Shtanley Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Fairly interesting, usual stuff. But what grabbed my attention was LJ hinting that he had a chance to go to another club but he stayed here and signed a new contract. He said it around the 10 minute mark. I appreciate that the contract extension seemed excessive at the time but perhaps if it was in order to keep him at the club then it makes more sense.

petehinton Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm really trying to like the guy more after the good end of the season, but his interviews just really grate on me now. A lot of talking without really saying very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joined a big club, three points more important. There are very few managers I enjoy listening to but big mick is my favourite. Modest bloke and doesn't try and over complicate everything.

Pickle Rick Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I'm sure he's told to tick a box and do the interview. Not watched it, but am confident I won't gain much by doing so. Just a two minute chat would be more 'watchable'. Wasn't it Villa who were supposedly interested in him earlier this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, what the "unbelievable things" were that went on during the "horrific run" or "patch" after losing to Brighton. I know, it's ridiculous to think that they might even consider telling us anything of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Dawe Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 37 minutes ago, JonDolman said: All managers say the bare minimum in interviews. I don't expect Johnson to be any different. If anything he probably gives more away in interviews than most managers. I found many interviews earlier in the season to be very insightful. Yes, all managers say the bare minimum about what goes wrong. "No manager would" say anymore. But why? And all football clubs and their Chief Execs the same. Why though; what are they afraid of?

CheddarReds Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Find it weird how one minute he's criticised for saying too much in interviews, then he gives a generic bland interview and gets criticised for saying nothing interesting!! Nothing really that interesting, wouldn't expect anything revolutionary. Let's hope he has learned those lessons, whatever they may be, and we can be more consistent next season.

Do they expect the interviewer to even be prompting him to do so? It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Wouldn't it bother people more if he said something decent each interview and contradicted himself. The club and LJ have said the same things since he's been here and shows they're on the same page. It's a good sign for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
