Dr Balls Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 38 minutes ago, Jack Dawe said: SL's greaking point will not come until mid September, when, after a slow start back in L1, we are thumped 1:4 at home by Rovers in front of 14,000 at AG, a Rovers team costing one tenth to assemble of the City team LJ has put together. If this really is the future on offer, there will be a steep drop off in season ticket sales. That won't do anything for the club's finances. I am not sure that SL has done his sums right on this one if the issue is paying off LJ. Can SL really afford us going back to League 1 either financially or in terms of his reputation? Who would want to join the "Lansdown Club" if squandering the club's first title in 60 years and returning to the same league 2 years later is on his CV as major club shareholder? Hardly a record to envy! I didn't have SL down as a risky gambler but he is definitely taking a major risk on LJ. Is he worried about destroying some friendships if he sacks LJ? Never employ friends for your important jobs. It can all end very badly. You would have hoped that by now he might have known to keep business and friendship separate, especially in football where managerial turnover is so high. Naive seems the best description...

Not sure it'll require the nightmare prospect of relegation, and a home thumping by Rovers, to have a huge adverse affect on ST sales. A notable drop is already likely after this season's disappointments even if we stay up but just keeping LJ will be frustrating enough for many more to decide not shell out hundreds of pounds for the prospect of witnessing similar next season. We need renewed hope to be enthused for next season, and that means a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
