Yes, but the big boys are not daft. While they can’t get it right every time when they make up a book they try to ensure the odds are heavily in their favour. If they don’t like the way the market is developing they will lay off to alter that market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Brighton WON'T appoint LJ. The only way Lee Johnson will manage in the Prem is if he gets promoted to the Prem. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think stable clubs at their level can hanker for better football but not when you are hanging on for gim death. You say that but a mate of mine who`s been a Saints STH for practically her entire life said to me recently that she`s getting sick of just trying to stay up every season with no chance of ever winning anything and would rather get relegated so she can start enjoying her football again. She`d like to have a chance of going toe to toe with the top sides in the division again with a chance of winning rather than just trying to finish fourth from bottom of a mini league of about eight clubs. I spoke to her after they beat Wolves which effectively made them safe for another year and said you must be pleased and she just said `yeah I suppose so`. I can see where she`s coming from TBH.

The very real problem with that is they might not end up fighting at the top end...... They may also find that getting out of this league is rather harder that she expected.

Fulham taken now by Parker, WBA almost taken with Michael Appleton waiting in the wings. Brighton, no way. LJ will still be regarded as a risk for many clubs. Seen by many as a potential top manager, he is still has too much to prove at this stage ie a few long runs of poor games, tinkering when not needed (on flanks) and not tinkering when needed (middle of the park) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that you`d like to think a club like Saints (who seem to be pretty well run compared to many) wouldn`t go into freefall and would be up there so I can see her point to a certain extent. After all, once you stop enjoying it, is there really any point in going? Many on here were saying earlier this season that, despite us grinding out 1-0s, they weren`t enjoying what they were watching - after all, it is supposed to be entertainment and I would prefer to be consistently challenging at the top playing entertaining football (even if we didn`t go up) rather than sticking eight behind the ball at home and trying not to lose.

I bet she was well pleased when they were relegated to league one. Sunderland fans must also be delighted visiting stadiums like the memorial ground instead of the Etihad.

But they did go into free fall all the way to league one? A long time ago in football terms and to compare the way Saints are run to Sunderland is not really comparable IMO. Anyway, I`m just passing on a conversation I had with a fellow football fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Well, it seems that Brighton, WBA, Fulham and now Swansea are all not interested in having LJ as their manager - perhaps we were under the radar after all! It looks like WBA are targeting Hughton or Cowley and LJ isn’t being mentioned at all in connection to the Swansea job - other ambitious clubs in our division don’t seem to rate him ....

To be fair there is no way on earth he would go to Swansea and they know it so it’s a non story there. As for the others fair enough. But For all we know though they could of enquired and were rebuffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the speculation followed that route such as the bookies. If he delivers a playoff spot next season then maybe he will be taken seriously by people who work in the game and employ football managers.
