Alan Dicks Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Who has allready done miracles on a shoe string budget and has enjoyed two promotions in his short tenure. A manager who has respect from his players, staff and fan's. A manager who gets the best out of his players and improves them no end. A loyal guy who turned down the chance to manage the best supported club in the chamionship. That guy manages a league club less than 5 miles away!!! Just going to grab my full body armour now.

weepywall Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Can't stand the man and it would never happen but his CV reads far better than LJs, he has done a decent job at a detestable club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the phuck did you work that one out?

Lew-T Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 That’s a step too far. Dean Smith and you might have my attention.. Saying that I don’t want the bloke gone. I just want him to learn from his mistakes and the frustrating is that he isn’t. It’s an awkward one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An utterly humiliating relegation out of the football league despite Rovers having one of the biggest budgets in L2 at the time. They hadn't been in the relegation zone all season until he took over.

Said this the other day, he’s been promoted a few times already at various levels, most recently at Grimsby & now somehow he’s got Shrewsbury challenging at the top end of league one. I heard he’ll be going to Ipswich in the summer if they don’t go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 If we were going to get rid of our own Manager who clearly fits the bill already, I would like us to look at the guys at Lincoln City, they have showed thatcthwy are able to learn a division quickly and get their team competing in it.

He had an even longer period of *"failure" *A term used uniquely by some people on OTIB to describe someone who has not reached constantly changing targets, or does or says things they don't like.

Fiale Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 DC's promotions were getting the team where they were (have been most of their existence). Do you get kudos for under performing, fucking things up and then getting back on track where you should be - I thought that accolade would be for maybe gamblers, drug addicts and alcoholics etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 He may be a decent coach but I wouldn't want him anywhere near my club . The man is classless and clueless. It is bad enough hearing him on RB., his horrible speaking voice and arrogance are overbearing and make me want to switch off . If I had too put up with that on a regular basis as coach of my club I'd stop tuning in . For all LJ's faults , I find his interviews often interesting, honest and pleasant to watch . This would rank up there with Pulis in terms of distaste for me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proven record even if not too entertaining. Someone ' like ' Pulis ? Yes , only if he was nothing at all like him . I would not object to McCarthy being on board , if he was motivated. I like LJ but just can't shake off the niggling doubts that I have about him. Perhaps the City job was too soon for him . I would like someone who knows about football, has a record of success and could stand up to SL , not that that went well for SOD. I started a thread entitled Bristol Cosy Football Club , my belief is that we are not hard nosed enough to push on to the very top . Everyone is mates with everyone else , does any one dare say " Lee, old son, that is a stupid idea " or What humongous gaffe does LJ have to make to get sacked ? I believe that any other coach would and probably should have gone last season let alone this one since December. Where's the signs of lessons being learnt ? I'm sure the atmosphere around the club is great , every one congratulating every one else for this ' fantastic ' season . Probably planning their summer holidays together. I'm happy for them but is it enough ? I don't think so . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
