We could hire Rowett and in a year, fans may call for his head or it maybe an unbridled success.. if LJ can through this patch, he could be success. Its a gamble, thankfully I'm not in that position to say stick or twist. For the record, I want LJ to succeed, I like the guy and he think he could be a success here based on his initial good work.. the signings potentially are an upgrade on what we had but right now I am in the unsure group.

Oops Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 2 minutes ago, JasonM88 said: I think you're actually part of the problem. I wish this club didn't have fans that are happy to sit back and watch one of the promising squads we've ever had rot away under a supposedly 'promising' manager. Promising squad, same shit fans. Show half as much passion supporting the team rather than crying and whining about them and we'd be half way there. For a club that's spent 40 years in the lower leagues, we have an embarrassing ratio of delusional fans who deem it necessary to criticize and belittle players and managers whether we win, lose or draw. We haven't yet earned the right to be challenging for honours, and to adopt the desperate sense of entitlement that some fans have is comical. No small part of the reason that we're forever trying to please the dipshit minority. The non-hand gesturing, non-swearing majority will always be second to the minority who use the club as an outlet for their anger and aggression, whatever happens on the pitch. It's like groundhog day year in, year out. Even the 2007-08 team was criticised for winning games 1-0, and I'm still baffled by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishreds Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 tinman82 is correct. If I remember rightly Marvin Elliott was voted by his fellow professionals in the championship player' player team that season; replacing Orr at right back with Elliott was a shocking decision. We'll never know but we really needed Elliott in midfield, Hull were not a great side. Carey to right back and bring on Vasko. The selection of Johnson also kept Hartley on the bench - joke.

I feel give LJ the next 2 games if no improvement then sorry change has to be made and lets hope Rowett is still around and wants it. Wouldn't be surprised if "feelers" along those lines have not already gone out. I would hope that the club have tentaively put feelers out to potential replacements. They must have a backup plan if they do decide (obviously reluctantly) on SL's part to pull the trigger. Arguably if LJ is given his marching orders then another 'up and coming' managet has been shown as not the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find threads like this incredibly disrespectful to LJ. The guy has dedicated a lot of his life to Bristol City and he really does care and is trying really hard. I do feel however that he will never ever be able to win some fans back no matter what he may achieve here. You make it sound like he is doing it for free. He gets very well paid.
