BCFC J Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just saw the full interview, he said that he 100% expects Lee to be in charge after the Burton game. Is he taking the p*ss? Saying he wants to stay on the right path that the club is on, what's that? The path to League One? Unbelievable interview, can't believe what I've just heard come out of the blokes mouth.

CotswoldRed Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 He has to be bluffing. He'd never run Hargreaves Lansdown so recklessly. He can still stay on the right path without Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC J Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 We aren't on any sort of right path! He's going nowhere by the sounds of that, surely he wouldn't commit to that if he was going to sack him after the Toon game. People who think otherwise are hoping rather than expecting.

ashton_fan Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 He said in one interview we got rid of McInnes too early, and things got worse when we brought SO'D in, once bitten twice shy I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Thompson Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Agree after the one or two going over the top against Fulham I'm not taking my grandson. I've seen yobs in action too many times before. I hope security is tight but I fear that there will be one or two banned for future games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But MacInnes had more success than LJ before he was appointed. Admittedly north of the border but still something tangible. Plus when MacInnes took over from Millen, he kept us up with his own back room team, against a back drop of having to significantly cut costs, particularly the wage bill. He wasn't given millions to spend on players, yet he still managed to bring in Baldock in part exchange for Maynard. So yes he may have got rid of MacInnes too quickly but no-one could accuse him of that now. And to be seen not to act when you had the opportunity and that lead to relegation will make him culpable in many fans eyes. Some Leicester fans may be mourning the loss of Ranieri but if the choice was keep him & go down, or get rid and stay up, you know what most fans are ultimately going to say. No manager is so important that they can't be replaced (Fergie being the exception that proves the rule). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC_ Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I fear it's not a bluff, he probably values his personal relationship above his professional one and wouldn't lie publicly to LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire reds Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 He is taking a massive gamble keeping Lee. I hope it pays off. But what if we get a hammering tomorrow surely he can't back him. If we can't put in a performance at this venue with nearly 3k city fans there. I am up in newcastle and have seen few city fans up here tonight. Fingers crossed for a win but sadly I fear a big defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlborough Red Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Whilst I disagree with much of the content of the interview tonight , I admire the fact that he accepted the need to talk to the fans and took the time to face up to the media and answered the questions regarding LJ's future . We may not like the fact that LJ is staying (at least until the Burton match) but I admire SL's integrity and honesty .Reading between the lines , sounds to me that if we are in the bottom 3 after the Burton games then SL's patience will have been exhausted and LJ will be replaced. Interesting contrast with the Leicester Board strategy on how to stay up - who knows what will happen next at both clubs given the differing approaches. Let's hope our results improve starting tomorrow and we stay in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonG666 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 If we are bottom 3 after the Burton game and that's SL's trigger, by the time we search and get someone else in, another 3-4 games would have probably come and gone and it's bye bye championship, thanks for having us!

BristolNorthEndRed Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hmm, so; not only did Lee Johnson have his playing career handed to him on a plate, he’s now having his managerial career handed to him on a plate.

Septic Peg Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just watched it on Made in Bristol (if anyone missed it, it's repeated at 4am, 7am and 10am tomorrow morning) and I'm gobsmacked. I have a lot of respect for SL and I wouldn't call for him to sell up and the like but he's being bloody-minded and pig-headed. He's quite right, we can't keep changing managers but what other option is there now? Lee is rolling the dice more times than James Bond on a stag weekend in Vegas. Unless this is all an elaborate ruse, we are fewked. If we slide into L1 next season, I'll hand deliver some humble pie to AG with Steve's name in the pastry.
