At least give us some kind of explanation. Cretins everywhere today... Pleased that you are leaving. You are clearly far too melodramatic. I don't need to explain. The fact that LJ split opinion amongst fans so dramatically just as a player, you think that will change because he's now the manager? he's already failed before he has even started. Deal with it.

The impact to our momentum this season is well known. Its gone spectacularly wrong on a number of fronts, all of which has stemmed from the board/SC's inability to recruit properly. A truly monumental cock up. The club has since had the time to make timely, informed and strategic decisions with regards player recruitment, day to day running of the club and outward communication. Despite this, they're still failing. And still failing fairly spectacularly. We've had public humiliation after misfiring £9m bids. We've had a manager sacked at the worst possible time. We've had "you wouldn't believe the names of the managers applicants". We've now had 3 weeks of silence. That's reasonably terrible PR by any standard. If Lee Johnson becomes the manager then good on him. He'll need the support with the state we are in. My problem with everything stems from the apparent incompetence of the club. They have all the power they need to accurately communicate the direction, aspiration and running of the club but they do it so poorly. The raised hopes and expectations and the dreams of Moyes, Pearson, Andre Grey and the premiership has all come entirely from the clubs rediculous media statements or sheer inability to conduct their business with any level of professionalism. Its the club that creates this expectation and it's the club that then ruins it. They need to learn. It's turned into a rant, but it's pure frustration. This club has so much potential. I cannot fathom how we manage to mess it all up so often. Good post mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't for certain say he was the guy I dreamed would turn our fortunes around, he's always been one for the future for me and think this has likely come too soon in his career. for all we know Lee being an intelligent guy may also feel the same? If I were to give LJ any advice it would be "run my son, run to the ******* hills' he must be bloody crazy to want to come here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so confident. The problem is that most new managers will have a period of grace before the fans turn. Unfortunately, in LJ's case, fans opinion of him has already been set in stone. He doesn't stand a chance. Thus the reason he will be a disastrous appointment. Why even go down that road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
