pongo88 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Resignation would be honourable but managers don’t do the honourable thing. They wait until they get the sack to ensure they get the maximum payoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globe Trotter Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Not going to happen sadly. Manager never seem to resign in football any more - other than for personal reasons or a huge bust up with the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What tends to happen in many businesses is that the manager will have a discussion with the directors and they will arrive at a mutually agreeable outcome.

Carey 6 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Can’t see him taking the decision to leave. I can’t see Lansdown taking the decision to sack him either, but his contract is up at the end of the season unless I’ve missed an extension, so hopefully we choose not to renew it.

gazza1982 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Get a grip! Why would anyone resign and suffer financial detriment. I would imagine not everyone on here is great at their job day in day out, so would you quit your job if you were under performing? Hardly likley.

It’s not like someone on £20K a year, worrying about paying the bills, the overloaded credit card, the broken domestic appliance that they can’t afford to replace etc. is it. He wouldn’t be in imminent danger of having his house reposssessed, of having the CCJ’s stacking up, so the commonality with people on here isn’t really relevant.

But there is a very big difference between LJ and 99% of us. He's a £millionaire from his "Property Development" business, mostly financed by his wages at Yeovil and City under his father's management. If you and I lost our job, within a month we'd be almost destitute and scared stiff about non payment of the mortgage let alone the weekly grocery. When he bought a bottle of £375 wine for Mourinho, everyone should have realised that LJ does not live in the same world as us. Sack him now. He will not be homeless or starving!

Think it was rumoured at the time, they were waiting for the 'right moment' to let us know. 2020 might be too long to wait, was hoping he'd be gone by next summer at the very most!

BobBobSuperBob Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 His pay off wouldn’t look too bad and peanuts compared to the losses on a collection of disastrous loans or on the money lost on Engvall , Duric, Tomlin etc etc Time to say cheerio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon all our first squad is on 250-500k per season. That is from 5-10k a week. Exceptions would be those on their first contract or from academy. Kelly for example is probably not on loads. O’Dowda from L2 maynot be on much. Brownhill signed an extension and I imagine put him closer to the 10k a week than 5k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it is illogical to believe he will or should resign. Yes he does not need the money but i don't think that is why he is a manager. However much we think his time has come, he must have the self belief he can fix it. I personally think he is a genuine hardworking manager,, who really believes he can crack the code like Eddie Howe. Maybe he can, be if he learns from his mistakes here.

Managers have great self-belief, great belief in their own abilities and yeah an ego. Expecting him to resign is just unrealistic- he will back himself to turn it around again until it becomes untenable or until he turns it around- won't quit ahead of time though (unless perhaps he gets a big offer elsewhere)?
