Leroy's next job

Any thoughts on what his next job should be?

Obviously has a number of skills, unfortunately football managment isn't one of them. Upside - talks a good game, able to impress the likes of Greg Dyke with his eloquence. Perfect for a role somewhere in the media or politics where presentation is everything. Downside - avoids responsibility when things go wrong, lack of passion, couldn't motivate a fox in a hen house.

How about regional co-ordinator for media information dissemination, equal opportunity furtherance and celebration of sporting diversity for the FA?

BC,

For once we're not a million miles apart in wanting results immediately but if he has been 5 games as muted in Chronicle is that because they are lining up a potential replacement and will need time?

If not I am concerned that it'll be a panic sacking without a solution, i.e. proven, available, within budget, manager who would give fans confidence that he could keeep us up with the same squad or alternatively guarantee that he could acquire better through his network without costing BFC anymore.

You may know but I don't believe this is the case?

This sort of stuff is puerile.

Fair`s fair and one thing you cannot lay at LR`s door is passing the buck. For honesty after games etc he has been refreshingly spot on.

Theres a difference between criticism and abuse, why go OTT?

:imwith: This is a very silly thread. I don't see any need for abuse. It lacks class.

Agreed PJ.

I have never met Leroy nor even heard him speak at BFC functions but from all accounts he is a patently decent man who no doubt is doing his best. He has made it clear that he knew quite a bit about the Brentford playing squad before he came and had done his homework for his interview. He must be devastated at the way things are turning out because lets face it if he doesn't make a fist of Brentford then his cv is not gonna be looking too pretty and it would be hard to see him getting another job in league football in the near future. I believe that he was unfairly "puffed up" by the BFC board upon his appointment but without having any details of Greg Dyke's Five Year Plan it is difficult to know and understand exactly what the BFC board would regard as a "result" for this season. That is would keeping us out of the bottom four for the best part of the season, ultimately avoiding relegation and getting to the second round of the FA Cup in line with the budget do it for them. Does anyone have any idea 'cos I don't and I'm an "investor".......and no I haven't bothered to ask. And what exactly has the BFC board been asked to and agreed to deliver to the holding company Bees United by the end of this season. What are the Bees United board's expectations from its board of directors of its BFC subsidiary.

Leroy was brought in after Turner, Sodje and Tabb had been sold and lets face it with the budget that he had even were these three now available on free transfers he wouldn't be able to sign them. He was reduced to looking at the "left-overs" by the time that he got the job but noone on here has suggested who was available, wanted to sign for Brentford but was turned away, signed for another club and is now a star. And no I was not inspired by the appointment of Leroy but fair's fair.......the abuse is now over the top.......it's not only the Team Manager who has failed us.

I can understand that if we had been told that finishing 20th in the league and getting past the first round in each cup competition was a reasonable "expectation" then that is not a winning recipe for selling loads of season tickets or attracting the attention of potential sponsors but given that the budget (even with its cash surplus of £300k from transfers fees over the budgeted "windfall" income) is probably shot to pieces then I'm not persuaded that Leroy is really doing a lot worse than the notables on the BFC board.

This reads to me as thinly disguised racism or stupidity. :( It's not only come from you but I can't sit here and read this nonsense without objecting. Leroy is black, he is our club manager. Get over it.

I take it you've already written to Brian Burgess for making capital out of Leroy's colour earlier this season then?

Who knows ?? But just read a post from a forest supporter on Beesotted about our performance or lack of it on saturday, his comments say it all.

I am amazed that you have not bothered to ask. The fact that you are not kept informed is diabolical and totally unprofessional and beyond belief. If I were in your position I would be banging their doors down threatening to withdraw the cash unless things changed. Maybe the amount of money you have lent, although substantial to the rest of us, is in proportion not a great deal to you so you are happy to let the club use it as you stay arms length. Only you could answer that. However judging by the passionate posts you place on this board you appear to be extremely concerned about the way the club is run let alone the playing side so I am surprised you do not direct some of these messages as correspondence to the likes of dyke to get some answers.

I am not you and I only go on what I read on here so I may be wide off the mark, but you are in a much stronger position to demand some action from the people running the club then probably anyone else but you can only do what you want to do to be fair.

That's fair enough.

Personally I have turned it in; I don't go to matches and haven't seen the Bees play since last February. I have never been in the boardroom or directors box (that's my decision but they are not my kind of people) and I just view the whole thing rather dispassionately now. The main point is that I have stuck it out as an avid Bees supporter since 1947 and strangely enough even in the darkest days there always seemed to be some hope. Now I have no hope and hence no expectations; there is nothing that I can do to improve anything (indeed the official response would probably be that there is nothing to improve and that everything is going swimmingly).

You perhaps miss the point of most of my posts which are self-indulgent but have always been written with a view to trying to get supporters to think a bit about where we have been heading. This goes back to my early anti-Noades days.
After I wrote on here several months ago that I had not heard a peep out of Bees United since my cheque cleared I had a little flurry mostly from Joe Bourke and a couple from Brian Burgess. It was clear that if I wanted any further information then I only had to ask for it but the point is that I don't care anymore. I have always been more interested in the off-the-field aspect of things and the corporate governance rather than commenting on the midfield or lack of one. However after Noades departure from the management of the club there is clearly not the same level of interest in how BU is owning the club and how the board of their subsidiary BFC is shaping up or indeed what it was asked to deliver. We were told by Greg Dyke that the BFC board has a Five Year Plan but I don't know anyone who even has a clue what is in it. I submitted two questions to Mr Dyke for his GPG interview which were :

1) When was Day One of the BFC Five Year Plan

2) Where according to the Five Year Plan are we expected to be both on and off the field at the end of Year One of the Plan.

They somehow were either not asked or got muddled up with many of the other questions.

You are quite right..........if I cared about my dosh then no doubt I could bowl down to Griffin Park and start tub-thumping but the reality is that I am not too bothered about the loan and have already advised Brian Burgess that I will roll it over in 2009 if that's what BU wants. It's been over for me now with Brentford since the "take-over".........I've got better things to do frankly although I'll always help them out with monies if it makes sense to me. When I post it is effectively for the two generations of Brentford fans behind me but frankly anything that I write just falls on mostly deaf ears or they are poorly written and people neither see nor get the point. I do not kid myself that I have any influence at all and my sojourns on the GPG are just time-fillers.

Fair enough. I am sure the people on here who know who you are and what you have done are grateful, but as you said, and this goes for me too, when you tune into the GPG all you see is a list of alter-egoes with silly names and nobody really knows who is who and what they stand for. So many opinions and so many different angles that it is not possible for 90% of the people to know who is right and who is just talking out their back side.
I don't know the solution!

You must be about the same age as my dad and it is impossible to get him to raise any interest in BFC nowadays and his dad was born in new road. Maybe it comes to us all in time:)
