If he did that then he would be announcing to the football world that he was a failure. That would be a disaster to him for any future manager/coach job in football. The only way that LJ will leave is if Patrick tells him to. I see it no other way.
well look at it this way Marlon if he resigns he is admitting his failure... ok If he is sacked he could put up an argument that he could have turned around, that his young squad was still building and learning. That's what I am saying.
also if he did resign... then the club would not need to pay him off. If he is sacked they will have to pay him a sizeable sum of money. I just hope that LJ and the board are not engaging in some sort of Mexican stand off.... that would more or less ensure our demise.
