Guest Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I would just like to say Lee will show his true worth if he ever gets to be a prem manager............................................................ (I say this in the hope that The Burnley board cast their eyes over this forum) He will also need a few hundred million to buy "a few players" and a new tombola as it seems his is broken.

City_USA Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Would be best for all concerned IMO. Lee is a decent bloke but has taken us as far as possible, almost there but not quite. I think that he's frustrated and run out of ideas and the players see that and don't go that extra mile for him. Even JM and Deano steering the ship for the remaining games could be a big enough change to see us over the line to get to the playoffs, after that, who knows what could happen. Typically when that situation arises, teams "go back to basics". There's enough talent in our squad that given licence to just "go out and play your game" may see a change in fortune. This may be the only way that SL makes a change, being forced to do so if LJ walks because we've all seen how reluctant he's been to make the move himself. Only hope that he's prepared to make the bold move to appoint a strong character to replace because that's what these players need. Too bad Colin has been snapped up already....tin hat on time :laugh:. All IMO of course. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 This would be like birthday and Christmas. Sadly the only place the Johnson to Burnley conversation has taken place is in LJ’s head. Do we think they’d really appoint a manager without watching his team play football. Of course not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishreds Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 The source Lee Johnson; self proclaimed 'brightest young manager'. Burnley: Lee had a tough upbringing in the Newmarket Bronx, he has access to the SAS and other world class schools of learning, excellent Microsoft 365 skills (Corridor of Uncertainty slide 46), a cliche for every post match interview, you won't be disappointed.

Midlands Robin Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Dyche has done a great job with Burnley but may feel he's gone as far as he can. They were dreadful at the start of the season before finding some form to pull themselves back up the table. According to their local rag he only named 7 substitutes, two of whom were goalkeepers, out of a possible 9 spots on the bench. Sounds a bit like the Cotts situation. The Burnley rag reported if Dyche did leave then Villa could be a destination while Mark Hughes was speculated as a replacement. At the bottom of the article it also mentioned LJs name had been speculated about in the Daily Mail story. It's one of those "nothing to see here" type stories most likely seeded by Dyche himself or one of his people to up the pressure on the club to provide more transfer funds. If it fails, Dyche walks away with his reputation intact as the clubs chairman looks like the bad guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NcnsBcfc Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 To me this Burnley stuff is symptomatic of the cult of LJ. He's lauded as one the finest coaches outside the Prem, blah blah blah in all the media and on sky. But despite the resources available to him, he's achieved nothing of any note at all. If I was a Thomas Frank, Alex Neill, Biesla, or even Neil Harris. I'd be thinking the myth of LJ. If I had at my disposal, what he's had. City at the very least would have been in the play offs over the last few years. When they play us, they must be expecting some masterclass. But all they get is a confused muddle of a team. In certain circles he obviously talks the talk, and that gets him through. I've no doubt however other managers, consider him a bit of a fraud though in terms of his so called ability and achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
