Surely better to get someone who's about to achieve something and its with us? But why would we ever consider him and want him to be 'within our reach'? With last season's success and the stadium rebuild we were really onto something here. Talk about coming to an abrupt halt. We should have identified three proven managers at this level and interviewed them thoroughly and offered the preferred one the salary he wants. Too many clubs offer average players loads and good managers not enough. Therefore they end up with overpaid average players and can't attract good managers. So they never progress. We are looking like we could be one of those. The manager is the one who should be looked after first and foremost - Pearson, Moyes or Warnock. Yep we don't know if they were actually approached and we don't know if they actually turned us down. But I think if we'd offered one of them the job at the start of November, paid them well and let them just get on and manage the club, we'd have been fine.

I am sure that opinion isn't in the slightest bit influenced by the fact that Gary Johnson happens to be his father! Of course not I think this is a progressive and, quite probably, inspired appointment if it pushes through. A young ambituious manager, an affinity to the Club, won't require much settling in, favours young player development, plays good football and has done astute transfer dealings within low budget.

bcfcnick Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Only issue for me with LJ is the (very) bad beard syndrome. Perhaps young managers think it adds authority but it didn't do Roy Keane any managerial success favours and Eddie Howe has coped pretty well without one.

Mikey1972 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Surely this is a joke. If Lansdown appoints LJ we get just another average manager, it was only recently that he managed to get Barnsley winning after a awful run in League 1, yes League 1 and believe it was 12 games without a win and here we sit at the foot of the table awaiting relegation. Looking at his stats he's managed 156 won only 56 games, drew 45 and lost 53, yes Mr Average. What is the point of investing all that money into revamping Ashton Gate when you are out of the Championship, this bloke will not be the one to save us from playing rovers next season! Gary Monk would get my vote but like normal, no good manager wants to come to City............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he just won the JPT and got promotion from L1 for example? His stock could possibly increase after this season. People are just so hung up on Lee Johnson the ex City player, views are being severely blinkered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for us fence sitters who don't like to undermine a manager before he's even picked a team and to the same extent don't want to give unwavering support before he's even been interviewed need a box to tick.

Roe Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Don't have a view either way at this point to be honest. I'd quite like him because he has a history/fondness with the club and I always tend to prefer up and coming managers than ones who are one job from retirement or are only here because it's a job. I understand why there are concerns (although I don't understand why there's yet more moaning and toy throwing by fans) but ultimately if the club feel he's the best candidate then I'll support him; you know what with being a supporter and all.
