Dynamite Red Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Looking at Barnsley's latest statement it would appear he is our new manager. Unless he has gambled and burnt every bridge with Barnsley he will be announced as our new head coach. I am hugely apprehensive but he will have my support. The board on the other hand are can stick there claims and ambitions where the sun doesn't shine. To many lies, and false hopes for me and if we go down this will be my last season as ST holder which I have held for 20 years. Good luck Lee, you will need it.

cidered abroad Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Glad I'm not the only one who feels like you do. At this moment, it is very unlikely that I will renew my ST after 66 years supporting. I really thought that after last season, we had turned into a proper football club but the season so far has been a complete shambles and this appointment is totally underwhelming.

BUTOR Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 He has to be backed, but it's a worrying sign when Barnsley fans are buzzing off their tits LJ is leaving. If we pinch a manger from another club then the opposition fans should be gutted, or something is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfieldred Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 lee Johnson returns to Otib, surely he already holds the record for most dissatisfied posts. Let's get behind him! Hopefully be singing 'Johnson is our King' again at some point. Cheer up we've had Sean o'driscoll as a manager at least lee is capable of smiling!

BCFC Jordan Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 As one of the most whiny posters on here, it makes a nice change to be the positive one. Still fear it might not happen but will be delighted to welcome Lee if he does come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I did post an apology on here after last seasons successes. Lets hope Johnson has the same kind of impact in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfieldred Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I think whoever takes over is onto a winner, as Johnson himself said we really don't look like a side in trouble since that terrible run before sc got the boot, and that was down to persisting with 3-5-2 long after everyone but sc knew it was a terrible mistake in this division. You can talk all you like about strikers not coming here but if we'd played 4-3-3 this season I know there would be no mmediate relegation worries. Our form since sc left. 1 win against top side, 1 unlucky loss away. I unlucky draw against 1 of the form teams in he division, that is not relegation form, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinreliant Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I still don't know why he would want to come here. Sorry but that is my take on this. If he does then I feel for him. He will be in a no win situation if he doesn't save us from relegation he will be a failure. If he saves us we still won't be convinced that he is good enough for us will we. I think he probably will want to stay at Barnsley and finish what he has started there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sadly there will be a minority who don't want him to succeed because of who he is. That's THEIR problem, not LJ's. But by expressing that vociferously at the ground (which they will do), only serves to exacerbate the problem they want to see. I was against Cotterill's appointment, but not once did I boo him or his team, not once did I threaten to stop following the club. Massive over reactions by a lot of posters. Yes, I get the "ambition" thing, and the "lied to by the club" thing, but there are many who are more than happy to pick up their "beat LJ" stick again. Unfairly. I hope they don't come to AG to poison the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Obi Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 What on earth will the pro Cotterell supporters say if LJ's side win more games between now and the end of the season than they're messiah did all season.......difficult eh? And what forbid. If he saves us from relegation? And the worst scenario, wait for it.......we play champagne free flowing football. It just doesn't bare thinking about. Lets all pray he is a huge failure......cos we wouldn't want to look stupid.....would we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Johnson can build on this solid foundation, find a goalscorer, and have a slice of luck, he may just keep us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has a great opportunity here. IF he keeps us up, he will find himself manager of a club with a 27k stadium, a squad of players with a year of 2nd tier experience and full season ahead to build on it. If he keeps us up he'll also have won some favour with the fans, at least for a little while. He's got a big three months ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember feeling pretty shit when we appointed mcwinless but thought no the club say he is up and coming lets give him a chance. With all the talk of premier league and "you will be surprised who wants to work for BCFC" talk I find it hard to believe that the best we can do is LJ, who up until 4 weeks ago was odds on for the sack at a struggling league 1 side. Like someone else has said when you nick a manager from another club the fans of that club should be up in arms not offering him lifts down to Bristol.
