Robbored Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 It won't happen - yet. LJ just signed an extension to his contract. He's SLs golden boy to boot. Should things not improve by the spring then LJ might get sacked but with a very handsome pay off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 just bored you jump on the bandwagon of any bad result, someones had a cold pie, ect blah blah blah - no mater what you talk the same shit at every opportunity to attack SL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent performances I've seen haven't been good, admittedly, but no evidence to show he's lost the dressing room in my eyes. Are some just spouting clichés now we're in poor form and want him out? Plenty of stories about Cheddar - senior pros not 'with' the manager If you think they are just stories - try Tomlins outburst at LJ from the pitch at Huddersfield in front of whole bench and team - and allegedly the content of the outburst was as bad as it gets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Ive posted this many times now over the last 7 or so years but te problem is the club. I have absolutely no faith that sacking Johnson will herald the dawn of a bright new future. We are reactionary and make awful decisions when it comes to recruitment. You could see a mile off that the promotion season under Coterill was a flash in the pan yet people still believed that players like Flint and freeman were somoehow good enough to compete in the Champioship. This season has been awful. Even during the start you could tell we were actually not very good and relied on some huff and puff and taking more chances that a team normally would. But, sadly rhe last 10 years has conditioned me to this kind of smoke and mirrors bullocks. A new manger will come in, **** knows what will happen but I'll still be here and the merry go round keeps spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Give the team and club your support as they need it more than ever at the moment We have lost 8 out of the last 9 games nothing to do with luck, rub of the green or any other baloney.

Wolf Island Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 LJ will stay, Tomlin, Flint and GON will go. The players with character refuse to perform for their manager and don't trust his methods. SL MA and LJ believe they must be replaced with malleable Johnson clones.

The fact that it did happen, and then the fall out in the dressing room can be a problem that is the Elephant in the room, no one speaks of it but it ruins what the manager wants from his players for them to run through brick walls for him...they are demonstrating that they won't.

From what I've heard , and I trust where I heard it very strongly LT not only senior player to voice his opinions to LJ and LJ has lost respect of dressing room I don't know the reasons why , tactics ? Selections ? Outing players publicly ? ( ROD Sheffield Weds for example ) One things for sure not many sides with a happy dressing room go on this sort of run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth did SL appoint him? He had a good reputation with some influential people, including at Man City it seems. Of course Brendan Rodgers told us what a great coach SOD is so reputation as a coach doesn't necessarily translate into capability as a manager.
