Poor decision making on managers and the cost of sacking them. Other clubs with less money are doing better Our much vaunted Academy has yet to produce one gem I really am amazed at folks still believing in SL. He simply isn't good enough. without SL we would be a backwater club and we are far from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 SL probably realises there's nobody else better out there currently who is better than LJ and would join us if offered. We could end up with an SO'D type appointment and then our fate would be sealed. He's probably looking at LJ at Barnsley where the team did recover after a similar bad run. I get the impression though that if we lose the next 2 league games he would have to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year including some of the ground rebuild HE spent over 50 million. Some people are so deluded to laughable. Yup his club he can do what he wants. SL is obviously concerned as its his money and you can guarantee he will change if the next few games are similar. My worry is its too late now because I cant see us turning it around. The football is pathetic and getting worse by the game. LJ also seems to follow in his Dads footsteps with being incapable of dealing with the bigger name players. We are lucky to have Lansdown yes but its bloody depressing seeing all these other clubs constantly leapfrogging us with or without money whilst we make no progress.

Otib can be over dramatic at times but I would disagree right now that it's not representive of our fanbase. On all forms of social media and in person I reckon it's 80% in favour of LJ going I agree completely. However SL has cut his cloth for now. The telling comment was LJ's job is as safe as it could be "RIGHT NOW" This is the dreaded vote of confidence. Thus SL has made himself culpable. Listening to Sound of the City, which was very good, what struck me was this....Freeman wont sign a contract, Tomlin accused of having lost form, GON injured again, Mark Little injured again, Bobby Reid to be found riding Shergar, Joe Bryan loss of form and played out of position, Korey Smith wouldn't get in at the Gas, Matthews loss of form sick note....Not to mention Odowda Brownhill Patterson....Say what you like about those three. We looked lethargic against Brentford gone down hill from there and total Toss at NF. Why do so many people look at these things in isolation...They are all symptoms of the deeper problem....We are in a mess and LJ has no clue how to bring it around and that has now got through to the players.... Two things, again we need a leader on the pitch Hegler is the new broom or, Tin Hat Time, Tomlin....He is constantly trying to get the players and supporters up despite being played on the wing. Or Flint if he is up for it. He is the guy that gets everyone up! And if we have to keep LJ, he needs help and its not Holden obviously...Joe Jordan with a temporary advisory brief would be my man!

I do not think for one minute that he'll allow this situation to fester on if we don't take a minimum of 4 points from Wednesday and Rotherham. Well he ain't done a very good job. I'm seething. I've smashed almost everything within reach and almost put me boot through the telly. Because of my foul mood everyone has gone out. So much for anger management. Thanks a bunch Lansdown.

SL has backed him so all we can do is get behind the team in the meantime. IF we do lose the next couple of games then I am sure SL will chop him anyway. Chill the F out IMO. So your point is this, the next coupe of games he needs results and if he does not get results its ok to chop him in your opinion? However for some that time has arrived already! what makes your position more tenable than the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastonboy Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Perhaps SL has a defined strategy that no one has considered? Rather than pay for your best asset to go away, he has instead realised that there is a queue of Premier League clubs willing to pay US compensation to take the highly sought after up and coming manager off of our hands? Isnt that what was said on his appointment? Clever Mr Lansdown, very clever. This is the reason sir that you are a billionaire and I am scum. I doff my cap to you sir and your genius.

Redandy Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Confirms if it was necessary how hopeless SL is at football matters. He is a great City man and backed City to the hilt and for that he has my utter respect but sticking with Johnson is shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are numerous examples of well run clubs who didn't have to p1$$ over £100m against the wall in order to achieve a lot more than we have!!! Like who? £215 million was spent this summer in the championship. We contributed to about £7/8million of that. Wolves spent more on one player,where has it got them? Although we've spent more than we have in our future, we've had to do that to try and keep up. We are still miles behind the spending power of many clubs in our league.
