BessexRED Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Article published this morning that Johnson’s a man in demand. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/776739/Fulham-West-Brom-Brighton-new-manager-Bristol-City-Lee-Johnson-EXCLUSIVE/amp He’d without a doubt tell West Brom and Fulham to do one, but let’s be fair whilst not a massive club Brighton would be a great club to work at. 3/4 years ahead of where we are. If they sacked Hughton and went for him then we wouldn’t be able to do much better than getting Hughton in ourselves.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 If Brighton sack Hughton then they’re a basket case and I hope they suffer 18 successive relegations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 On the subject of managers (possibly) leaving, the managerial merry-go-round etc Why were the Hull fans singing they want Adkins to stay? He's someone I've always had time for tbh. What's the story there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 @BessexRED Hope he stays here, but would be interested to see him at any of the three clubs you mention. I do wonder though whether the grass would be greener at any of those 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was posted elsewhere by a Hull fan; Yeah, but with Adkins maybe abandoning ship along with quite a few players, Bristol are in better shape out of the two of us. Rumour is that he might go to Middlesbrough this summer - can't say I blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 He would be crazy to leave........and IMHO, he has no intention of doing so. He is in a fantastic job, and is smart enough to know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishRed Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 It is actually quite simple - LJ expects significant investment this summer, witness his recent comments. IF, that is not forthcoming initially, then it’s quite useful to have ‘rumours’ around of other clubs being interested in him. That MAY influence the owners investment plans, if it doesn’t it’s then out in the market that LJ, MAY be tempted away. The HC is an ambitious bloke, and if he feels the clubs doesn’t match his ambitions then he could well be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_exile Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I'd hate to see him go as I'm of the firm belief he will continue to blossom and, given an extra couple of quid, could lead this club to giddy new heights. But... part of me would be happy for him to go if for no other reason than to finally shut the bloody moaning, whinging bellends you get online that are determined he has nothing to offer. It would be interesting to see what would happen should they get their wish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly sounds like a bloke about to say goodbye. Like to take this chance to say thanks to Lee and the job he has done. There were times when i had serious doubts like most, but the guy genuinely loves BCFC and has turned it right round. I'll be honest, I'd be gutted if he were to leave. Gutted.
