Chivs Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Just listened to SL on the radio. He's between a rock and a hard place. Clearly he knows the current form isn't good enough and if it continues Johnson must go. But he didn't want to be so blunt. I agree with others that the Rotherham game is probably the do-or-die moment. I do take issue with all the fans on here who are convinced that "the fans" want Johnson out. Perhaps, just perhaps, most of us are, as one of the radio chaps said, sick of the sacking culture in football. I don't think anyone can definitely say what City fans want. I look at the crowd at AG and see frustrated, and disappointed, people but not a crowd of pitchfork waving mob like OTIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 1 minute ago, Emperor Palpatine said: Sorry but whether you like it or not the fact is this club bent over backwards to bring him in, pay him a hefty wage and you expect him to perform and he hasn't... . So LJ criticises Tomlin, people beat LJ with a large stick, Lansdown says what he says, he's criticised. So does this mean LT is untouchable and is exempt from any criticism? I've been a critic of SL in the past but I agree with him on this count Nope. I said LJ's criticism of LT was entirely fair before; he's the manager, and his job is to look out and organise the playing side of things. Entirely different proposition when you're self-claimed "hands off" majority shareholder digs into a player - completely different scenario, and not one I'm comfortable with. I have incredible respect for Mr Lansdown, and believe he wants what is best for the club. But let LJ and Ashton manager and look after the playing side; otherwise it muddies the water.

Bris Red Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Does anyone think Lansdown is up to leading this club anymore?

I BELIEVE Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I think by trying to make things better, he's made things a whole lot worse.

AshtonG666 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Tomlin is a decent player but it's been well documented that he can be a pain in the ass behind the scenes Maybe this will be the kick up the backside he needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliesboots Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Very clever statement in not naming LJ, that to me feels he's had his first and final warning. As much as there's a groundswell of opinion Lee is fired (of which I'm very much now in that camp) SL isn't going to play along with that...yet It also reaffirms for me that MA would have fired Lee by now and SL has gone and played the boss card by stating the record his position I do feel for SL in the sense that he's not exactly media friendly or comfortable with the public relations needed as a modern football club owner...he has come out and let his position be known so whatever he would have said he would be castigated both ways.

petehinton Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I couldn't think it could get worse but congratulation SL, you've made it worse. To sit there and say "LJ has the support of the vast majority of fans" after 90% voted him to be sacked, and there were 3x Johnson Out banners by the ground. To say our best player, and one of the best players in the league, is "off the boil" moments after saying "I'm not heavily involved on match day anymore" - hilarious. If I was Tomlin I'd be writing a transfer request right now. He could do 10x better than a club that's just surpassed 8 successive losses in a league he was voted player of the season in 2 years ago. Does he really think "our relegation battle may go to the wire" after signing 2 players from the Bundesliga, as well as having Gary O'Neil, a player who's been promoted from this league about 6 times, Tomlin (see above), and Tammy Abraham is a good place to be in?!! He has just lost all of my respect after that. LJ came in saying he felt 'guilty' for not getting the club to the Prem. God only knows how he feels now after turning the fans against him and the board, led us to our record defeats, and become the first manager in recent history to ever have banners for him to be sacked dotted around the city.
