Northern Red Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 1 minute ago, Super said: Maybe we have someone lined up and they don't want Pemberton. Possibly. Holden is LJ's man so you'd assume he'd go as soon as LJ does, whereas Pemberton is a bit different in that he was here before and could potentially stay if any new manager wants him to.

Dynamite Red Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 You just know it will be Pembo sacked and someone brought into support LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoourt Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Footballer like things kept simple. Having divergent opinions in the coaching isn't going to be useful. Two assistant coaches was always a gamble. Like it or not, LJ is head coach so would have made this decision. The fact it has been actioned makes me think we will have LJ for the season, irrespective of results. Club would surely know this would go down about as well as a white and blue quartered away kit, so if nothing else - it's pretty ballsy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems have been the last 5 for starters. All culpable but I was under the impression that Pembo was overseeing the defensive side of coaching... makes sense at least if he is binned considering a lot of our problems have been defensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case then I simply cannot see how it takes 12 months to work that out. Personalities, whether you get on and whether you can work with someone is generally worked out a hell of a lot quicker than it taking over a year. Unless LJ didn't have the balls to do it before and is now clutching at straws to keep himself in a job which is how it looks to me. Should it be true of course!!

eastonboy Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 My source has told me that Pembo has gone and Lee has signed a new and improved 10 year contract worth 2 packets of wotsits, 1 lionbar and a curly wurly. He also has the rider in his contract that he gets unlimited goes on the Wurlitzers when they are up the Downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you on this (Think your prediction is coming over the hill) but poor decision after poor decision Perhaps SL is trying to waste as much money as he can to diminish inheritance tax liabilities !!!

He was also a coach when we had the most successful season I've ever seen, and a hugely positive influence as caretaker when Cotts went. He's the only remaining link on the coaching staff to that fantastic season. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes but LJ as head coach is clearly more culpable than Pemberton. Results since Holden joined have been a catastrophe. I'd be looking at those two long before getting rid of JP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope your account has been hacked 1 hour ago, Club and Country said: One thing I picked up on Saturday being sat near the dugouts was pemberton was constantly berating the players and throwing his arms all over the place with almost every single phase of play while Holden just kept whispering stuff to Johnson instead of barking any direct instructions Pint being permberton clearly wasn't happy where as no one else's seemed bothered This has bothered me for some time, whatever happens on the pitch Johnson stands around doing nothing. That's why quite a few people said they would like Rosler down here, never stopped encouraging,berating and instructing his team earlier in the year.
