bs3 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Thanks for clearing that up. However my general point remains the same. Not happy with the way things have been done over the last few months, not happy with the appointment of LJ , but we will see where we go from here. LJ has been given a good start from Pembo and Elliot , the players have never stop trying this season and they do seem to be a togetherness within the team, so we do have something to build on. Looking forward to Saturday very interested to see the team , formation and tatics he uses, my advice would be not to change it to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 SL is not treating BCFC as a business (he is Bristol sport I guess and we're a part of that) but football nowadays means we're rich mans playthings whilst we decide if we can afford a pie at half time. madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is how the fans might react to a couple of defeats, especially after the way results have gone recently with Pembo and Elliot in charge.

Tomo Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Some good views on this one. I am just surprised that we have appointed another head coach with little experience at this level, following history (Tins, Millen, Mciness) which has not worked. Now he is here, we simply have to support him and give him 100% backing, albeit I do not agree with the appointment and would have gone for a man with Championship experience, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple answer is NO! So why would he consider a relatively un-experienced candidate in Lee Johnson for Bristol City? The world has gone mad! He might if he saw potential in an inexperienced person - who would be surrounded by wise heads (which LJ is). Personally, I don't feel in a position to offer advice to SL, not being a self-made millionaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point - difference being now that LJ has the benefit of having a much better support structure in place at the club. Primarily a head scout (KB) and head of football operations (MA). That gives him a much better chance of success than say DMc who was floundering in the job as he had no-one to help him out with scouting etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderMB Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 In terms of day-to-day management, Hargreaves Lansdown is far too large for either partner to have a huge day in what's going on. They've clearly done quite well in recruiting people that run the company in an optimal way. I think both would probably agree that they wouldn't hire an inexperienced fund manager simply because they probably haven't been directly involved in hiring for many years. As has already been said, football is an entirely different model to any other type of business. There are some parallels, but they will ultimately be the exception that proves the rule. The rule tends to be that the club with the biggest pockets will (eventually) win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
