Nibor Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Not happy in the least myself. He seems to have only two qualifications: - junior enough to kowtow to Mark Ashton - already comfortable with how abysmally run the club is He'll get absolutely no honeymoon or tolerance from half the fans either. I'll support the team as ever but can't pretend to be anything other than very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Necromancer Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Don't quite understand the appointment after all the spiel from MA but will be behind him 100%, everyone needs to get behind the team and manager now and make sure we're still a championship side next season.

Robin101 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Fans are pathetic if they carry 'stuff' as one poster puts it over from his playing days. What even is this 'stuff' anyway? I remember him as a key player in one of city's most successful times of the modern era. I wish him well. I think he'll do well. I suspect there will be a tiny majority who hate him from the start for no apparent reason, but will quickly shut up when they realise they'll gain little support from the majority.

Probably because if the fanbase made decisions we would be in a worse league position and broke! Ummmmmm I hate to break this to you but we are broke.

He will be on a hiding to nothing. Of course the fanbase shouldn't make the decisions, but their attitudes should be taken into account. But why do they have an issue with him other than the reason he was the bosses son? Was he the best player we ever had, nope be he certainly wasn't the worst and actually more than anything else in my view he actually gives a toss about our club. Makes me laugh how our fans have an 'issue' with the most successful manager this club has had in the last 20 years! The day the board listen to the fans when appointing a manager or signing players is the day we all should worry.

sh1t_ref_again Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I do think LJ is obviously clever to negotiate a 3 1/2 year deal very clever. If it does not go well the fans will turn on him very quickly and big pay off. He does have the advantage of coming in now, if we get relegated then he can say I could not bring in the players I needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 As he is now our manager, does todays result go on his record? Maybe they thought announcing it now with him in the stand would motivate the players - althought in truth that has not been the problem from my view.

Murraysrightplum Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 It does seem they have employed someone who fits into or is happy to fit into the current structure at the club. SC leaving when he did strikes me as though there was a big bust up in the board room over the way the club was being run. Big names like Pearson, Moyes etc would demand total control and that's why we've ended up with LJ IMHO of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
