Weak backbone is just insulting. Won’t kick up a fuss when told no. What are they being told no to? You can’t sign a better defender than Alfie Masson? You can’t sign a better midfielder than Joe Williams? You can’t have a better striker than the championships current leading scorer? You can only have a wage Bill that puts us 10m in red, not 11? SL doesn’t get along with big personalities That’s very speculative and almost certainly wrong Look at the most significant business relationship in SLs life. The man he built a multi billion pound business with. Hardly a happy go lucky wallflower is he? if your argument is about managerial selection missteps or a lack of clear philosophy when picking a manager, I can see that. But this ‘yes man’ thing is, I think, nonsense SL apparently gets on well with Pat Lam who is a giant personality and top quality Coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cidre Monita Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Dean H is not the real problem. Should never be in the job, but pointless changing him. The issue is Ashton and the owner.

Swede Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Deja Vu If Lee Johnson lost his job because we were falling short of the play offs last season and ending up mid table, take a look at the current win draw loss stats. They don't lie. Mid table average at best but look more closely we are in trouble. All that's missing is the winless run to take us further down the league. The tactics are shocking, the football's dire. It is a distinct possibility. Already the top five clubs are moving away and it would take big swing of results to go our way to get up to the play offs or is it merely the aim to scuff 6th place on the last day of the season. So here we are again falling away, indifferent rudderless football and heading for mid table obscurity. Surely he has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCulturalBomb Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Suprised how for once everyone is leaning towards him getting the sack, I can't disagree. We have a top 6 squad minimum and should be there.. and then theres the actual football we're playing. Attacking and exciting it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That screams to me that all the qualified people wouldn’t work under Ashtons regime. take the signing of Kasey Palmer as a classic example. No way did Johnson want to sign him. That was an Ashton signing all day long as he thought he could sell him on at a profit , problem was Johnson didn’t want / and or know how to use him bar a month when he shone with afobe.

It was not the fans asking for it, it was the owner. He sacked LJ because he wanted fresh ideas and a boost to take us higher. That is what he said.

The expectations were clearly set out by tweedle dee and tweedle dum at the time when Holden was appointed, at no point did either of them say a mid table finish was the aim - they were clear they wanted progress and to challenge for the top 6. Obviously in retrospect they were completely bullshitting the fanbase and their aim wasn’t that at all (as many of us at the time were saying) but at least now for all the happy clappers and Lansdown family fanboys the result and performances should speak for themselves, once again as a fanbase we have been led up the garden path.

I genuinely believe Johnson wanted Palmer....”give me a pre-season with Kasey” was his words. Palmer was Johnson’s magpie’s shiny tin foil bottle top. A chance to prove he could tame a maverick....Tomlin mk2. The strategy around his signing was all wrong. Szmodics, Pato, what was the plan? I think the combo of Ashton and LJ was a bad one. Ashton gets his ego massaged by “look at how I can deal with Chelsea”, LJ gets another player without a true plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like fair enough if the performances were half about and it was a case of losing because of fine margins in games you could understand it but we are playing so so badly and it has been going on for a sustained period now- the football is genuinely the worst i have ever seen in the last 25 years supporting the club.
