RUSSEL85 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 There is much talk about a clause in in LJ's contract, should we fall in to the bottom 3, we can get rid at a reduced rate. I do think once we inevitably fall in to the drop zone, he will be gone. The thing is, will it be to late by then? Will we be relying on a "New Manager Bounce" to save us from relegation? Who knows, but just need to sit out Saturday. Burton will be a tough nut to crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true (and it doesn't sound particularly convincing to me), then what you're suggesting is that SL is happy to risk the huge financial impact of relegation in the long run to save a few quid in the short term paying off LJ to go early. By anyone's standards that's a rediculous gamble. I really hope that's not the case because game by game the risk is getting significantly bigger. Say it takes us another 4 matches to drop into the bottom 3. Then what? It makes rewarding the worst run of defeats in our history with an extended contract even more rediculous. What a mess. Again.

He thinks he's tremendous and the best act he's seen since Mike Yarwood,. Getting a bit bored with football etc now, SL doesn't want Lee back, that's why he in turn has captured the imposter and intends keeping him for star billing in the BS Theatre he's decided to build on the AV site (you heard it here first) SL is going to become a theatre impresario and the LJ impersonator (who is currently in intense training perfecting other characters as we speak - he really is hurting as much as we are btw) is to be SL's 'Mike Oldfield' as he starts his entry into the world of thespians, comedians and good old fashioned music hall variety. So, like quite a few of our posters dream of being, SL absolutely loves being the only one that is really ITK about what's happening at AG.(except me of course) no one else including MA and the squad have sussed it out yet....

I completely agree, that clause maybe rubbish but it has been floating around various social media sites but it may just be nonsense and as you say, one hell of a gamble. Its never easy being a City fan is it? I boring 14th place finish would have been lovely this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick to his original must win statement, if you say something at least have the conviction to stick to it. Or to be fair, I'd rather him just not speak at all - just get the results hes so good at talking about. Bored to death of it now after naively believing for months he was going to turn it around.

slartibartfast Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Two points re, Presser 1) Do the hacks not listen to the previous questions, it happens all the time exactly the same questions asked verbatim (this time THREE asking about Tammy) 2) I thought AS was leaving BP (certainly after Newcastle) but here he is STILL there at the press conference !

Not having a Must-Win mentality is why are in deep s^^t. I know what you mean and agree, to a point, but we need what... 5 wins probably..? So no individual game is a MUST win at this stage of the season. Of course they are all big games and the sooner we get the points needed, the better. We could lose 4-0 on Saturday and still comfortably finish clear of relegation, if we win other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clunes Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 It infuriates me that journalists give those in football an easy ride by asking pathetic questions you already know the answer to because they all come from a long list of clichés. after the Fulham game, LJ said there was no energy and he was going to pick the next team so that it was full of energy. We hadn't played in a week and it is quite frankly embarrassing that 11 players couldn't push themselves for 90 minutes. Their careers depend on it. Why aren't they fighting? Why didn't the presser ask this to LJ? Why are they tired as they aren't putting in a shift on the pitch. when SL was interviewed about LJ he was use adamant he could turn things around and we will avoid relegation. Why didn't the presser ask 'what have you seen in the last 5 months that gives you the confidence or makes you think results are suddenly going to start to change?' But no, these questions are never asked. Doesn't a local journalist have bigger ambitions anymore? Don't they want to get tough or are they prepped beforehand and given a list of things they aren't allowed to talk about. It's pathetic and makes an interview or press conference almost irrelevant and pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 4 hours ago, Bar BS3 said: Of course it's not a "MUST win"game. Its certainly a "really could do with winning" game. If we lose it will decide nothing, so it's not a must win game. Although perhaps for him individually it is...?! The point is, LJ stated in his after match interview at Villa, that it IS a must win game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just absolutely feed up to the back teeth with his over cautious approach. Just bloody go for it, we can't defend for toffe and every team we face knows it. Win win win mentality is needed to drag us out of the mire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
