Phileas Fogg Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 He might well have done, it’s not an absurd suggestion. He’s done well improving players and selling them on. He’s networked pretty extensively during his career. Wouldn’t surprise me if a bigger team - in this country or abroad - wanted him as a coach or as part of the youth set up.

We all know he likes visiting different clubs and he knows how to get on with people in the game. I imagine he has had many offers, but i’m not sure many of them (if any) would be for the lead role, most likely as part of a backroom staff.

Yes, for the doubters, before kick off when we had a chance to go third, I still wanted him to go. This post sums up the fickle numpties that frequent this board..... Simple solution for you.....

Iv’e heard Webster and Kelly mentioned, but Webster was a class act when he came here, he then played with better players than he had at Ipswich. Brighton had loads of cash to spend and took him from us. Kelly, was coached by the Academy coaches to get to the level he was at, LJ hardly played him. LJ has gambled with signing players over a 4 year period, sometimes they come off, sometimes not. There is no plan, it’s signing players for the sake of it, iit should be all about having a plan and signing players to fit into that plan. I would say that with the players he has bought in and the money he has spent, he is failing miserably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that but I judge him by what he does, not what he says...and last night's shambles tells you much of what you need to know about Lee Johnson. Can't imagine many clubs looked at that and though 'ooh, maybe Lee could do that for us!' What sort of man would big himself up on tv saying he’s had offers from other clubs, surely you’d keep that to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, actually, that I feel LJ is not the man to take us further forward. I see no plan for how we play or set up. The players being signed don’t seem to fit any clear plan. How can you really fit Palmer, Eliasson and Wells into a team that will have any defensive strength, given that we’re apparently a counter-attacking team reliant on a strong defence? A few good results won’t make me waver and it isn’t personal, I strongly defended LJ during his first long run of defeats a couple of years ago, when this place was toxic. Over time, I’ve come to the conclusion that he, or his coaching staff, just aren’t up to it. There’s no real experience or quality amongst that side of the team. Add a coach with Prem experience, either as a player or coach and it might be a good first step. At the moment we have no coach who’s “been there and done it”.

There’s legit criticism you can make of LJ but I find some of the posts a bit strange. He’s been the coach for 4 years, a number of players have improved under him but some think there are other reasons. I just don’t buy the idea that a head coach has had to be circumvented or been such a negative influence that other coaches have managed to improve players despite him.

J-mat Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Been quiet whilst we were winning. One loss and out of the woodwork they all come. Saboteurs more than supporters. A stain on our club. Honestly, when we go up under Lee, and we will eventually. I hope not one of you gets even a sniff of enjoyment out of it.
