Chairman Mao Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Inevitable, one man (18yr old) team. Pathetic. Btw, Byran is a center mid, good display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Notgetinya Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 No manager will walk away, they wait to get sacked so they get their contract paid up. Not sure how I feel about LJ. IF we could get Rowett I'd CONSIDER moving quickly for him. I want LJ to succeed but why we extended his contract I will never understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redandy Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 This has to be Lansdown's biggest mistake by a country mile and he has made a number. Johnson has reduced our team to a shambles. How are the players supposed to know what they are doing when it is clear the Manager is utterly clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Why would he walk away? He signed a contract and it's up to the club to go to him and come to an agreement to leave, if he walked away it would make him a man who doesn't want to fulfil his contract/a quitter, something far worse. LJ will stick to his job and keep pushing, if he deserves to walk so do a lot of our squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL is an astute businessman and has probably put pen to many contracts over the years which I am sure have clauses in there which protect his arse if things go wrong. In Lees contract there may well be details written which make it subject to performance, results, league position......and if not, there should have been!

Bear in mind, SL employs Ashton to 'run' the football side and he decided LJ was the man. I would blame Ashton on this occasion, not SL. While I would have loved this to work, he's out of his depth and has to go, for the sake of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you remembered all the fawning over LJ Mr L has done in the past.... I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mr Ashton was told who he was going to get,end of discussion.

samo II Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 From what LJ just said on the radio, he's going nowhere. Even mentioned SL coming down to say how well he felt we played for 70 mins; make of that what you will. No idea myself. Expect him to be in charge for the Cardiff game at least.

Not at all but I think it's wrong to apportion the blame for the appointment at SL's door this time when It was Ashton who supposedly said he was the right man. If, as you say, Ashton was told what to do by SL, then he deserves all the criticism he gets, That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying there isn't but that doesn't change that it's Johnsons job to manage us and do his best, if the board sack him, fair enough but under no circumstances does he do anyone any favours if he walks away. If he walks he leaves the club without a manager and not when they expect it, if he's sacked then he's done all he can and the club have decided it's not enough. I don't think any manager should walk away whilst the board still stand with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
