Street red Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 3 minutes ago, Mr Hankey said: This, 100000000%. If LJ gets sacked Jamie MaCallister and Dean Holden better get the bloody bullet as well, all 3 are equal in this, which is why they share the media duties, not a chance should either be given a chance to step in. They come as a team so all three must take the hit, All us city fans now need to make it clear enough is enough,The club needs to be far more professional in what it does if we all want the big time.. This family affair and job for the boys needs to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he happens to believe that Burnley are looking at him (which I can't if they have taken the trouble to watch us play) then he's going to sit tight and see if he can swing some compensation. It IS all hypothetical though because he's not going to sack him as long as he's got a hole in his ar**. If he thinks Burnley are interested then his wealth really is down to bumping into Peter Hargreaves and having a spare room available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're clearly not making the play offs so why wait when a new boss could have 7 games to assess what we already have? I might be missing something but cannot see the point in waiting. I wonder if Villa might fancy a change if they drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy27 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Those saying at the end of the season, why? Why go through the abject disappointment of these performances until the end of the season. Get someone in and give them time to work with the players before next season and a clean slate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol is red Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Needs to go now, had so much time and money. He seems to have amassed a collection of players with little to no idea how to turn them into a 'team'. He's taken us as far as he can, not because we have reached our ceiling as a club but rather we have progressed to a point where we've out grown his ability as a manager and he's holding us back. LJ simply isn't good enough (and still a few years away atleast imo) yet to be managing a team trying to challenge for promotion. We need 15 points to match last years 70 point/8th place finish, so need to average 2.14 points per game. Worse still we need 12 points to match the year before that's total of 67 point/11th place finish. Which we look like missing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going through this logically, if we were to sack LJ today and don't have someone lined up already we'd be unlikely to have them in place before Forest on Wednesday, if they were announced Thursday they'd probably need to go through the testing protocol which means not being able to be around for 10 days waiting on results, by which time 3 more games pass and we're down to 3 games left and a max of 2 weeks of the season left. Covid makes this a very difficult situation with regards to anyone new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosey Boy Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 LJ is lucky that there weren’t 20,000 in the ground today as the reaction at the end of todays games would have told SL and JL all they needed to know; playing behind closed doors will save LJ for another season me thinks!

Guest Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 should have gone many times but is still here and will be this time next year........round and round we go.........wont be watching this jokers teams anymore.

t_b Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I’ve not really lost it with him before but we are just completely lost and directionless now. How many changes for Wednesday night? Yet again we will go away and pretend home advantage still exists with a large home crowd. We will set up negatively and be shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberRed Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 He should have 2 years ago after the 2017-18 season. That was a great team that had some excellent results and got us into a great position at Christmas that year, but then it all fell apart. I felt it was clear then that he wasn't the man to take us to the next level. The last 2 years have done nothing to suggest otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also had a clear idea of who they needed for the fight they're in, its not such a straight forward idea as to who would be best for us next if LJ was gone, probably a bit of searching, interviews with a few managers/head coaches to find the right fit etc all taking up more time.

Whose to say those behind the scenes aren't looking? Just not sacking LJ in the mean time should we somehow hit a hot streak and the teams around us mess up, impossible to know whats going on unless you're ITK really.
