Bs4Red Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Was there any reason behind the club not choosing to announce LJ over the tannoy today prior to the game? The first manager in my time I can remember that didn't get one... Brilliant win though, buzzing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Probably worried that any announcement would be drowned out by the booming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Just getting on with the game I should think. Not wanting to distract from the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I was surprised he wasn't announced but maybe he didn't want that . Can't remember if Corts was announced. Focus on the game maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted February 15, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Interesting as new signings always get announced when their name is read out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten minutes of rough Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 No fuss from him, wants to focus on the job in hand I suspect, hence the expression he adopted all match, not 100% like his Dad then... like Lee always have done, hope he does well as City Head Coach.

I don't think there was one manager who was the first choice for many, you will never please all the fans with a managerial appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought too, but it was a bit of a shame at the same time. Maybe not a massive 'Here's your new manager, let's get right behind him'type announcement but surely a 'welcome back to Ashton Gate' announcement returning players get would have been nice. i honestly expect Lee asked for it to be low key though. He has already described himself as Marmite and knows actions are needed to win some fans over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSheds Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yes i think it was strange not to announce the new coach, maybe I had missed it but no mention of the new man in charge. Are the board worried or did not want any booing before a big game. PS I would not boo, we have to get behind lee and the team if we are going to stay up.
