bs3 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Apologies for an early thread . Someone I know who is close to things at Ashton Gate was told the players were sent home from training and LJ went to AG, I posted in good faith but checked with another source and found out this afternoon that this was inaccurate. LJ did in fact take training. Here what I know from people various sources inside and outside the club. I am NOT saying anything is true below but this is what have said and talked about today at the club. LJ has offers to resign a couple of hours ago. Pemberton is gone. They have until Saturday to sort things out! Milen may be coming back to the club in some capacity. My sources are 100% genuine but even there are at a lost to know what is happening, what we can be sure of today it was not business as usual.

I text a coach at my Saturday team who is part of the youth setup to see if he knew anything about the training situation. He said all he knew was that there were various meetings today involving management and first team members. on its own didn't really mean anything but possibly backs up what you say. unfortunately although he works with the youth he isn't a city fan so doesn't really pay attention to what's going on outside of his remit, so he's a crap source of gossip generally!

I can believe SL would try and get someone in to help LJ rather than sack him, but it would have to be someone like Harry Redknapp (mentioned in another unconnected thread) rather than someone like Millen.
