While I agree with hiring someone with experience in the game to handle this kind of thing, I wouldn't trust our board to get this right. The club wants to run itself on a certain model, and any football man we bring in will probably just be another Yes Man. Ultimately, it is Lansdown's own money that he's wasting, but it's a really ******* stupid way to run a club, especially one with Premier League aspirations. there are 71 other league clubs trying to get to the prem with only 3 places open that mean 68 will not be there next season, you need skill and luck, at the moment we have nether, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyAli Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I think Rotherham will be the final nail in the coffin........Assuming our streak continues and of course by then the transfer window will be shut!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkRed! Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 If reports in the Mirror are correct (and there is no smoke without fire) it looks like there may have already been tentative discussions with Rowett. This type of news story is basically probably leaked by GR's advisers so as to say to the owners of these clubs, " come on lads, I am available and I would be interested".... I reckon this is now a massive game for LJ tonight. Lose tonight and it could be curtains ..... the only thing that makes me dismiss this type of story is that LJ sounds pretty confident he aint gonna be sacked.....time will tell.

You only have to read these quotes before he was sacked. Cotterill was dismissed by Keith Dawe on 14 January 2016, despite his earlier favourable appraisal of Steve's ability to manage: "I believe Steve Cotterill has the capacity to be a Premier League manager".[61][62] Other senior figures at the club were also supportive of Steve prior to his dismissal, such as club owner Steve Lansdown: "He is the man at the helm to take us forward".[63] Career statistics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you right.... that was diabolical making him do the media.... really poor job from the club. He did not deserve that whatever fans think of the end of his reign. We would still be in League One if not League Two had he not instilled that winning mentality after the SOD nightmare.... Whatever we all think of LJ he would not deserve that either.....
