Guest Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Can I firstly lay claim to the shortest ever TITLE. Without going into any of the arguments for and against him has any one actually seen SL at any of the recent football games? Has he commented about the new coach arriving (I don’t mean the blue one that used to be red)? He really seems to have taken a vow of silence about the club he owns, while I believe he has held a Q and A with the rugby fans? Any thoughts?

I think there seems to be a genuine push at the moment from SL to JL to be more assertive and have a bigger presence at the club befitting what a Chairman should actually be doing. The whole "lack of communication apology" from JL alluded to this for me. I'm not bothered about not hearing from SL as long as JL stands up and is accountable. It's when the pair of them go into silent mode, that the whole club seems to meander through long periods in a directionless manner. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Not aware he’s seen a game in person for quite some while, those who go in the stand that bears his name might have a more definitive view. He held a Q & A recently for the rugby & was seen at the next game after it too. Hard to avoid the conclusion he’s completely lost interest & handed it over to his son. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noize Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) If we had won our last 3 games 4-0 i'm sure you would see and hear him everywhere, however, probably doesn't want to make himself a target for some "negativity".

Northern Red Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Don't know if he's been this season, he was definitely at the last home game of last season against Burnley as he was on with Twentyman beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Just a case of looking after the Rugby and letting Jon look after the Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if I'm wrong but I think the first time THIS SEASON JL spoke was informing us that Nige had been sacked. Information full of LIES by the way. That decision looks like it's going to really bite him, and BT, fully in the ass. Top 6? Don't make me ******* laugh.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Can usually see him from where I sit but not seen him for past 4 or 5 games at least. He's usually next to Jon and his red and white scarf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and the fallout from that result went a long way to sealing Nige's fate, though the search only really began for his successor after the Leeds game a week later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 He is an owner and ultimately has the last say on major decisions, no matter how much JL is pushed forward. I expect to hear from him occasions, especially as the change is the budget available to Nige was squarely down to him. He should have fronted that up and not sent out a CEO who he sacked not long afterwards. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KITR I'm sure will put me right but simply throwing away a 2 goal lead to a horribly out of form Stoke side with 1 point and 2 goals on the road I expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The club" (sure you can guess who) thought the tactics and in-game management was really poor and that we threw away the 3 pts because of it. That game made it one win from our opening five home games and I think the club were already fed up, and the die was cast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is exactly what they should have used as the reason for his departure. The home form has been poor for a long time. If they’d have said something along these lines then it would have at least given some better and more realistic reasoning for them wanting a change. Rod for own back ultimately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
