Frenchay Red Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 1 minute ago, Chairman Mao said: Some of it may be bullshit, the Engvall and ODowda stuff, they have looked decent since coming in (though the wage story I can believe) But the rest, I think it may be vaguely right. Clearly LJ is a cancer to the club and best removed. I heard it months ago, long before the atrocious run began, that Engvall was not rated at all and not up to the required standard. This was from a senior member of the coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin101 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Sorry but if this is Wes Burns' dad then I'd be feckin furious is if I was Wes. Clearly just bitter about O'Dowda coming in and replacing. Also engvall has looked decent in the admittedly very few times we've seen him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear God, please let this happen one day 13 minutes ago, Fordy62 said: I think we can all agree that this is either; (a) Wes's dad, or (b) Someone who wants us to believe he's Wes's dad. Now, a lot of what's written is very very close to things I've been told by a very good source - not Mr Burns I might add! When you take that with the fact that he was openly not a fan of LJ and the fact that it'd be quite an obscure hoax, I'd be more than happy to sign a certificate of authenticity to say that this was indeed more than likely written by Mr Burns himself. I suppose the only unanswered question is 'Is Steve Lansdown Lee Johnson's god father?' If Plod says he'd sign it, who are we to argue? I don't investigate stuff for a living. Seems legit to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's best post overtakes yesterday's pea brain best post which was that LJ bought Taylor purely as a distraction for the fans .Today's best being that SL wants us to be relegated cos the club gets £30million for going down and then £40 million for going back up. Meanwhile, I've heard that SL is working for Putin, taking management lessons in North Korea and that Ashton Gate was actually secretly rebuilt as a Spaceship purely for the purpose of ensuring Ivor, Bullbag and Little Bennie Ultra are sent into outer space . I can only hope it's all true. But just cos I imagined it and made it all up AND posted it on OTIB means it's FACT. you are not far from the truth but its only the upper Lansdown that's the spaceship and I believe all three have been invited there for the next home game please don't tell them. nafc.

bh_red Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Not convinced by all of it but...certain bits appear bang on the money. Comments about Cotterill appear spot on and match up with everything we've ever heard about him, especially the players loving him. Lee Johnson - well he's also had that reputation of being a C you next Tuesday personally, I've always found him personally to be a very unlikeable person. O'Dowda - there was surprise from Oxford about him and what we paid. We all know that. Engvall - he'll be gone in the summer without a doubt, the whole saga with him is suspect, the player, the transfer fee, (still can't believe £2m+...) the amount of money that has ended up with agents, the whole thing just stinks. The rest...hmmmmm undecided, some sounds legit, some sounds shit. I do know that anything ever involving Johnsons ends in tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Unfortunately a lot of that sounds believable, and that's a gut feeling, not any ITK rubbish. The one bit I find a bit hard to take in is, would LJ would really tell players they are crap because his dad doesn't rate them?!! Is he really that amateur and pathetic? If so, that alone is grounds for instant dismissal if I was SL - listening to the views on our players of a manager from a league two club...

Toffee dog Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Feel there may well be an element of truth to this, have had doubts for a little while listening to LJs snippets in the press but kept convincing my self that I knew bugger all because I did not work for BCFC. Just makes me more & more concerned., you do not speak to players/staff like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent, finally someone who knows LJ personally....so, do tell, how do you know him? And you've obviously spent a lot of time in his company, so what makes him so 'unlikeable'??
