mozo Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 When managers get offered long contracts is it possible that certain "failure" clauses could be agreed. For example, if in the bottom 3, pay off is reduced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the football served up by his old man was as bad, if not worse than what LJ is serving up. Plus GJ was full of bluff and hot air in interviews. He never said anything of substance unlike his son who is far more open and honest than his old man ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely. Or am I just clutching at straws? Yes but they also have to factor in the number of current season ticket holders not renewing if they take advice from here and appoint an "experienced" manager like McCarthy or even worse Neil bloody Warnock!

Going to games in the last two years has been an absolute chore. The football is the worst thing about going to football. Who? Despite the results I never once left AG with that ‘buzz’ after witnessing an impressive City display. I’d leave thinking ‘how the hell did we win that?’........ The only game that I remember fondly from that era was the pray off semi against Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else said the same thing to me recently, whilst I agree I would argue that every year we seem to have a load saying they won’t renew but somehow we end up with the same amount of ST holders, if not more. I havent heard great rejoicing about the numbers of half ST this season yet, so I guess there wasn’t much uptake which could make SL think, but I reckon he will just put that down to no Carabao Cup run.

Or achieve premier league football . he’s signed 60 odd players , chops and changes formation from week to week , no wonder the players are confused ! they’re the lucky ones , some others get frozen out ,or sent on loan . hes been here 4 years and playing wise we’ve regressed , no identity unlike Brentford for example. I’m all for stability, this has gone stale Steve should be showing leadership , not allowing lee to drift along from year to time year ending up In roughly the same league position each year , although one place higher or one goal more is wildly celebrated by some. Not saying you are incorrect for a minute, but I’ve seen LJ referred to as ‘Lansdown’s family friend’ on here a zillion times - I may have been on Mars , but has there actually been any proof of a close relationship with the Lansdowns away from football? Apologies if I’ve missed anything, Merlot and Malbec can do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Med/MadHatter Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 That season was the first one after i emigrated to Canada, i was working in northern Alberta and used to have to call the wife to find out the football results, and was always stunned when the results fell for us when we were top of the league with an around 0 goal difference, sadly it all fell away, although the play offs were unbelievable!

I enjoyed watching those game at the time. They’ve won games in the last eighteen months that I haven’t enjoyed watching. I looked forward to games that season, I’ve barely looked forward to games in the last eighteen months even when the form table has been positive.
