Luxo Jr. Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Not been on here in ages, imagine this thread comes up once a week, here's mine - had been a Johnson supporter all the way through the blips of previous seasons, but the combination of a terrible run of results and really horrible football means I'm now ready to look towards a Bristol City without LJ. But with who? I'm personally not up for having a slew of managers that aim for short-term success. A Warnock, a Pulis or, god help us, a Pardew would make me dread our future. So please suggest who you'd pick (reasonable suggestions only) to succeed Johnson and keep the club building on the principles LJ started out with - giving youth a chance, shopping smart and bringing a good football identity, rather than reactionary tactics. I have no suggestions, hence why I wasn't up for sacking him until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 There seems to be a lot of options at the moment. I would also be tempted to additionally look at Germany either Dieter Hecking or Dirk Schuster, see if there is a feeling that either of them fancy a challenge.

Just look at Sheff Utd and Chris Wilder, all it takes a great man manager to turn an average team. Basham, Baldock, Stevens, Fleck, Clarke, Sharp were hardly stars until he came along and gave them an identity and belief.

The person they appointed is in charge of tens of millions of pounds, they wont think twice about signing a contract for a player on a £1m a year contract, so why not do the same for arguably, the most important person at the club??

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Would not mind Jokanovic at all! Paul Cook suddenly looks quite likely to be available after recent events- surely must be quite high up the list. Those would be my immediate two that spring to mind though in whatever order.

Basham, Baldock, Stevens, Fleck, Clarke, Sharp were hardly stars until he came along and gave them an identity and belief. Having a top manager is better than signing one top player imo I’m not disagreeing with that, but the financials in football and Rugby are on different levels. The names mentioned (Dyche, Howe etc) are international or successful prem/top level coaches. They’ll come both with a staff that has a sizeable wage bill and also want financial backing (For example look at the respective signings of squad players Solanke and Gibson at Bournemouth/Burnley). So they aren’t happening. Where I totally agree is that a Wilder type would be great - but when Sheff Utd got him he was Northampton manager and not fresh out of the prem. As I’ve said before, the closest thing there is Paul Cook and if you offered him now I’d snap your arm off. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
