Cidre Monita Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Some may not want to hear it, but LJ is a big turn off for players. He is well known now as "not having a clue" and that is one of the kinder comments. So SL , who is still indulging in his fantasy football, will pay through the nose to get anyone of note to the club. Of course there are a good number that want to leave too. He has signed 20 plus players and will need another 3 windows to sign another 20. We are not an attractive option for players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Marv in that final cost us big time. Anyway I doubt we will get to another one so there you go. My view is we are not attractive to players in the market because of the manager. Hopefully I'm proven wrong. It took us to a play off final you idiot in fact it was lack of him that cost us automatic promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City fan 1982 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Lj can talk the talk , interview well. And use technical jargon and comes across well , I'm sure Tammy thought I've heard of lee Johnson , his record at Oldham and Barnsley were amazing. !

Just another pile of s**t being spouted by a nobody. Again coming to Bristol city comes down to a few things. Wages and opportunity. Then small things like manager, stadium and location come into it. If anything we've recruited well just to not develop players as much as we could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Nixon is ITK in his region, and will only have a view on us if a player from up north is mooted as being our target. Outside of that he knows little to nowt about us. I'm not worried at all at the mo' by lack of signings. Some signings take a while, some require a domino (or spider web ) effect to get going. Johnson has said he wants to work with a smaller squad. We don't need to sell, but I suspect one or two will be on their way, once it becomes apparent that their squad status is not what they want it to be. I think Golbourne is one of those. Others, who will interest bigger clubs, whether you agree on how good they are or not, might start our own domino, e.g. Flint, Bryan, Tomlin. When are the players due back in training....another week? Euro u21s still in progress, that might delay possible loan deals. what I'm trying to say, is that it is very early in the season.....no panic....yet!

... Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 There is MASSIVE pressure on LJ in relation to signing a goal scorer. Credit to him (yes!) for Tammy last season. Tammy was the difference between us being in League 1 next season and being a Championship club. Can he do it again? He has to. tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously have heard it all now. I am not an LJ fan and never was when he played for us. But I hope he proves me wrong. Simply making observation. I think we will struggle this season. Sadly I fear you may be right on this, although I would dearly love to be proved wrong. Have I missed any announcements on Wilber ir hasn't there been any as yet ?

Garland-sweden Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Tammy scored many goals and we avoid relegation. As I understands it Tammy like City. LJ in charge? Think its ok, he is young, not long ago he was still playing. Think its more attraktive with a young manager vs an old. Wages, ambitions, new stadium, teammates is things that is more important than the manager I think. Sure LJ can speak for the Club and himself when he meet different targets of players. We will see what players are coming in. Think two, maybe 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm not LJ's biggest fan, although I supported him initially, but ultimately it all comes down to who we can bring in instead. I'm happy to give LJ 10 games, and until January to show that he's got what it takes at this level, but my main concern is who we get in. I've said countless times that it's the hiring process that is broken, not the man itself. LJ is the latest in a long line of Yes Men that follow the clubs "five pillars" ethos, and until the club realise that their financial prudence is damaging the club then we'll just replace one LJ with another. LJ has potential, but I'd hate to see him hounded out of Bristol City without really putting his stamp on the club. If he needs players, say publicly that he needs players. If the academy output is shit, say it publicly. Cotterill is one of few managers to leave Bristol City with his reputation intact, because he did what he thought was best.

Really no idea what you're on about Phil - as I said Kid and I have disagreed strongly on many things. The post Kid supported went some way to firming up some of my own feelings and misgivings about LJ which I had hoped were in at least part fanciful. I am now that much more convinced that they're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
