REDOXO Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I was staring at Mrs REDOXO a second or two ago muttering about LJ and she said 'He's backing Lee because he didn't back Gary when he lost some players in the dressing room' My god I think she may be right!

Food for thought for sure. But SL shouldn't be trying to undo something he feels is a mistake by using LJ as a proxy for his father. If he wanted to undo the past with GJ, then hire GJ. Not his son, who is a shadow of the man in terms of management qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she may be! I'd have backed GJ a lot longer than I'd have given his son, who is, in his ineptitude, trashing the family reputation at the Gate.

GJ like LJ have both been given everything they ever wanted by SL. Not long after GJ was sacked, SL came out and said that basically he had let his heart rule his head and let things ( signings) get out of hand. This led to dressing room problems, the one at Plymouth was the last of many by all accounts. Imo he has fallen into the same trap again and let LJ run all over him, re signing far too many players. The more players in the squad the harder to keep them all happy, hence the ( rumours ?? ) of dissent in the dressing room this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Whatever SL's reasoning, it makes no sense to the majority of fans and, I'd wager, the majority of sane people in football generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably - like so many, many men before him - identified a man with very deep pockets who is bloody foolish in his inability to relinquish control we can create as many roles, as many structures, as many projects as we like.. doesn't stop SL playing championship manager effectively. Christ there was a big song and dance about SL not being chairman many years ago, that changed nothing. "We finally have football men in charge; Keith Burt, Mark Ashton". Bullshit. We just had another man on the payroll. Nothing changes. I am a keen admirer of SL, I genuinely believe he wants what's best... but he's incompetent and not learnt a thing from his time here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHAGa Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I think a big factor is that SL helped LJ get into management and doesn't want to be the first person to sack him as it wouldn't reflect well on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And many of us have absolutely no faith that LJ has the skill sets to turn things around next season whatever league that finds us in, first things first bring in somebody short term to hopefully stave off relegation and worry about a new manager in the summer, but get rid of the lot LJ and his coaches.

Phileas Fogg Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Imagine if SL had given GJ the same sort of backing in January of 07/08.. I think we'd have been promoted. Assuming we spent close to £2m this January.. a £2m striker or a good quality Prem loan would've got us over the line I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
