Natasha Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 While I think the Megson appointment is ridiculous, what really gets my goat is the 2.5 year contract they've offered him. FFS, sign him up until the end of the season and see what happens....you know....like proper clubs do. Fat Garty out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules_darby Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 After taking the new appointment in... I feel a bit like I've been sent on a blind date by a mate with his bird's sister and I'm really disappointed with the way the wench looks (not just cos she's ginger) - especially as I was promised "I wouldn't be disappointed". I knew me mate was full of sh?te and the other lads warned me, but I thought because there was something in it for him, he'd sort me out with someone decent. Anyway, after the initial disappointment I'm gonna have a few beers and see if things improve. Even if they don't, I'll give her a bang and see how she rides... Oh and I just hope nobody sees me with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White79 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) As ever, Gartside is aware of fan devotion and knows that he can rely on 15,000 come what may. Exactly, Gartside knows there are 000's of devoted fans who he can rely on because they will follow the club no matter what happens on or off the pitch. Some would call it exploitation Edited October 25, 2007 by White79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some would call it exploitation Tell you summat cocker, 15,000 will be a big crowd if we're struggling in the championship Our fan base can and will shrivel rapidly if we start to struggle It happened just 25 years ago So if Gartside thinks like that he's badly, badly mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Jackson Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) I feel this appointment was a chance to save us from relegation, cheer up the fans and prove to the fans/players/world ... that the club has ambition [ not just say it ] As Meatloaf once famously nearly said 0 out of 3 ain't good Edited October 25, 2007 by Arnold Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he's in now - may as well support him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stelios05 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 This was a perfect time for Gartside to get the fans imagination back with a high profile manager but instead he has pissed the fans off, and the attendances will start to dwindle very quickly if results do not start to improve.i still dont understand how a manager will the credentials of Megson could even be considered to manage a premiership club who is still in europe.It's totally baffling and really annoying.The club never seem to have money for transfer funds but they somehow find ?300,000 compo and a ?2.5m contract for a manager nobody wants. GARTSIDE OUT NOW!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 read the leicester sites , if there happy about him going what does that tell you !!! one win in 7 league games for leicester COULD BE THE GRETEST MASTER OF ALL TIME or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stelios05 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 read the leicester sites , if there happy about him going what does that tell you !!! one win in 7 league games for leicester Exactly,his record is awful.nearly every club he has been at all have bad things to say about him. I dont understand what C.V gartside was looking a when he offered Megson the job,he must have been reading Mourinho's C.V on the internet at the time. I must add that it is not Megsons fault he got the job because it was Gartside who approached him and for Megson it is a job he couldn't turn down,so all my anger and fustration is aimed at clueless Gartside.

skin Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Quote from BBC today: Possibly the most bizarre and clueless appointment this season. Quote from BBC before Megson was appointed Leicester job: Not Megson... please Milan no!!! Makes me think LCFC will be chuffed to bits with this. Gartside has lost it. Souness probably turned us down as he wasn't going to be given more than 10 bob to spend on new players. Time for wholesale changes at the club, not just the Chairman but time to sell out to some Russian Billionaire, mind you I'd be happy with Anthony Axfords buying us at the moment.

geordieboy Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 feel sorry for you lot. sourmess turning you down and megson as the new gaffer in a week, thats pretty shit. you never know though, he may just turn your ship around, i think you needed new idea's, as i reckon little sam was trying to copy big sam in many ways, and was doing it badly, so at least its a total fresh start? good luck anyway, although i dont like what your chairman said about allardyce and little sam being the brains etc (he looks pretty daft now anyway) and thought it was sad and bitter (i also dont think big sam left you the right way for the record), i wouldnt want to see you go down. as i say, good luck, hoie he turns you round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravellingWanderer Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Not at all impressed, but I have to agree it is not Megson's fault, and I think we should give him 10 games, I doubt it will make much difference but 3 more points would put us mid table so a couple of decent results will put us in a better looking position, and hopefully increase confidence. Hopefully people will support him and the players and save their protests about Gartside to outside the stadium or at least after the game. I seem to remember Gartside saying in the past that he would leave when Allardyce did, maybe he should have stuck to his word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trotter58 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 i reckon little sam was trying to copy big sam in many ways, and was doing it badly, so at least its a total fresh start? Wrong. Sammy Lee tried to change too much, too quickly that's why he failed. If he'd tried to 'copy' Allardyce he might still be in a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
