appointments...until Cotts, ever his own man and opinionated, built a side fit for purpose, one of the finest team units of my City lifetime, and took us back up. Until it all went wrong. And here we are, almost exactly where we were 10 years ago. No nearer the Prem and another awkward decision to be made, or not made.

Natchfever Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 25 minutes ago, mozo said: No but as we slip further and further down the table even Lansdown will become increasingly impatient. Johnson needs an upturn in form very soon. If matchday revenue plummeted he has a decision to make. I think he will back his man because it would be an admission of failure to do otherwise. Hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money and sustainability bothers him so a season ticket sales drop will hardly be noticed with his multi use ground in all. A brush with the relegation zone may ruffle, but thats unlikely even for Lee....but then again stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
