We'll only hound him out after a bad run and the cycle continues. So we settle for shit? No wonder the big boys think we are tinpotters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs3 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I always thought LJ was a poor choice and easy/cheap option for manager but I hoped I would be proven wrong but alas Johnson is useless and should be sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 10 minutes ago, WolfOfWestStreet said: We cant keep sacking managers it does not work. As much as I want agree with this, sometimes not sacking managers doesn't work either. Would we have survived last season had Cotterill stayed? It seems unlikely. Would we have been promoted if SOD had stayed? The reality is that our recent history has shown that sacking a manager DOES work. Not wanting to keep sacking managers is a noble aim but not in itself a reason for not sacking Johnson. Reading to me now feels like do-or-die for him.

I'm just not happy about it. The transition from coach to manager isn't ana easy one. Plus JP has been here for some time now. A fresh face would be better (imo).

RT's Vaseline Tub Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just like they did with the rugby coach offering him a new deal prior to his imminent sacking. Some people never learn.... LJ also doesn't trust his own permanent signings either as still the same pre his era starting 11 bar Magnusson & Brownhill with Tomlin already in on loan & Tammy obviously on the season long loan.

Wrongagain Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Have to agree, last couple of years as a player he bottled it on the pitch, never wanted the ball in a tight situation, constantly putting us in a defensive situation when we had been happily moving forward, We are now seeing the same thing, young attacking players chomping at the bit to make a difference, do they get a chance? No they are lucky if they get a place on the bench in a cup game. LJ would rather carry on with the same stale formula - or should that be HIS SAFE formula, if he has not yet lost the dressing room he soon will!

The failure lies firmly with one man - SL who has made those appointments We need, and fast, professional input at Board Level Can anyone name our Board?

Yes I believe the buck does stop with SL, and he is patently failing. of course, the club would have gone on, as it will when SL has had enough. No man, even a multi millionaire with a plaything, is irreplaceable But what really frightens me is not SL's inability to appoint managers in anything approaching a professional way, but the dark legacy of Bristol Sport, and a club ground no longer owned by the club with which City may be saddled for decades to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 LJ won't be sacked and won't resign, SL will back him in the January transfer window and we won't be like other clubs who follow the sacking cycle - not this time Admittedly we are on a poor run and the squad need a boost, bit of luck, rub of the green just something to snap us out of this run. We are not getting hammered week in week out like 12 months ago and the first 12 games of the season many were patting LJ on the back and saying what a bright young Manager he is.

We know they can, but are not doing the basics. The players he bought are barely getting in and some just sit on the bench doing nothing, thus we are not changing anything! Something is severely wrong right now. Its not just we are loosing but the caliber of the goals we give away....Something has to change quickly and if LJ can not do it then someone else will have to! I keep hearing we are not far off and are losing by the odd goal, however that is often due to teams shutting up shop and getting over the line. Thats football at this level.

Well the Board should have an idea,but they wouldn't have a clue as to what to do, so they will do nothing. But as to who would want to come? I don't really know, however our squad looks threadbare of Championship quality players, one are on this run, we need a good window, but can't really see us attracting what we need. Thankfully we are still 7 points from the dreaded, which is about 8-10 matches worth if we continue this run. Players like Tomlin should be busting a gut, he is not, Lee has to sort this one out asap, don't care who he thinks he is, he seems to be the main problem. Need another Wilbs type, who can defend set pieces too, and in truth all the squad need to be more fluid, and work a lot harder. The goals we are conceding are terrible, mostly down to not getting in where it hurts. As I keep saying, too soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
