mozo Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 If City win 6 of the 7 remaining games, we could make the play offs. I don't think you can sack Johnson when he still has a slim chance of achieving his objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not quite right is is? If we win both our games this week (including Cardiff), and Cardiff say draw v Charlton, we would be level with them with 5 to play.

I don't think you can sack Johnson when he still has a slim chance of achieving his objective. I think you’re right, and suspect that this would be SL’s view. But by this time next week even that possibility could be gone, so I would hope that work is being done behind the scenes now to allow us to bring in a new manager ASAP once the decision is made. In normal circumstances it might make sense to have a caretaker manager for the rest of the season to see who becomes available from other clubs. But with a potentially very short close season I’d favour giving the new man more time to get to know the players - as long as we can secure a good enough candidate, of course.

Squire Dastardly Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 LJ should walk if he is an honourable man. Caretaker can be put in charge and Ashton should get on with finding a new & competent manager capable of doing well in the Championship. It' that clear & the sooner it happens the better.

Will not win any of the next two, if we continue to play as we have, I like so many was looking forward to return of football, but that’s been wiped out by two poor performances, it’s not just that we are losing, it’s the way we are losing and playing. Johnsons management style = Johnson’s playing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may well be a clause in his contract that allows him to be sacked at a reduced compensation level for failure to reach the play-offs or if we finish below a certain position? SL may be playing the waiting game on this basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly it is possible and those who know anything about LJ know he is as streaky as they come. Do I think it will happen - no. Do I feel it times to change - yes. But we’ve seen so many times before that we’ve been shockingly bad and then win 4 on the bounce and suddenly we look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with our bad runs of form is that Lee and the coaching team don't seem to understand how and why they happen in order to know how to stop the bad runs. It just feels like they keep making tactical mistakes until luck shines on is and we seem to fluke a win which then starts a good run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In work if we have a major project we get the best people to work on it. LJ isn't the best person to work on this so shouldn't get the chance just because it's possible. We should get the right person in and give them the slim chance of making the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 LJ will be here until the end of this weird mini season come what may. Am not saying this is ideal, but the break will have given him time, and while he can point to the proximity to the play offs, he’ll not be hooked. Either we give it a real go and he’s likely here when next season, or we fall away badly and he maybe is at risk. But I’d buckle up for it being LJ the next seven games at least.
