Abingdon Red Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 If you believe the bookies then Warnock, Pearce, Appleton and LJ have all been appointed in the last 3 weeks. Given the negativity that greeted Cotterill's appointment maybe it's better off having someone who may surprise us all rather than up expectations too much. I don't really understand people who'd have Pembo over LJ, one's got management experience and has improved the clubs he's been at (including guiding a team to safety), the other has coaching experience but is untested in management.

Personally its good to see that so many fans have a view and a lot have done a lot of digging on respective candidates and then pass this on. Johnson being a case in point. Johnson won't be manager / head coach so pointless thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Harry is spot on with lee, lj was coaching our youth teams while he was a player here getting his badges early, people rated o'driscal because of what Brendon Rogers said about him, well guess what he says the same about lee Johnson, When he brought his Barnsley team to Ashton hate last season they completely out played us for 80 odd minutes and almost got 3 points if it wasn't for a late equaliser by Bryan, he has good tactical awareness and changes things that aren't working and is always willing to learn, the outrage when cotts was brought in as manager had similar comments and look how well he did in his first full season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalRed Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Nothing against Lee Johnson, actually backed his dad and didn't want him to leave but LJ has hardly any experience and none in this league, it would be as big as gamble as Valencia took hiring Gary Neville and 7-0 would be hard to take right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the question....son's who managed at same club as fathers? Yep, when I posted Clough and Clough at Derby surely you didn't think Nige played for Brian there?! For a start Nigel never played for Derby and when his dad was manager at the Baseball Gd Nige was one year old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I would rather have LJ than Monk without a doubt. I wouldn't be against LJ at all. There are some people who don't want him simply because they disliked him as a player which is pretty silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't happy with him as a player but my main point is we sacked a manager who had more experience that Johnson and I thought we were looking to the premier league. How on earth can the management think that a division one manager can do that? Perhaps I am missing something! It stinks of cheapest option.

ScottishRed Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 L J is nowhere near ready to take us to safety ( I don't think Monk would either) we need experience even if it is just until the summer. Relegation would put this club back 5 years , we MUST stay in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you can make yourself favourite with a 10k bet I will give you your 10k back plus a tenner for your hassle Wahey! So if someone on here places a £10k bet on themselves you'll give them their money back plus a tenner straightaway?! Cool! Are you a bookie? If not, if 10 people on here take you up on your offer you'll shell out £100,000 plus another £100 on top? Sounds sensible.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
