Ferdinand linked with new job

[Kit]

Don't get the anti SLF brigade. He came in in 2015 after the years of reckless spending. The club was saddled with debt, FFP dispute, weak and unhappy squad, no investment and infrastructure delays. While being overseen by a chairman who by his own admission had his pants pulled down after splashing out almost a quarter of a billion.
What really did people expect of SLF - expect to turn us around in 3 years to become the Barca of the Bush with an academy to match.
We havent spiralled into lower leagues like some massive clubs, we are generally plodding in the championship as we have done for the last 20 yrs and general harmony in the camp. Managers have come and gone but generally some understanding for why particular managers were chosen and then axed. It's not like we got JT in as player/manager.
Some will raise Warnock issue but the relationship was always strained after the inexplicable sacking for Hughes which inexplicably many fans supported. I just think SLF is the least of our problems and don't get the vitriol.

Says it all and there’s a reason they are eyeing him up because they have looked around and seem to think he has actually done a decent job. We all know mistakes have been made but we have not tumbled down like many others have and for a club with an average crowd of around 13k is an achievement in its self. I’m certainly not happy with inane performances like last Saturday or Tuesday night but some of the comments about les are just plain stupid.

Exactly. Also SLF didn't need to come to us. By all accounts he's very wealthy and even though probably getting a big salary from the club he could have easily got a job anywhere. He's well respected in the game, has international club experience and avoided the spiral downfall of many ex England players. Not saying he came to us for a favour as he's clearly well paid but there's clearly a mutual benefit of club/SLF.
Also he's arguably one of our greatest players of all time, some respect.me thinks.
Lastly, we've had posters on here wanting JT and anther thread praising the professionalism of Lampard. We seem to have more time for a Chelsea legend who said he will go to USA to end his career as he wouldn't play for another prem club and then turns up in a city shirt than our own SLF who's only crime i can see is to try to help us out.

Hope so it will do us a favour and save money.

100% this.
On Facebook this is being treated like a lottery win. People need to be very careful what they wish for.

Always looking to blame/point finger - owner/SLF/manager....

Dare I say it, but maybe things just aint that bad ATM. We're a midd table club, who has a half decent squad with young talented players. Plus a proven striker that most have wanted here for some time (Wells)... How about we give SM time to get a formula right instead of trying to race up the table or panic about relegation for once.

Nick Wells is an asset to the side but he ain't proving to be the striker , are you sure we can put our recent signings down to the dof last season and the season before we were signing young lower league players this season it's older higher league players or is it just that T F has stepped back ?

Who knows whos really behind signings and what conversations are going on between dof/owner/manager..... seems whenever theres nothing going right in terms of signings its purely down to LF. What about input of owner and manager?..... Now that bubbles the clown has stepped down and the last managers been replaced there are new ideas in terms of signings and how we are going to move forward as a club.

[FurtiveFox]

Would prefer SLF to stay. Walked into a car crash of a club and seen us through and still in the Championship. Managerial appointments questionable but Ollie down to Uncle by his own admission.

Coaching set up improved no end, quick improvement in players coming through which we have not seen in decades.

Particularly with all the background baggage was always going to take years to turn things around. Not perfect but personally think he has done good job in difficult circumstances.

[qprjeff1882]

I too think he's done a good job. A lot of people say that he does nothing. Well that is because he's more behind the scenes and getting on with it. People will always have issues with him but if you can't see the clear up he has clearly had a hand in then you're choosing not to see it. Regarding managers.... Absolutely no one knows when a manager comes in how it's going to turn out. This happens at every single club. Plenty of bigger clubs than us not had good luck with managers. And sometimes it mire than just the manager. Sometimes the club, everyone in it and its whole attitude stinks and needs clearing out. Which Les has tried hard to do from day one.

Don't think he had much to do with the clear up Jef the greedy bastuds squeezed every last penny waiting for their contracts to end , over the last 3.5 years we've had a lot of the parachute money wasted on a large amount of mainly dross coming and going
