Fordy62 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Just observations from today... One lapping up the well earned respect he deserved. Very fitting. The other, quite frankly embarrassingly bouncing up and down on stage like he'd achieved something. Now, the Cotts & LJ thing has been done to death - and I'm sure it'll be done some more here, but I think today's actions pretty much sum up my feelings about both. Heres to a summer of rest and hopefully an reignited passion for my football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I missed today but tell me you are joking? Was LJ really lapping it up like he'd achieved something??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yeah, but. 1. Was he asked to "bounce" ? 2. Was he bouncing and saying look, I've achieved something? 3. Who ******* cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought he'd have the sense to not do it. Matty Taylor didn't kiss the badge when asked, and quite rightly so if you ask me. So I don't see why LJ felt the need to bounce.

But I thought it was in bad taste where a degree of decorum would have been better suited. But then I found the whole awards thing a bit cringey to be honest.

Don't get me wrong I didn't particularly like SC and was glad when he left. That being said, he wouldn't have done any worse than LJ. Even if he had spent half of what LJ has.

Well it's not really is it? Our manager has danced around on stage with his boys club behind him and I think it's in bad taste. I don't think it's constant, needless or tedious.

Johnson Out. Under qualified? Guided us to 18th and 17th in the Championship now, so that's pretty standard for us. Him being under qualified hasn't been a problem so far. I know I won't change minds of the minority who have their minds made up and whinge every week even when things are going well. Johnson In.

I would thank Jonathan Kodjia and Tammy Abraham for 'guiding' us to those positions rather than the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
