richwwtk Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 If City really have to approach other managers whilst we still have a very much employed manager here, you would hope that they would at least be an improvement on the incumbent.

Honestly I think he is absolute turd. I would say I mean no disrepsect to lower league sides but one man can seriously make a difference - we bought O'Dowda... He'd need a lot more creds before even as a league one side I'd consider him. Not saying I would stick with LJ, but if his CV found my inbox I'd be making paper aeroplanes with it.

Thanks for replying Put my cards on the table , I spent a fair few hours and occasions in his company a few years back as he set out on his post playing career One of the nicest friendliest, funniest blokes I've ever met - Great company and totally genuine Thats all ok but as regards to his passion , and knowledge of football , both at a high level I promise. Ive seen him 'coach' a First Team and thought his sessions were really good The only thing I can't give an insight to is his day to day managerial capabilities / suitability as he was just setting out - My opinion of him is largely from personal experience together with his managerial record Would he be a good fit for us ? - As I've said , not so sure , I'd see him more as a 'traditional manager type' , a good motivator who wouldn't over complicate things tactically Not an obvious fit into our project but a proper football bloke , knowledgable , and a cracking fella in my experience and all I saw of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept all of that. But.. and the biggest but, I think his success at this level is not down to him but down to Frazier Campbell (see Tammy) or Jimmy Bullard. Personally I think he is as deficient as what we have in charge. He certainly is not someone I'd fire for at this juncture. I may be doing him a disservice but LJ could also be good company and talk a good game. I'd need a bigger draw to fire for than him right now. LJ would have lost his job by now if I'm making decisions, but if they were horses I'd feel my money was better backing LJ. .. the bloke thought he could sort out Nile Ranger for instance.

Phil Brown is not such an improvement. Well as a manager he's promoted Southend after taking them to the play offs two seasons running and he kept Hull City in the championship when they were looking like going down and then took them into the premier league the next season. He subsequently kept Hull in the top tier after their first season. And he was Sam Allardyce's number two when Bolton were promoted to the premier league - so he's very much an improvement - how can you say that isn't a better record than LJ's?!

ChippenhamRed Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I don't really want Phil Brown, but if we lose to Fulham and he was the only alternative to sticking with LJ, I think I'd take the chance on him. Only other thing I'd say is, if you'd started a thread back in early 2014 with the question "Should we approach Steve Cotterill?", I suspect the answers would be similar to those seen here.
