"If he goes there will be trouble, if he stays there will be trouble" ( sorry Clash fans) Can't see anything/anyone that will change the way we are before the end of the season. The one possible hope is that there are three teams worse than us- which seems hard to believe. There isn't currently three teams worse than us though......just the one and they're down.

Me too although Pulis was an absolute disgrace a manager of our club if it gave us a chance of staying up I would jump at it, unfortunately with LJ in charge and nothing changing we are heading to a point of no return.

Brilliant. I love a bit of positivity. Well done. So ( and in summary) - we only have to hope that there are just two teams worse than us because the other one doesn't count.

MarkRed! Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 On way back... depressed....We have gone from a high tempo, passing and pressing team to long ball merchants.... utter shite. Team keeps changing and he does not know his best 11...LJ has not got a clue... what is it that our owners see in this clown....Given the resources he has had he is the worst City manager of all time... fck off LJ now.

Gert Mare Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Far too late to make a change. "We're not in the bottom 3 cut adrift"....No, but the form of nearly half of a season proves that we are going down, straight down, not good enough for the Championship, money wasted. FML. I have never heard a more frightening comment from anyone with half a brain involved in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 He should go. He should have gone after Cardiff. But there's no way Lansdown will get rid of him before the weekend after a game he would have probably chalked off as a pretty much guaranteed defeat. Despite the fact that with Villa's form it should have been an eminently winnable game. And with the Norwich game coming around so quickly after I reckon he'll have that game as well. I thought after Forest he would go. After Fulham I was certain of it. I was wrong. I wouldn't even be surprised now if he was allowed to stay until the end of the season and in all likelihood take us down. What a completely avoidable farce it really is.

snodge Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I suspect that this a contractual matter. LJ is simply waiting for a pay off. It is disgusting if this is this is the case. I read the recent articles regarding the players who ripped up their contracts in the 80's to save the club; some of whom lost their businesses and livelihoods. **** off LJ go fall on your sword; alas you don't have one so it would seem as the recent results confirm. Just sack him, and now FFS. Without prejudice as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubble Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have this feeling there is a clause in his contract after a certain number of games if we are in the bottom 3 his pay off is massively lower - just a hunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumRed Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 10 minutes ago, Bubble said: Expand RumRed? I was just suggesting that if we were stupid enough to write a contract where we had to be in a relegation place before a reduction in pay off we've been fools. Surely longest losing streak in the clubs history, worst in the form table, bottom 6 for x number of weeks would be the criteria for telling him to do one in a contract. If the only criteria is to be in the relegation places then BS are a bigger bunch of muppets than even I thought. And I think they're pretty big muppets already.

It utterly beggars belief. As other have said, if he had an ounce of dignity and integrity and truly cared for the club he would hold his hands up and admit that it's not working and walk away... as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
