chipdawg Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 There are some pathetically melodramatic reactions on here. LJ wouldn't be my first choice, but I guarantee we've had worse managers than him appointed in my 35 years as a Bristol City fan. I support the club, not the manager and if LJ is appointed he will have my support as head coach of the club. If the appointment of a a manager you don't particularly like causes you to stop supporting the club, then may I speak on behalf of the vast majority when I say "**** off and don't let the door hit you on your way out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 In our position, giving the job to LJ would be absolutely barmy. I just cannot understand why he would be considered when we are fighting for our Championship lives. His record as a rookie manager does nothing to suggest he would be suitable for us at this present moment. PLEASE JUST GIVE IT TO JOHN AND WADE!!!!

IT CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN !!! Bit of a rant ! But I think the points / concerns you raise are very valid They are my concerns - I might be wrong but they concern me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 He will still get the support from the fans but the club seems to lurch from **** up to another. The board say one thing then do another. Good luck to him but to suggest this is ambitious appoinent to challenge the best in this league is yet another load of tosh. He will be appointed because he fits the suits strategy of a yes man, like he is at Barnsley, we won't need to worry of the expense of changing the backroom staff and nothing ever changes in the running of this club.

RedM Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I've always liked Little Lee, but I'm not sure the fan base will accept him fully and support him as they would a total new comer. As much as I like him I think it's probably 3 or 4 years too early for him to come back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that's your opinion but I would of thought your passion would of gone deeper than this. It's a shame you're writing one young manager off based on watching him as a player, if the results are right and we stay up and do well will you return?

ScottishRed Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 How very depressing. Back to League 1 next year then. I would stop Barr's work on the new stand right now, it won't be required for a good few years. Not really surprised though, the day to day power at the club lies with Ashton and he would never bring in an experienced Championship manager. Always going to be a "yes" man.

Robin1988 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Smacks of 'this is the best we could do'. Cotterill got the chop because some people didn't like him, and now we're being exposed for a short-sighted button push. I'd love to be wrong, and we were collectively just as negative about Cotterill's appointment. But on the face of it LJ's League 1 experience could come in handy next season.

He kept Oldham up, he then had a bad start at Barnsley but has turned that around. For me that's ample experience, Moyes was never in a relegation battle, Monk was failing in his.

BCFC_Dan Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 My concern with this one is that it's too soon for him. Most successful managers, barring a few very exceptional ones, have experienced a failure at some point in their career and I'm worried that City will be Lee Johnson's failure. He's going to have a very good career but the expectation of City fans and the history he has with them is going to make the job harder than it should be. I can see him having a very difficult time, getting sacked, then learning from the experience and going on to be a huge success elsewhere. Of course, if we don't take the chance now then it's possible he'll go on and progress up the leagues until he's beyond what City can attain anyway.

ForeverRed Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 This is the same downbeat reaction as we had to Cott's appointment. He turned us around and took us forward.

In short, he did an above average job at one League 1 club for two years, and then an average job at another League 1 club for a year. And that's it. Is that the kind of appointment you make to keep a club in the Championship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Cannot explain how pathetic this appointment is.

I want to shoot down the idea that this would be a " cheap option " though . He is under contract to Barnsley and they will pushing for big compensation if he leaves them .
