I think it was a different game. The Neil Moss game might even have been a cup game.
It may well be a good option for him, academy and stadium to match club and obviously a club on the up. You could have said that about us a few of years ago.
Eddies on 2-3 million a year, they can't afford that.
I think Lansdown is in a different league than Max. They did things differently than us ,as in get the ground up to Premier league standard and then push for promotion. Hence sacking Johnson, they expected to be promoted this season.
Yes I agree he might feel he needs a rest but hasn't he just had one? It's amazing how much managers miss it, look at Warnock. I believe a lot of him staying would be what the clubs got planned for the future, if the club aren't going to finish the first phaze of the academy for example, would he even want to stay. I don't think he should be sacked but I'm beginning to think that it would be good for both parties if he were to go, he's just become too stubborn for me.
I think he would have to take a salary reduction if we got relegated, as I presume have all the players.
That's a bloody good point. We are all speculating that if we drop down he may walk but he may be as pissed off as some of us, especially if the training pitches look like they are going to stall. Without them I don't think that he'll see us as having any type of future.
I suppose that he may consider nurturing youth players into Premier league players as success. Lots of commentators are now kicking him whilst he is down and are telling all who want to listen that he is crap in the transfer market and that he can only work with players from the lower leagues as though this is a sin. It's the old argument of " he's never played at this level , he can't coach at this level " which we all know is bullshit .If the rumours are true that he wanted the training pitches above all else then it could become a tipping point.
We had the chance of winning cups, but we didn't take that seriously. Which reminds me that people say a good cup run jeapordises Premier League safety.
Was he told to just concentrate on staying in the league by Max as that’s where the money is ? Rather than trying for some silverware?
That would be like red rag to a bull for Eddie, I don't think Max has ever had any influence on team selection when he's been the manager.
Therein maybe lies part of the problem. Has Eddie had anyone that he would listen to who could tell him to get his head out of his **************** and take a different direction. If it's true that he runs the club from top to bottom it's a heavy load to bear for a relatively young man. If Max and Jeff have had the attitude of "don't question or upset Eddie ", they may have created their own monster.
