Has he gone yet?

[DaveP67 is back!]

If not why not!

[Leicesterbaggie]

A very good question. However, I don't think that he will go because of all the financial implications it would mean for Lai. I hope that he does go, and should go, but as I say unfortunately I don't think so. Sincerely hope that I am wrong.

The implications for Lai is getting more serious for him each day.
Consider this.....small parachute payment at the end of this season...then I think thats it...He is reputed to have paid around £150 Million for the club a few years back. He wont get near that now. And if no promotion....he is seriously stuck.....
I think he has an offer on the table to muse over presently.....but it it time limited.....and it could mean selling at a big loss....but if he gambles and holds on ...hoping for promotion...it could back fire.....either way, China is cracking down on over seas investments...and time is running out for Lai...to make a decision....

I’m guessing it will be more likely tomorrow. Who would of thought we would consider sacking a coach on deadline day.
But he has to go ,getting nasty now.Boing Boing Steve Bruce’s blu & white army…I wonder.

I’m not sure Bruce will get the job.

I think Lai will wait until Dean Smith gets sacked by Norwich.

I mean, if you’re going to do a job well you might as well go the whole hog.

Valerie aint gonna change his style so therefore the manager as to change. The beginning of the season we were a team of marauders all over the pitch, in the face of the opposition, scoring goals for fun Then Stoke and Fulham came along worked us out and we haven't been the same since. Those early games showed it was possible for us to play a very high up attacking style.

Doubt O'Shea's injury proved a difference. So what changed? Something is happening behind the scenes. Maybe Valerie is a dead mon walking and it's feeding through to the players. Their displays in the last 3 games which includes Pboro have been shocking. Cannot see how Valerie can now get a response out of em, time now for someone else to have go.

Definitely think its about selling the club behind the scenes.....Lai is under pressure now to sell and will have to.....I think his gamble to make available some money for Dyke has now failed and it brings his attention to focus on "an offer"
His question is....does he hang on and hope we get promoted and help him recoup some of his investment or does he sell (for a substantial loss) and just get out for good........
