It would be remarkable if SL hadn't contemplated replacing LJ, but the 'project' signings would likely continue unabated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Cider Ed Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 A conspiracy theory I have thought up: Lee Johnson wont be sacked until after the transfer window as Tammy has a recall option that allows him to be recalled if LJ isnt manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 It can't be a seriously super conspiracy theory without aliens, lizard people, time travel or interdimensional beings involved (preferably all four), I am calling bullshit on this one.

If we don't have a keeper that can actually stop the ball from going in the net then one players contact will be the last of our worries. Cut your losses and all of that.

So that entails being able to find a club to take them and pick up their wages. It's not that easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just drop them? Great way to advertise Ashton Gate as the place to come to develop your potential. This isn't a Playstation game. Perhaps one of the main issues is we already have TOO MANY. If you have six Keepers on your books, how effective can the coaching be? How can you ensure your first choice gets concentrated and focused specialist coaching whilst your number 2 keeper gets the right development. People often ask me what I'm on about when I say back the manager because the problems are elsewhere in the club. This is a prime example. I thank God everyday for the financial backing of SL, but maybe if he wasn't so monied up we'd actually have to focus on making sensible and sustainable decisions about squad personnel and the club in general. FFP means we need to build a sustainable club. The Kodj money is great but who we can't rely on that with our model. So no, we can't just drop them.

Obviously it isn't ideal but what we have simply is NOT good enough. Our keepers just are not good enough. We have 6 on our books but that isn't a fair representation of how our goalkeepers train. They're not all crammed in to the same 60 minute session and fight over who gets the most 1 on 1 training. We have the facilities to have another goalkeeper if we need it. The rest doesn't really apply to the situation but I agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
