Dollymarie Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I think I love Lee following today's comment regarding Maynard. Quote LJ: "I know Nicky Maynard well. I know all about the comment he made when he left here, so I'll give him a kick for the #BristolCity fans." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Lee is very political isn't he? Lots of little ingratiating comments at the moment. Won't give a monkey's if he's successful, don't get me wrong, but hope he doesn't turn into Pardew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full quote was along the lines of "I'm close friends with Maynard, great player, had injury problems. Will be good to catch up" Then - smiling "I know what he said about Bristol city fans, I'll give him a kick in the ankle in the tunnel! I'm sure it was meant tongue in cheek".

BS4 on Tour... Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Getting PR right in the football world is so easy. I don't care if it was 'manufactured,' so to speak, but LJ popping into the Three Lions for a chat with the locals and now having a light hearted pop at Maynard is just great stuff. Very very easy to just do small things that will tell the fans that you are with them. Unfortunately our 'friend' Dopey from north of the river thinks PR means getting bolloxed and chanting shite in pubs whilst slagging off hardworking people from respected regional newspapers....sad.

There`s a world of difference between staying classy and knowing when less is more and just trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

1960maaan Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Easy little sound bites that start to get a support onside. Everyone does it , we all know and even expect it and yet (maybe grudgingly ) enjoy or like it. No different to being pictured holding a flag/scarf/shirt. And then , there may be a small chance that he actually means some of them. Probably the ones about his club and coming home rather than kicking Maynard, although we live in hope .

It's the sort of thing his father may have said in response too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lee had said he didn't want to talk about it some would say he could have come across as bitter. It's his first few weeks in charge and he's just trying to keep fans on side because, even though he is ex city, there are some city fans still hung up on it.

eardun Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I liked the comment too. It was a joke. LJ has a good sense of humour. It made me laugh. All good. Didn't see anything political in it; it's just how he is. Much prefer this to a dour manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpty Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 "He can't read and he can't write, but that don't seem to matter; Maynard's son's from the West Country and he can drive a tractor*" * albeit a small plastic one, given his tender years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southvillekiddy Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Still gutted I didn't get a "We'll never forget you Micky" T-shirt at the time. We definitely wound him up and put him off the last time he played against us. All is fair in love and football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
