Think he will stay until end of season. Might as well start afresh next campaign

Still here! Apparently. But it's very noticeable that since Mjalby left,we have just got worse.Was he the driving force behind Lennon? It certainly seems that way!
hasn't this idea been statistically analysed on here - and shown to be, at best, unclear.... or am I mis-remembering summat?

I believe since he left he entered the Twilight zone.

Mjallby resigned in September 2015, seven months after we turned to ratshit.

Although we were good for a bit when he (and Lennon) first came, we were shit for longer.

Whoever did the analysis had it pretty close, about 10 games after he left. We've barely won a point since

Maybe Mjallby could have told Lennon to make his subs earlier or not to bring Dobbie on :conf: Basic advice but Lennon is lost without it.

In a Twitter conversation Iles has stated plainly that it would cost £650k to sack Lennon now (12months salary), but considerably less if we are relegated. I suspect given the financial situation and the unlikelihood now of anyone else keeping us up, that Lennon will be 'given a chance under the new owners'.
Which means certain relegation. Can't say I blame them, let's hope they allow at least a striker loan in though to give him that chance though.
Of course this is all moot if they fail the FL exam this week, which is about 50-50 in my considered opinion (don't believe anyone, haven't got a clue).

Lennon in the BN.
I certainly didn't see the club being in this position. When I took the job on, it was a case of: 'Keep us up and we will have a go at it next season.' We kept them up comfortably but the rest didn't materialise; I have had to cut, cut, cut the wage bill, sell players and not spend a penny. It does curb your enthusiasm because it wasn't how I expected the job to go.

I knew about the debt. I wish I had been told that the money coming in would stop. If I had known about the situation with the owner I would have had serious reservations about taking it on.

I knew there was a big debt but I knew it was the owner's debt and he was prepared to write it off. What I didn't know was that I wasn't going to be given the chance to invest in players and the squad, as I wanted to. And build, rather than have to demolish; that's all I have done – 19 players went out the door last summer. We cleared about £10m from the wage bill as well as bringing in £2.5m in fees.

There have been experiences that I don't really like. I wouldn't want other managers to experience a lot of those things.

I'm enjoying the challenge – that in itself is a motivation. And if we keep the team in this league, what a great achievement. If we stay up, people will appreciate all that a lot more than if we go down. That's the black and white of football.


I want the chance to rebuild because I haven't had a chance to build anything.
