Let's name names now...

[Nick Hester]

All those who slaughtered the few who criticised LR appointment..and abused those who dared show concern.. Lets see who you are?

What a sad sorry state of affairs we're in...

Ed, you can be first..

 

[hanworthbee]

there are still 4 teams worse off then us

 

[Billy Hunt]

Phew. Nothing to worry about then.

 

[wanderer paul]

i didn't slaughter anyone, but wanted to see what Leroy offered before 'jumping on the bandwagon' to get him kicked out.

After watching the last couple of months seeing the side go from a team which played football, but had its weaknesses, to a side totally lacking in direction, motivation, leadership and above all passion, i've now come onto the side of wanting Leroy out BEFORE christmas, (LIKE NOW!!) so the club doesn't lose touch with the teams above us. we're now 3 points off 18th for god sake. another few defeats and that will get bigger.

i apologise to those who criticised his appointment and should've listened to your concerns.

I'm not afraid to admit that I was wrong - Leroy has to go now.

 

[Brentford Bob]

While I agree with you Nick, it's probably not fair to do this, bearing in mind that we've just lost to the big boys in League 1.
I think we need to see how we fair in our next two home games before the "outing" begins.

Sod it - Chappers!

so if we beat Donny and then Crewe, Leroy's doing well.....................

i think its time for his goodbyes and the letter on GD's desk along with Mortimer's, Stannard's and sadly Griffin's.

who will take over and who will be capable to take on the job?

thats what really matters now.

 

[BUBSBEE]

No one is right OR wrong just yet......................(but by Christmas we will be wondering what all the fuss was about.)
l'm still with Leroy and the reds will start climbing division 1 again soon, in budget and so should the rest of you.

LR was not the manager I wanted when he was appointed, I gave him a chance like the rest of us...that chance has now finished!:sad:

 

[Sweepy]

We get rid of Leroy now, and the names you're all trying to show up will simply counter with the argument that we couldn't wait to boot Leroy out. However it is looking possible that Edmundo's promise to bring out the list of names when we survive may never be tested.

It's catch 22. Over the next 7 days, we could either beat Doncaster and progress into round 2, or lose a potential FA Cup windfall and on top of that have to pay three redundancy payments (Leroy, Griffin and Mortimer). It will be down to someone with more of a knowledge of the figures, but I propose that defeat next Saturday could cost in the region of £100k (assuming it is deemed to be the death knell for Leroy).

I feel that Doncaster at home is the pivotal game to determine Leroy's future, but maybe the tough decision is whether or not to sack him now, and hope that galvanises the squad for next week. Personally, I think to kick out Leroy after losing away at the runaway leaders would be a bit of a naughty decision by the board.

 

[Russell]

I hope like hell Edmundo can bring his list out at the end of the season and shame me and everyone else on it. I just don't think he'll get the chance.

 

[Simon C]

I think this is a bit unfair Nick. I don't remember anybody thinking he was the ideal candidate apart from Chapman. There were plenty of people shouting down the doubters (I was among them) but that was more to do with giving Leroy a fair chance than being convinced he was the right choice.

I remember quite a few....

I just wonder if they have changed their minds..

 

[Simon C]

Who?

 

[blunstone]

he is on a two year contract - i would be amazed if they sack him this season.

the poor sod arrived a month too late after most of the better free transfers had been snapped up; he had no transfer kitty; no decent pre-season friendlies to try out players against decent opposition - and he has tried to play football which is what most of us wanted in the MA days.

this campaign on the site won't help the players - or his - confidence.

 

[mhead bee]

i apologise to those who criticised his appointment and should've listened to your concerns.

I don't think you should apologise for wanting to see what he could do before screaming for his head.

He could have been good for all we knew.

 

[Brentford Bob]

He could have been good for all we knew.

But if we'd put on our sensible heads and looked at his track record, we'd have known that not to be the case.

 

[Simon C]

I can't agree that Leroy is blameless. The squad is dangerously unbalanced and we've suffered because of it. The mistake the board made was expecting us to build on the last 2 years when with the rebuilding job that was needed that was always unlikely.

True. However, what some of us have objected to is his appointment on the basis of his contacts "for getting loanees in" etc.

All we've seen is one bloke from Reading. Presumably Leroy didn't use his contacts when he didn't enquire about Anthony Stokes, an 18 yr old Arsenal striker.
Stokes went to play for Falkirk for a year and has just bagged his 9th goal in four games.

 

[Ace Face]

I wanted to give Leroy a fair chance and didn`t think the BFC Board were assigning us to certain relegation.

However the way Leroy has spent his meagre funds - we only have 2CMs, three very average strikers, three poor wingers and a donkey at the back on £2k a week for two years. Other clubs in our league with simlar finiancial clout have better squads and we can`t blame MAs blunders for this solely.

BFC has failed miserably in the loan market when we are crying out for at least three players to get us to safety.

My support for the coaches stopped when I saw them joking and pissing around with G Johnson at half time at home to Yeovil - we were losing 1-0 - a little thing but I care about BFC and it showed they didn`t in my eyes.

We can still stay up, but we need to find at least 6 figures sum to get rid of the coaching team, manager and listing, bribing, threatening, any thing, to get rid of the following CW, Brooker, Rhodes, Tomlin, Fitz.

I certainly see no point in attacking fans for hanging to some optomism when Leroy was appointed. To suggest/implyare not somehow "not proper" BEES fans and should our heads is well over the top.

I do think the BFC Board should act if we lose to Doncaster.

ps: I can`t imagine for 1 minute Lloyd is going to rush back and join a relegation fight.

Good post,

I wanted to give him a chance and wasn't expecting any real success but he has to keep us in league 1.

[brickie]

leroy has got to go,the board didn't give him a good kick start with money,but i feel he is to blame for the signing of CW,what has he done bar give us another bill!

 

[fencer/bee]

some had a pop at me ,when i said we will be the strongest team in the division,,, holding up all the rest.....and im affraid i still belive it will be the case... ..

Not true. BFC hasn't even tried in the loan market. :no:

I thought he got the same money as MA did?

.................I know I'm probably asking for the moon as these are not particularly honourable times, but these guys have got us into this situation, and I believe that they should fall on their swords, and not wait to be sacked........saving us some money into the bargain........they appear to have come with nothing....that is the way they should go.......IMHO

 

[Les Beeavinu]

My big fear if we get rid of leroy is that we'll go for somebody like Gerry Francis or some similar "has been". Whilst Leroy might not be the right answer, a young up an coming manager has got to be the way forward for Brentford. I know absolutely nothing about him but I know Rob Lee was on the list last time. He's got the right profile in the game at least.

Rob f$$king Lee!!!! please tell me your having a laugh! Profile? Explain please

It's been mentioned on here Leroy's lack of connections. I would have thought that somebody with 800 appearances plus a handful of England caps, desperate to get into management, might have picked up a bit along the way.

Am I missing something?

 

[Frustrated]

Theres only one Martin Allen

well said.

I would rather the results and the points than playing good football........ surely good football equals chances equals goals and winning points I liked Martin Allen always did and i miss him I would rather see hard work then a buch of fancy dans

FFS, I undertood that a large part of his getting the job in the first place was because of his connections.........

Am I missing something too.....?

I think we all have. Leroy doesn't seem very well connected to me.

 

[Edmundo]

This thread has wandered way off its original topic and drifted onto a topic well covered elsewhere. So I'm closing it. I am also surprised or is it just disappointed that anyone thinks infighting amongst Bees is the way forward.
