There maybe a vacancy at Burnley LJ maybe in a queue for any such vacancy Maybe Mark Hughes and about a hundred others maybe in the queue as well, if a vacancy occurs. Maybe he has talked with them, if so he`s probably far from finished as he can talk. So sorry more chance of Weston/Bournemouth beaches being empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can doubt them after that insight? you could say that was true, if you were stevie wonder. id love a manager with a real desire to win again, not just try and cope with the opposition and nick wins. when was the last time city outplayed anyone??

He is a fantastic Manager who out fought Jose Mourinho tactically in December 2017. Never falls out with any players and will win you the League in 5 years. Will improve your home form and will never blame the players for failure. Which League? Northern Premier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Interesting comment about LJ in a bewlow the line comment on Lancashire Live. Quote Johnson's teams play good football, no doubt about that but I don't think he's mature enough for the Premier League, he's too easily wound up by opposing managers, he completely lost it on the touchline against us because a decision went against him, Mowbray just played with him, we've taken 6 points off them this season. Past reputation maybe, style of play wise? The rest is quite interesting too, or a new angle anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 My goodness me some interesting posts here. We all have a view on LJ. Him going to a premier league team. Why ? What on earth has he achieved in the game. A fair non descriptive lower league player in his day, achieved nothing of note as a manager. Had the dream ticket here for five years and we are a fair to average championship side. He’s had support of perhaps best owner in English football and odds on we will be lower this season than last. Yes, he talks the talk but that where it ends. what premier league chairman would risk LJ and why. Sorry. Bull shite only goes so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor chap seems convinced LJ is the next messiah and little details like seeing the same old shit being served up on the pitch each week isn’t going to change his unshakable belief in LJ’s incredible football brain. His eyes obviously see something completely different from the rest of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely hilarious. Bournemouth breached FFP at a time it was less risky to do so. Brighton built up- they basically trebled attendances on promotion as they moved from Withdean to Amex- the timing couldn't have been much better! One didn't care about the rules at a time that punishment and ability to constrict was different, the other built up within trhem and overtook us- looking at 2011 to present, we've only really caught up off the pitch with Brighton in the last couple of years and that might only be Brighton at Championship level I mean- they had a huge latent fanbase, went from gates of 7k to 20k overnight basically. That provided a strong starting point. Might be worth looking at these factors too for a balanced perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was making the point really that clubs with equal or less support than us have done better and that we shouldn’t be settling for the tripe we are currently being served. I could of mentioned Brentford or Burnley or Watford even. my point is if people think Johnson is overachieving then that lack of ambition is exactly what is holding us back.

Burnley are a great example, thought of Watford as more of a yoyo club in modern times but true. Brentford are surely overachieving- not in terms of players and coaching which look excellent but resources. Purely personal view, certainly don't think he's overachieving- possibly in and around par IMO results wise and performance, well this is much below what we could achieve.

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 On the thread topic, I don't think there is anything in the story, at least with LJ but in general I find it is often quite instructive not so much to look at the publication but the journo. Matt Hughes I find to be quite credible. Was at the Times for a long while, worked his way up- certainly nothing like every story by any journo, will be right but he's pretty good from what I've read of him.

I hear Ashton is a bit of a knob, but he’s happy to work in that environment, because it’s safe. I think he’s in real danger of it going stale here, perhaps it already is?

We are 10th, 14 points from the relegation zone I am. 10th now, based on form; only on a downward trajectory. Its not unreasonable to assume that we may finish around 12th-15th. Hence the parallels with his father. Things might change after this weekend of course. Sheff Wed is such a key game now; as i cant see us getting anything at Forest. I admire your steadfast support of LJ in a way; and would like to think its genuine; rather than just a devils advocate clickbait. Time will tell.

Berkshire Red Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Please dear lord let this come off! I don't care whether he does go on to bigger things and manage a big club one day. I cant sit around watching this drivel while he learns on the job and continues to dish up this tripe! There seems to be an acceptance because hes one of the new guys, and has been praised in the media of late for being a future talent that he will come good one day and would be stupid to let him go. However, no one is saying we made a mistake letting Roy Hodgson leave and he went on to manage liverpool inter milan and England. He has an enormous squad, and one he has little clue what to do with. Cant imagine any of the players respect him and see very little evidence of the players playing for him. He may come good somewhere else but the damage he has done is too great to repair here. You've got a top table squad at the club, been given endless resources from the board and you've turned us into an established mid table team, playing dull football and looking a class below the lights of fulham and Leeds. Good luck in Burnley, now please leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look at Burnley’s forum last night and they’re just scared they could get Mark Hughes, but LJ isn’t getting a mention, so really don’t think he’s in the frame sadly.
