View from the Dolman Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 From OAFC: Obviously, he's lying though. He's not done anything in the last 10 years to prepare himself for management. He's just doing it because he's crap and noone wants him. Must be true. Nick J says its so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herman Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 "Can I get that ignition from their gut in a high-pressure situation? That is the challenge." :laugh:, what exactly is johnno planning?! an ignition from a gut in a high pressure situation? sounds more like what happens the morning after a dodgy curry and a few pints of guinness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Obviously, he's lying though. He's not done anything in the last 10 years to prepare himself for management. He's just doing it because he's crap and noone wants him. Must be true. Nick J says its so. Its my opinion based on the evidence, you obviously have a problem with my having an opinion. No manager bar one has ever wanted to give him more than a few games and then got rid. If you dont want to see that its up to you, I always said he'd drift down the leagues after the contract his dad gave him finished, and so it was proving - avoiding that by going into management isnt something many would have predicted, but hats off to him for pulling it off all the same. I have a feeling he'll be receiving a payoff before the end of next season. As for the "travelling the world to learn about football" quote, sounds very grand but I'd like to know how that comes about for a professional footballer whose season finishes towards the end of May and starts training again at the beginning of July. So far as I know there isnt much going on in the football world in June but stand to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Well done, Lee, and all the best. You never had a chance with some of the morons here. It was the same with "Shadow" Williams years ago - some people don't get subtlety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Dont be a fool. He's about to become a manager at 31, why would anyone do that, given that players are paid much more than managers. Coming to the end of a playing career and being paid for on the job training for his next career, pretty clever I would say, but as you are obviously privy to all of LJ's personal information, you know best of course.

Aizoon Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Could well be a success eventually but his stature (physically) will be his downfall I would guess. Would never command respect/authority up against some 6'3 League 2 meathead dumbass. That's right. Shankly was nine feet tall, as I recall...

Chivs Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Great for LJ. I wish him all the best because, whatever your prejudices, he was always a model pro for us. Does he have a son though? I'm just thinking of Oldham's midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 richard askam @richaskamUnderstand the initial recommendation of Lee Johnson to Oldham came from no less than Kenny Dalglish #latics #oafc #lfc The reporter for BBC somewhere up there... interesting! Wish Lee all the best; hope the Oldham fans get behind him. He's obviously impressed the board - it was their decision, not his to, to be appointed manager and therefore the least they can do is back him, even if they don't want to back the board (Corney or some'ink).

Enoch Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Good luck to him. Had his critics when he was here, mainy unfairly IMO, didn't help that his dad was the manager here. Sounds like an intelligent bloke and always had a good footballing head on him. As others have said must have been one hell of an interview!!

Taylor10 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Pleased for him to be honest. The quote from the Oldham website pretty much sums it all up for me. LJ was never a favourite of mine. I liked him as a person but, for me, he fell short as a player at championship level. However for all the rubbish we have seen at the club I can never fault LJ for being a fantastic pro and always giving everything he had for us. It's pretty evident the bloke wanted this badly and has done his homework and has been dedicated. Good luck to him I say. He deserves it. Also, fair play to Oldham for giving him a chance, rather than just going for the same old names and managers that have done the rounds. Good luck LJ.

Lew-T Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Good luck little Lee. Was never good enough for the Championship but he had a big part in our promotion and always gave his all when had the opportunity. Future City manager perhaps?

Pete1975Legend Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 He was a shit footballer and a bottler. I bet you think skuse is a world beater..... LJ was a great asset for us shame the fans got on his back, but through it all was totally professional and gave his all for us. Hope he comes back to us as manager one day after a successful spell at oldham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
