Londoner Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 We all know that bristol city is run differently compared to other clubs....we aren't trigger happy, we give managers time, and support the buying if players when possible....however, is LJ at genuine risk of being sacked? He obviously has a bigger connection to us than previous managers, a new extended contract given and clearly rates by the board...but does it get to a certain point where they have no choice....7 in 8 loses is damning at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenkibby. Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Not a chance at this time. Will be the last thing Lansdown want's to do. If we can manage to claw our way in to the bottom 3 in the next couple of months he might be under pressure. But I think you'll all have to go along with it because the owner want's Lee for the long haul and I don't think he will sack him whatever happens this season. Even if we fell into the bottom 3 late in the season.(witch I don't think will happen anyway ) He's staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Let's put it this way, you would think that his new contract was a get out of jail free card, but then again he gave SC a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being so, understably, the first would be players that would see us compete but grow in to the first team, second would be littered with the same and experience and the third tying up loose ends.

If a manager can't ask for 18m then isn't the problem expectations - that's really just one full season for a bloke hired in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but if the manager doesn't actually mean what he says then why say it?, he has never once said that he expected our season to go the way that it has, all he has ever said is that he expects us to be challenging and we ain't, the reaction is completely normal.

AshtonGreat Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 To say Bristol City aren't trigger-happy is a joke, right? We've had five different managers in the past five years! Personally, I think Lansdown would pull the trigger if we were in grave danger of going down. He wouldn't accept his shiny new stadium hosting matches in League One - it would be less than half-full! Like others on here, I'm not confident that another transfer window will make a lot of difference; with a couple of exceptions, our signings under LJ so far have flattered to deceive.

KURTZ Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 After just having his contract extended, no. If we did in the event go down, i think SL would carry on with him. I hope he's with us for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 They come and they go. When McInnes was appointed I supported Eddie Howe. I now support Danny Cowley as the next manager. Not that Lansdown or Ashton ever have heard of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Lansdown being the problem what do you suggest ? He sells the club and to who? As I say I don't know the answers to how we step up to the next level, at times it looks like were moving forward then we hit the buffers. Strangely unless we get relegated (god forbid) I think were still taking baby steps in the right direction. Whether Lee is the man to turn us into a stable championship club and more who knows? A lot would have him out of the door tomorrow. But lets give him his three windows and then cast judgement, after all that's what he's asked to be judged on.
