reddogkev Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just a change from reading the CH thread over and over, but what next for LJ? Do you see him managing at Championship level again, or would he consider a drop back to League One? Any clubs you'd care to tip? I wouldn't be too surprised to see him end up in a (non management) coaching role at a Prem club (puts on the tin hat and a suit of armour, to boot).

Lrrr Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Pretty sure we had this exact thread a couple of weeks ago, you'll get a mixture of replies ranging from 'he'll easily get another go in the championship' to 'he'll have to drop to league 2 and be lucky to get another job in management he was that shite' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 He'll get q championship club, He turned two relegation sides into mid table sides in league one and the championship, Has a good record with player development and attracting young players And laid the foundations for Barnsley promotion and cup run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 He will definitely go back into management rather than coach. Unless Pep comes calling for an assistant. Done more than enough to manage elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 He will be out of work until 2024 when Jurgen Klopp steps down at Liverpool. They are impressed at how aroused he can make his players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Needs to choose his next club carefully. He's had 4.5 years of working in a stable environment with a supportive, loyal chairman and there aren't many clubs that can offer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 I think he'll be a mid-season appointment in say November when an established Championship side has a nightmare start to the campaign.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Wondered about Birmingham a couple of times. Hardly a stable environment but they appear to have missed out on Karanka..you'd have thought Hughton and Jokanovic may think twice. Wigan if Cook moves on due to their dire position?

IAmNick Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 What I think he'll do is hold out for a Championship club in a few months who have had a bad start to the season. What I think he should do is take a decent L1 club (think City a few years back) and try and get them promoted. My guess is he thinks he's a level above that now though and wouldn't go for it.

Sunderland would be an exciting job for anyone who can get them winning again. Potentially a very big club even in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awbb Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Difficult to say. From his personal development perspective, hopefully the one positive he gains from his dismissal is that he cannot afford to make, what appeared to me to be, the same mistakes repeatedly. The streaks. The way we played when getting beaten game in and game out all bore the same hallmarks. Lack of confidence in possession and passing and boneheaded individual errors (which I appreciate some feel were not Johnson's fault but my feeling is that they were a symptom of they way they were being managed). Whether that was because he felt that he wouldn't be removed from the position or his absolute conviction about what he was doing but their regularity spoke of him perhaps not learning lessons. After all, it's extremely unlikely that any other team would have given him the opportunity that City did. I suspect he might do well at a team with a tight budget but a decent existing playing staff. No or few transfers (particularly (The pro shop is closed)) but improve what you've got right here and now. I dunno, if Jake Buxton struggles at Burton, say. I reckon he could pull up some trees there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
