It's for the board of directors to decide to sack a manager, for what ever reason they didn't. Considering you've done well since he left, I find it hard to understand the hatred. Life goes on pal! Northern bitterness I'm afraid, they do seem to have cornered the market on being miserable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a manager in charge who wasn't doing very well (as Johnson clearly wasn't, they keep telling us and they couldn't wait to get rid of him), and was approached by say Preston. Said manager comes out and says , I used to play for Preston, got business interests there, family live in the area and have a genuine affection for Preston. What's wrong with that? Especially as they've gone on to be successful since he left! I would understand it if he was doing well, they didn't want him to leave and it all turned to shit when he did leave. But none of the above is applicable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks, with all the in fighting on here we'd be non league within 3 years, now if we put the Barnsley fan base in charge we'd be in Europe in 3 year, ee by gum.

#TeamsLikeBarnsley Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 3 hours ago, ChippenhamRed said: Direct questions to you @allegrif. 1. You dislike LJ because you're annoyed he wasn't sacked when he "should have been". Is that LJ's fault, or your chairman? Does the subsequent turnaround actually prove the chairman right? 2. Let's assume for one minute that LJ did change the team due to fan pressure (highly dubious, see above). Doesn't he deserve credit for having the humility and flexibility to change his opinion, and a willingness to lose face, for the benefit of the team? Or would you have preferred an inflexible approach and continued poor form? (we have recent experience of this). 3. Imagine yourself as manager of, say, Yeovil Town. You've been on a bad run but you've recovered it and your team is playing well. But you have no particular affinity to the club. Then you are approached for the Barnsley job. You love Barnsley, you played for them, you enjoyed living there, you see great potential to do well there. What do you do? I look forward to hearing from you. Good post. Johnson left because it was Bristol City, for ambition, financial and family reasons. I think most right-minded Barnsley fans accept that. But at the same time, I can understand why many feel a bit pissed about it, and I'm sure that if Lee succeeds at AG and an Arsenal or whatever come calling you'll see myriad posts on here slamming him. Such is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also flattered that you consider Barnsley to Bristol City to be equivalent to Bristol City to Arsenal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Dawe Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 It's funny how Barnsley fans like to criticise LJ for taking so long to make the changes they could all see needed making and were loudly calling for (2 up top or whatever it was). Meanwhile, we were criticising Cotts last year for persisting with the 352 thing and saying on here (which I am convinced he looked at) it needed changing, which Cotts never did. Maybe it takes a "strong" and secure man to make a change all the fans can see and have said needs changing when he - the man in charge - is supposed to be the expert and "know" things that us lot don't know.

finbarr_in_z Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I was getting messages from a Barnsley supporting mate throughout the game about us being diving, cheating schemers. I really wondered what game they were watching. It seemed to me that both teams were playing exactly the same type of football from both a skill & physicality point of view. Everything about it seemed even, and the stats & results pointed to that once I'd seen them today. Even the ref was even - weak regarding both teams. Barnsley really seem to have a bee in their bonnet about us. Odd. Still, onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
