Never to the dark side Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 If we had been playing Barnsley away,would Lee Johnson have been shown as A. Manager? Reminds me of the recent AFC Wimbledon game against MK Dons and in the programme did not even mention the MK Dons name. http://the72.co.uk/79160/barnsley-make-surprising-omission-in-sheffield-wednesday-match-report/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ took Barnsley on a record losing run, made their fans' football supporting lives miserable for months, bewildered them with endless selection, tactical and formation changes, annoyed them with his banal post match interviews while stubbornly refusing to change his ways or take any blame, and held on to his job for reasons they couldn't comprehend. I can't help but see one or two parallels with his time at AG and the feelings of many supporters here. I suspect many Barnsley fans viewed his unlikely appointment at Championship club Bristol City with similar incredulity to many of us at the time.

But you miss something Nogbad which is really rather significant... would we then care where he ends up? Imagine this; we go on a record losing run in the pre-xmas period but start to turn results around. In January a team struggling in the league above us want to bring him in. Would we go telling the other club how bad he is and stay on their forum 15 months after the move and regularly contribute in-between with "told you so's", would KD say he'd refuse to do business with him? I can actually give you a great example. Tony Pulis... he was a most unpopular manager, bewildering, beligerant, made us miserable with miserable football, banal interviews, stubbornly refused to change or play any decent football. We all to a man wanted him out. Portsmouth come and take him off our hands. Mint! Did we then go following Pompey's results, telling them what an arse he was etcetc etc. No. Ding dong the king was gone and that's all we bloody cared about. Of course there would be a few belters who would go to the rivals forum and slag off.. but visit, revisit and actually come on with I told you so's and maintaining regular contributions... all a bit sad if you ask me.

I think most football fans have an interest in former managers, yes, and, as you say, I've no doubt some City fans go on other clubs forums to give their views on what their new manager was like at City. Mostly, up until SC, not very favourable ones either. But in Barnsley's case, as I remember it, several posters gave an honest assessment of his time at Oakwell, warned us what was likely to occur here if he hadn't changed, and were met with some hostility by a few overly sensitive LJ defenders, which one or two reacted to. Many of us though didn't find much bitterness in their views but simply took note of what they were saying and were pleased to have their input. When events started to uncannily unfold in the ways they predicted at AG the alarm bells were certainly ringing and it was useful to be able to look back at their posts for comparison. It showed us that LJ had not learnt, or changed his ways, at all. I take on board your comparison with Pulis, but he at least had some managerial success to recommend him to Pompey, having taken Gillingham from the bottom of the football league to promotion, and only missing out to Man. City in the play off final for another one. I really can't see any club attempting to prise LJ away with his management record. Btw, I haven't seen many 'I told you so's' from Barnsley fans, and particularly not recently. I think they realised long ago most City fans were either in agreement with them, or didn't need any further reminder that their fears on our behalf had been proved justified long ago.
