If Millen coming is a precursor to LJ and Holden getting the boot and Pardew joining him then that would go someway to making things good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire reds Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Why have the club said nothing. Confirm it or deny the rumours not difficult. Unless something else is brewing. Pardew and millen maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone heard he'd gone yesterday and reported it on here. The club haven't commented. Pemberton appears to have let the cat out of the bag - but quickly put It back in. Shambles. My guess: he's gone and the club/LJ/MA/AB are running round in absolute circles, tying themselves up in knots, trying to paint this whole fiasco in a positive light. People at the club read this forum - they know the rumors going round - they can either quash it dead or let it rumble - rumble appears to be the modus operandi for today. I have a feeling this is only the start of a chain of events (based on a wild guess only) that will leave people scratching their heads in utter bemusement. Even more so than they are currently. Hey, but anything to distract from the shambles on the pitch, right!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC_Dan Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 43 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Do managers completely rely on defensive coaches to get the team to defend properly? Do these defensive coaches coach our attacking players how to defend? I'm confused how pembo can be blamed for our defending. If someone like warnock came in then he'd tell pembo exactly what we are doing and we'd stop conceding so many. Its all down to the manager. I believe Johnson doesn't know about the defensive part of the game, which makes him a useless manager. It seems like this is a desperate attempt to shift the blame onto someone else. And quite incredibly some people are falling for it. They might rely on the coaching staff to communicate their ideas to the players. If we make the following assumptions: The players are, in general, good enough for this level Lee Johnson understands the theory behind his tactics and can demonstrate this via Powerpoint Then the problem is likely to be one of the players being either unable or unwilling to implement his instructions. Some managers are able to get their message across themselves. Others may be more reliant on their coaches to give instruction and motivate the players. If Johnson is in the latter camp then he could still succeed but would need someone good to do this job for him. Pemberton may have been failing at this part of his job. If my speculation is accurate then it's the right decision. However it is still poor timing and should have been done months ago if it was the case.

I think what you highlight is the pernicious thing in this sacking if it has happened. Lansdown isn't fooling anybody with this. He's losing fans in so many ways now. Terrible times for City.

Cider Queen Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 At this moment in time I hate my club I mentioned on another post at the club is BIGGER than anyone person. The sooner that the powers wake up to that the better. If anything I would place LJ on gardening leave and put Pembo in charge.. But then I'm only a fan and clearly they don't give a shit about us.

How they thought they could keep this quiet until after tonight's game I've no idea. Naive in the extreme. As for the second bit my source is not connected with the football club. And if Adam B or the Lansdowns are reading - it didn't come from Pembo either! 6 minutes ago, Coppello said: Thanks for sharing mate.
