Phileas Fogg Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 JL interview on BCFC and transfer window.. hopefully it’s embedded properly https://twitter.com/bcfctweets/status/1011134395372244993?s=21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted June 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Ok link didn’t embed properly but you’ll get it if you click. Overall I felt he spoke well. A bit about the kit launch which he felt was a huge success. Most interesting bit was about transfers. Realistic about Bryan and Reid - basically they’ll be off if the right offer comes in. Sounds like we’re more hopeful of keeping Flint due to his contract but again if someone meets his price sounds like we’d listen. We can expect another arrival in the next few days. Sounds like Watkins is seen as a bit of a utility man and will bring experience, physicality and versatility. Thought it was interesting/revealing that JL did this instead of Ashton.. he’s far better to listen to. Speaks normally, no buzzwords or corporate speak. Was quite impressed actually despite criticising him in the past. Might be nothing.. but when showing a Reid montage they picked a goal from years back that features a certain Albert Adomah.. Nicely put together but please media team interviews like this are better without background music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that's a case they picked Reid and Bryan's first senior goals for the clips as well as one this year to show their progression. Thought it was a good interview myself, maybe not a natural infront of the camera but honest it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Didn't reveal anything new - I thought it was fairly ordinary "better show my face to the fans" interview. We've all known for ages that any of our players are a available at the right price. That's always been the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Got a feeling the one in the next few days could be Jack Marriott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 That tracky again. Phwoarrrr. All in all though came across alright. Liked the honesty with the Flint, Bobby and Bryan situation. Got a feeling we might end up keeping Flint. Music did my ******* nut in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there is some communication between the club and the fans, dammed if they do and dammed if they don’t sometimes. Of course he isn’t going to reveal transfer targets etc, there is a lot of work that goes on that we never see or hear about. I’ll hammer the club when they need it but this interview the tone was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I'm not sure it's okay to post anything about JL without slagging him off. Surely there must be something new he is at fault for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I realised that years ago. RR doesn't wind me up in the slightest, I actually find him quite amusing! I used to flay him on here but then decided to try and enjoy his windups! Difference is, this isn't a windup. Just him posting, saying basically nothing, for the sake of saying basically nothing.

David Brent Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I’ve been critical of JL in the past, perhaps unfairly, but thought he came across well. Better than MA certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply expressing my opinion on the JL interview. Yeah, it's different to yours but that's whats forums are for. I wasn't hammering your post at all.

Roadrunner Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Impressed by the way he came across. I believe in what he said was the truth. Which is a change from what we hear from the rest of senior management. But as they say action speaks loader than words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 A much better, balanced, and thoughtful interview than some of JL's past performances. Keep it up, especially when things are not going to plan on the pitch or with transfers. More of the same, please, during the season to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 JL spoke very well and seems to have more confidence than three or four years ago. Where is Mark Ashton? On holiday or being phased out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Musicworks Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 With the kit launch and now this I think that it’s a conscious decision to put Jon, front and centre, maybe part of a long-term strategy where he either steps up to be Chairman or maybe as MA is possibly gently eased out. It is refreshing not to hear the corporate speak and I think Jon who is already doing a lot of community engagement would be a good figurehead for the club going forward. Maybe Steve will be handing over the reigns sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
