Thread | Some sympathy for Lee O'Neill
at 16:52 1 Mar 2021
I suspect I will be alone in this, but I really do have sympathy for Lee O'Neill.
He is in an impossible position. He is the most senior, day-to-day executive at the club. In the absence of Evans, he has to come out and talk today.
But no doubt he has been given very clear guidance on what he can and cannot say - and he has been told he can't comment about any sale.
The party line is clear - we have had no formal offer (which may strictly speaking be true), and that any managerial change is not connected (which has to be self evident if you are going to say there is no deal). No doubt O'Neill (and Evans) would be bound by a fairly tight NDA or some other confidentiality provisions (these may by in LON's contract, if he is not close enough to the deal to be personally bound by NDA), in any case.
Personally, I wouldn't have said all the stuff which seems to be vaguely supportive of Lambert, but we also don't know how close Gill continues to be to Lambert and we need him (and Walker) continuing to work for the club and doing their all over the next match, two matches, however long it takes.
I'm not saying that LON isn't being paid handsomely to do what he is having to do at the moment. But it isn't easy and there isn't a lot more he can do for now, aside from keeping the club ticking over in the middle of a pretty critical period of the season. |

Thread | Will we get enough points this season?
at 10:53 3 Feb 2020
I was really down after Saturday. Terrible performance, which we need to improve on quickly - starting at Sunderland. It made me wonder about the points total we might need and whether we are likely to get anywhere near it.
Having looked through the matches we have to come, and having a stab at the points we might get, it is not beyond us to get something like 80 points given our run-in. And a recent estimate suggested that 79-82 could be enough for automatic promotion.
We currently have 48 points - and 32 is definitely possible from these games.
Of course, this means dramatically improving our home form - but we have the kinds of teams to play at home which could very well help us do this, especially in April.
What does anyone else think?
FEB - 10 points
Sunderland A - 0 points
AFC Wimbledon A - 3 points
Burton Albion H - 3 points
Oxford United H - 1 points
Blackpool A - 3 points
MARCH - 7 points
Fleetwood Town H - 3 points
Coventry City H - 1 points
Bristol Rovers A - 3 points
Portsmouth H - 0 points
APRIL - 12 points
Southend United H - 3 points
Bolton Wanderers H - 3 points
Shrewsbury Town A - 3 points
Rochdale H - 3 points
Doncaster Rovers A - 0 points
May - 3 points
MK Dons H - 3 points
