Have to say I was less than impressed with the results of his short time here, but let’s hope that football’s loss is grass’ gain (pun intended) https://www.grassgains.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that type of business he’d have been dynamite under LJ. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 He couldn’t have arrived at a much worse time, in the COVID season right at the tail end of Holden’s time in charge when the wheels had completely fallen off. In a terrible side he was by no means our worst player (his pass at Millwall for Tommy Conway’s first ever goal was sublime, if Liam Walsh had ever managed to do that we would never have heard the end of it) plus as he proved as a squad player at Luton with the right team mates around him he could do a steady job. I can think of plenty who have been worse & hung around for far longer picking up wages & giving nothing back. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antman Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 i'm not sure the wording went through PR though 'Henri has developed a passion for Grass...' So did Cheech and Chong. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Just goes to show how bad at managing money footballers must be to need a career after football. I bet Lansbury averaged 25k/week over the course of his career. That’s £15.6m for a 12 year career. (This is semi tongue in cheek based upon a Simpson’s episode where it’s suggested Principal Skinner is a millionaire based upon his 25 year career at 40k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 That'll be doing the perfectly striped lawns of Prem and Championship (but not L1) footballers and other proper wealthy sorts, you would think, whilst Bakes does their investments. Gardens that you see in magazines whilst waiting at the dentist. I don't suppose he'll be mowing in the suburbs for £20 an hour. My Mountfield (I call it "Derek") is playing up at the moment, struggle to get the thing started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lansbury had very little impact here - but was part of a pretty dreadful period here. I don't think anyone would have come in & looked great.

Fordy62 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 He put no effort in week in week out. And that one time he put a big effort in to try to do a goal line clearance, he got sent off for it hitting the cross bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried, though, in fact he tried really hard. He was just rubbish. Not sure what's worse. Smith was really poor but there were plenty of others in the Osman era & under Cooper too when we were playing literally anyone to field a side. This has been done to death several times before but the likes of Colin Loss & Henry McKop under Osman, Paul Williams, Simon Panes & loads of kids given 2/3 games who never made it & just before TC arrived Ray Gooding & Les Carter, absolute shite. Chris Brunt was a terrible signing under Holden (literally couldn’t run), Jody Morris has already been mentioned too, personally I think Liam Walsh did less. Lansbury played regularly in a side that went up to the Prem after leaving us, he was of a far higher standard than all of these, as has been pointed out above picked the worst time to arrive.
