CotswoldRed Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Disagree, the manager is not responsible for the finances of a club or making profit on players etc. that is the job of the board. Lansdown wanted to buy instant success, GJ nearly managed it but not quite. Lansdown sanctioned it all. I agree regarding finances. My point is - a by-product of good management is you make good players better. So more valuable. If an expensive player becomes worthless then clearly the manager hasn't got the best from them and prospective buyers agree. And if you ignore value you'd at least expect them to leave to play in a comparable league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murraysrightplum Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Sell on value is irrelevant for managers (most anyway). They will look at a player and ask if they can contribute to the starting 11, unless it's a real youngster for the future. SL wanted premier league at all costs and very nearly got it. We are still recovering. I thought SOD was the man for a long term future, clearly the board disagreed and we are stuck with SC, who appears to not know his arse from his elbow and was at best a quick fix motivator (seems to have ended abruptly). 3 and a half year deal?! FFS, will this board ever learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Never mind picking a manager, the challenge will be to find anyone willing to take us on. players and managers health warning - Bristol City can seriously damage your career...

TinnionForEngland Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think the club started to slowly die the day Gary Johnson was sacked. Other than Cardiff Dragons and Crystal Palace at home last season I have witnessed nothing close to an enjoyable atmosphere down Ashton Gate since he departed.

Red-Robbo Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I would have to say that Oldham played the most attractive football I have seen this season. But are only just above us in the league.... Fair play to Lee though. Minimal budget and learning in the job etc. Lots of people who have been associated with the club get invited back as guests so I wouldn't read too much into it. As for Pete Johnson returning as coach - I'd rather have Holly Johnson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcott_red1 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Probably because we play Oldham Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 FOR THE LAST TIME - WHO WAS SIGNING OFF THE CHEQUES????????? Say these cheques had bought players who got us to the Premier League. It would have been viewed as a master stroke. Whose job was it to identify players to do so & motivate/coach them for the job...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Personally would rather not see GJ back at the Gate, he had his time a lot of success and left on a bad note in a sticky situation, as people say never go back and all. My personaly opinion re signings is that Johnson went to SL with who he wanted for the side, SL wanted GJ to have the players he wanted so signed off, both take some responsibility of course but feel it leans more towards Johnson as he highlighted and wanted those players where he could have signed different ones which SL would have signed off on.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think after the success of his father and the stick he got here would heap the pressure on a man who is ridiculously young and inexperienced as a manager. Good manager maybe, but not at BCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Don't do it! I don't want to come - not while the performances are as bad as the weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I don't want to come - not while the performances are as bad as the weather If the performance is poor, coming is not a prospect... Anyway, back on football, I think people might be getting a bit carried away with Lee Johnson based on seeing one tidy performance in their game against us.
