Gert Mare Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 There has to be a press announcement tomorrow lunchtime?! However, like others I think we have left it too late. From 6th to total and utter freefall culminating in our longest losing streak in our history, and yet the manager remains at the helm. It is utterly bonkers!

shelts Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Effort. Not enough I'm afraid . Tactical nous from our manager not good enough.

Toffee dog Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Can't see him going, think Lansdown will back him to the end! He needs to go, tonight was utterly shocking, at present given up hope of stopping this freefall to division 1. Don't know what else to say, if we go down Ashton Gate will be a cup final for most teams which will make it very difficult to get out of that division for a while. Nothing else to say apart from we wait with anticipation from the powers that be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm no longer surprised by sections of our support. Whatever you think of him as a manager, what a pathetic and embarrassing tweet the one I've attached below is to send him. His twitter mentions full of pretty nasty abuse as per but thought that was particularly distasteful. He's a football manager who's not doing a very good job, albeit trying his best. People treat him like he's a criminal or something on twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he should remain in the job as he's failed but I have absolutely zero against him personally. He's tried his best and he wants the team to win as much as anyone. On a forum people like this have their posts deleted and they are suspended, Twitter and Facebook lack these controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 18:30 - the Domino's has arrived. LJ has got his knickers in a knot as they forgot the extra onion. "Are you f****** clueless?" he bellows down the phone. "Do you know who I f****** am? I want a new pizza here within 15 f****** minutes." He then launches the phone into the recovery tub of which Geifer has just exited. MA is sat in the spot normally reserved for Tammy, averting his eyes and munching his pizza. Taylor is sat next to him and keeps trying to tell MA all about the time him, Darrell and Ellis Harrison were in the Wellington. Something about a cock and a trophy but MA doesn't know anything about breeding champion strain Chickens that got a 1st at the Bath & West. So he's totally bemused. Lee Tomlin is refusing to eat his farmhouse as Wilbs accidentally took a slice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 18:54 LJ's replacement pizza has arrived and by way of apology it's an extra large family size. Looking at the challenge ahead LJ declares its a 'must win' battle and that he fully expects the players to support him in his endeavour. He then demolishes the first half of the pizza before dropping a slice, slipping on it while desperately tracking back to retrieve it, crashes down face first onto the changing room floor and emerges wearing the remainder of his pizza as a hat. Tomlin almost wets himself laughing while Mark Ashton sees it as an opportune moment to reveal to LJ his next list of new signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 20:05 LJ is home now. The Mrs has his slippers and glass of Shiraz ready as he settles himself in his lazy-boy to watch Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway on the sky plus. His new phone he bought in Currys on the way home bleeps. It's a message from Uncle Pete. Something about a taxi booked for him tomorrow from Lee's house to Failand. Lee wonders why he can't take the Mercedes but decides he can have a few more wines if he isn't driving tomorrow. An email comes through on the iPad. It's Steve, confirming he can have a few vinos tonight and he's sorted him a lift for tomorrow's training. Says he's going to need it. Also says don't look at OTIB. Mrs L had a look earlier and they've all lost the plot on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't excuse it but being as Lee is blatantly holding out for the pay off when he gets the sack it's not a surprise the fans are really angry. He seriously isn't helping himself by hanging on, waiting to be sacked, he should go to SL and agree a mutual termination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
