Big Red Rich Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 The fact LJ is still in the job compounded by the fact hes still allowed to go out & buy players is telling me he isn't going anywhere soon (sadly). So strap yourselves in, the BCFC rollercoaster we all have a season ticket for is about to depart. See you in league 1 with a splash..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkRed! Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Johnson is not buying the players though is he? - Ashton and Taylor are buying them. LJ just says what he needs.....he is a yes man and one of these modern coaches who works with what he is given. Trouble is, he has actually been given some very good players. For whatever reason it is not happening. If we can get a GK and a RB he really cannot have any complaints.....League 1 would be disastrous for the club. Unlike other relegations we are not yet cut off and are outside the drop zone thus I think there is still time for a recovery and a good one. We just need the board to make a strong decision and sack him....unless of course he can find some quick wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man in the middle Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 It's going to be a bumpy relegation fighting ride! But we have become use to that in the second tier, just in the past we haven't spent as much money in the transfer market to find ourselves there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Harry eloquently put in his post, the fact we are making signings has no bearing on whether LJ will go. We made signings last January remember when we didn't have a permanent manager! I'd be surprised if LJ is still our manager come the Forest game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All gone sadly wrong. Only Bristol City could balls up the legacy of a double winning side. What makes me sad is the football played by that team was some of the best I have seen.... the way we have wasted the momentum and failed to build on it is criminal...... you can see now SC's point - it is not the number of players who are bought in but the quality of them.....plainly he is being proved right.

Difficult to know for sure without knowing the exact reason for the new contract and what the terms of it were. However, to offer Andy Robinson a new contract as manager of Bristol Rugby only to fire him a couple of months later only for history to seemingly repeat itself with LJ in the same season is just ******* careless.

I hope one day SC will reveal all about his time at BCFC.... my own view is that he was badly let down and forced to accept a structure that he did not want. Whatever you think of him can you see SC having a drink with Ashton..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the new contract included a ' drop into the relegation zone and you're out without compensation ' . Of course it's totally unlikely but my point is that you have n't a clue what the contract contains so best not to speculate too much . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately when you do really well you're not allowed to say, can we stay where we are please. I hate the Championship with a passion, did last time, and do so this time. It's just miserable, bloody miserable, we can't compete, and there's always a feeling that something isn't quite right? We could put the whole Leeds team in a red shirt and overnight they'd turn shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
