As a side note, if we were Europe within 5 years, what would Burnley be? First club team to win the World Cup within 5 years? Burnley in the World Cup ?/? Us in Europe yes a possibility in 5 years.

The floor behind his desk was also raised about 300 mill so his normal stock standard office chair would not make him inferior when he sat in it. he likes playing golf too, not sure though if he called it golf or mini golf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 3 hours ago, BRISTOL86 said: I speak to lots of other football fans through work etc and the general consensus when we sacked Johnson was one of shock. Unless you watch us week in, week out, as we do, he’s seen as someone who took us from relegation fodder to almost good enough for the top six. His stock is still pretty high outside of Bristol IMO and will definitely be in contention for Championship jobs that come up for sure, but like you I would be surprised if Burnley were seriously interested. Very true. The number of pundits I hear say things like “he plays a high press and plays through the thirds” does my head in. We played that way for about 5 months, 2 years ago.

Yep, and that's what most people outside of Bristol think of as it's probably the last time they watched us play, and think we have been playing like that ever since!

I have to admit though I have always been an advocate of knocking him down and criticizing him especially as a player. He s a good coach at the correct level and where ever he ends up I wish him all the best. Certainly is a league 4, well that's what the Gas called it !

Port Said Red Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Strangely this is the second time in two days that I have seen something alluding to their being a Managers job at Burnley.

That’s my worry with someone like Alex Neil too. Some of our fans point to Preston’s league finishes above us, and the fact they’ve had the beating of us over the last few years. That needs to be balanced by the opinions of the fans who see his football every week and it seems like Preston fans hate it and it’s easy to see why. Preston imho play some of the nastiest, most cynical football we’ve seen down the Gate in recent years (with the possible exceptions of Colin’s teams). So as you say, we can safely assume that the pundits and other fans have seen far less of LJ’s football than we have, so we should always remember that the views of other fans about their own managers carries equal weight.

Coombsy Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Bristol City manager lined up for Premier League job as Burnley boss eyes exit - report Johnson has been with the Robins since February 2016 but is reportedly on a shortlist of candidates to replace Dyche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritAbroad Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 I saw this thread, and wondered if I'd missed something. I know Dyche is unhappy there, but I think he'll stay. The Burnley board know that they'll probably go down without him so won't fire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Med/MadHatter Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 As I said jokingly said when Sean Dyche was supposedly looking to leave Burnley what seems like months ago.

Replace him with the "call a spade something other than a spade" grass-measuring, drone-flying, box-entering 21st century coaching seer LJ. But Dyche is digging his ginger heels in ....

I usually got to around 10-15 and trust me over the 4 years there have been many abysmal away days. We can all appreciate the good work LJ did over the 4 years but he’s not beyond criticism let’s not forget that. As long as it’s constructive there can surely be no issue? What are we meant to do?

We have had some good away days under LJ don’t get me wrong but when the home form & performances have been so poor for so long surely we have a right to praise and criticise?
