Mike B_arnes Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Anyone else heard this one? Talk of Ashton gate yesterday Lee Johnson assisted by Mark Ashton intent on Elliott not having the under 21's manager job. Went to the board this week telling them Elliott isn't commited enough to yhe job or LJ as a manager. Many of the board aren't convinced but Johnson is pressing ahead with a replacement already agreeing terms!? All very odd considering the club have been posting about Elliott all week and the 21's seem to be doing well under him with players breaking into the first team. Haven't read about it anywhere yet but source was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted May 26, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Would I be surprised - No, as it would mean LJ getting his choice of Manager in (assuming Wade isn't that person) Would I be disappointed - Yes, as it seems there is finally realisation that investment needs to be put into that level and Wade seems to be doing a lot of work in that aspect Hopefully just Chinese whispers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dihajh Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 This may be completely irrelevant but thought I'd add.. Yesterday I did see wade elliot coming out of a suit Tailors.. As I said could be irrelevant it perhaps getting a suit for other job interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a fantastic job as captain and interim manager with JP but he is the last of the SC appointments left and maybe LJ can't let that go?

'Orns Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 #wadeywatch Can we set up 24 hour surveillance please. A suit yesterday, if he's off for a haircut today then I'm getting worried..... As for the rumour, if LJ feels he's not committed to the job, or to him as his boss, then of course WE will be gone. Would be a shame, but life moves on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I like Wade but if LJ feels he's not the right man for the job then fair enough. One thing that's clear is that Johnson wants more young players getting developed and having a clear route to the first team, so if he feels that is more likely under a change of management then so be it.

None of us know what direct impact he had on those results. I'm not saying he didn't have one, but no one outside the playing staff really knows. Also, even if he did well in those roles - it doesn't make him necessarily the best man to be u21 manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm obviously speculating but he was brought in during a relegation battle, kept us up, captained a team to a league promotion and a trophy, coincidence maybe? And I don't think that it was a coincidence that when SC departed our youth players were given a chance to play in the first team? None of us know what goes on behind the scenes both at management and board level. Look at the appointment of Ashton even with his dubious credentials....

None of us know what goes on behind the scenes both at management and board level. Look at the appointment of Ashton even with his dubious credentials.... My point still stands - we don't know what tangible impact he had on results, he was second in command to Pemberton anyway. Him being captain is irrelevant to his ability as an u21 manager. Not really sure what's 'dubious' about Ashton's credentials - let's judge him over this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "dubious" bit about Ashton was he, apparently, didn't do a good job when he was there. And probably partly to do with us taking him from a league 2 side.

spudski Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 This wouldn't surprise me at all...I remember listening to a radio interview with Wade last year. He said he was learning on the job, found it tough, and said he was still undecided, as a career, as to whether it's a path he would still choose to follow in the future. No doubt he's liked, but whether he's got the skills required of an U21 development Coach for what we need now, is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
