Also, how stupid would he have to be to go to a club that he knows would sack him if he is losing games and underachieving after 8 months or so? Not to mention those lovable fans who like a little sing-song from time to time "Your football is (not very good) your football is " etc etc Johnson to Stoke is non-starter from any angle you care to look at it.

Taking over from a hated manager, stock of the team is very low, squad full of quality, only way is up for anyone taking them on. They can also afford to pay very good wages and have chute payments for 2 more seasons. I think if they come calling with the right deal he will go. There is more chance of you and I being the new management team at Stoke than LJ. Firstly I would not think for a second he would be interested - they may offer him more £ but I doubt that would influence him and even if they did SL would match it. The job will go to someone like Moyes who will stabilise them and hopefully - in their eyes - make them challengers next season , if they don't he will be gone too. LJ has the perfect job here, at least for the moment - an owner who is a personal friend and no 'real' pressure unless we are flirting with relegation. That could change if the owner is looking for year on year progress, if he is, then he is going to have to 'go' for it at some point and then the pressure could build. Also, lets be factual here, LJ has been in charge of slightly over 300 games, so not inexperienced, but has achieved zero, unless you count avoiding relegation. That is not a CV that is going to attract a club desperate to get back to the PL - they tried that with Rowett and he has departed, they wont try the same approach again.

He is far from prepared for a job of that complexity, and knows he would be daft to jump ship from his safe job at City. One day maybe, when he has achieved something, but never now. He is still learning his job. (much as I would be happy for him to leave, but as I say, he is not that stupid) Plus he couldnt handle the big star names at Stoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(much as I would be happy for him to leave, but as I say, he is not that stupid) Funny how from time to time he gets associated with moves, as others see his quality and potential. And our fans think he can't handle big names...based on what? Inside info...fly on a changing room wall? Or talk from a fans forum? Think we do him a disservice on this forum sometimes. He's following the Clubs remit...which compared to other Clubs is different in many ways. Give him free hand and more money....who knows. People talk of other managers that could do better...but how many of them have worked under SL's remit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He Didn’t win anything, got a few top 4’s, big deal, under achieved IMO. His last success was Preston promoted nearly 20 years ago You don’t think finishing in the top 4 of the premier league more than once is a decent achievement when he wasn’t at one of the so-called big six clubs?

Lrrr Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Would people really want Moyes if he weren't former City?

Ashtonwurzel Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 There is absolutely no chance that LJ would want to go to Stoke. He knows full well he would not get the same patience and support there. Doing a great job with us and he is central to the "project" - IMO.

If he’d kept a smaller club like us in that position then yes, great achievement, but at that time there weren’t the so called big six clubs, it was Man Utd and Arsenal, also Everton are a big club, 9 league wins, 5 FA Cups, European Cup win in the 80’s which was a double by the way with League, and when Moyes took over they had actually won the league more recently than Man Utd had when Fergie took over and more recently than Liverpool had when Klopp took over, just to give some context.

And Everton have never won the European Cup as you say above...perhaps you misread their Wiki page. Not sure how comparing Everton, when Moyes took over, with Man Utd and Liverpool, when they recruited Fergie and Klopp, is relevant? And, as you say, “just to give some context” - Moyes won as much at Everton as Klopp has so far won at Liverpool...wonder which club had the greater resources and budgets? David Moyes did a great job as Everton boss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
