RedM Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 The meeting was at one of their homes last night says Gary. All sounding very amicable. SL says they are good friends as well as manager and chairman. SL says they haven't spoke to anyone about managers job, but there are lots of rumours around that he has.

Club and Country Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 when do you ever see a manager who has left beside the chairman giving a press conference? This press conference shows how far we have come. Johnson seems very amicable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Millen in charge for as long as needed untill we find a new man, search will start after today.. (Dont believe that, im sure there are a few SL already has in mind.) Why the hell is GJ at the press conference tho?! Strange.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric04 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 SL asked if what "happened" at Plymouth was a factor. He says it was a football decision. No one has been approached to take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Searching questions about the other night from GT... Purely footballing reasons though. There will be some that will question that anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 SL says search will start after today, millen incharge for forseeable future. GJ says he has enjoyed his time here, disappointed to be leaving. Says his biggest regret is not winning the play off final, would have liked to manage in the prem. He says he is open to offers and looking for a new challenge. Both agreed time for a move for the good of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskay Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 twentyman asking if it was purely football related or did something happen the other night. SL said purely footballing reasons. SL - no-one in mind, they have not spoken to anyone SL - Thanks for getting us close to prem SL - no timeplan on new appointment, search starts after today. GT - you have been the most popular manager for some time. GJ - last couple of months very difficult, high expectations etc. PLayers worked hard to get club where it is. Didn't feel enough players were getting credit for where they are. GT - biggest regret GJ - Play-off final GT - What you going to do now. GJ - Looking forward to next challenge (jokes about being suited & booted), available now. GT - Thanks from radio bristol & fans etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Only City could have their (ex)manager attend his own leaving by "mutual consent" press conference. It's one of the most perverse things I've ever heard. The choice of participants and their tone makes it blindingly obvious this wasn't a planned and willing decision based on footballing matters from either. If two actors had to play the role of a chairman and a manager, both of whom have had a parting of ways forced upon them, they'd have sounded like that.

iWurzel Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Just fired off the following to Radio Gas: Your coverage of the press conference at Ashton Gate this morning was an absolute travesty. As soon as your correspondent had asked his questions you turned immediately off of it, despite the fact that half of the football supporting population of Bristol had a massive interest in the events of the press conference, not just your questions. Absolutely disgraceful, you should be supporting the community that you serve by covering an event of this magnitude in its entirety, rather than shamelessly self-publicising by only airing your own questions. Disgusting attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Exactly what I thought, they made it sound like neither of them wanted this but they had no choice, whatever the reason Yes, thats how I saw it too. If there was a way of making it work I think they would have. I don't think either of them were happy, Gary isn't our concern now but SteveL is, I'm now worrying again. Also Gary said in the conference that he wanted to take us up into the PL to manage there and get a chance to spend some of the PL money, not the Chairmans. Was he saying that he has spent quite a bit of Sl's money and maybe a hint of guilt that he hadn't spent it as wisely as he should? Maybe he had been told that? Maybe I'm reading too much into things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red panda Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 ridiculous SL would be in trouble if he said there was a replacement lined up. A few matches with Millen in charge is a small price to pay if it gives SL time to make the right permanent appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
