Coppello Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 30 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?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stokes7 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 And the Gary Johnson involvement makes sense I mean doesn't anyone find it strange that we signed an unknown player for so say u23s yet the same day he went to cheltenham and has been a first teamed for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 5 minutes ago, BS4 on Tour... said: Neither Burns or Ayling played under Gary, they first played for us years after he'd gone... Wrong. Burns was on loan at Cheltenham when LJ was there, Ayling played under him at Yeovil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Well, one thing is for sure, as with all things BCFC, in the fullness of time, we will still have no ******* idea what the truth is, so we can have fun speculating on this one for years to come!

In fact, the truth is worse than what is said in the OP. Good to see the truth beginning to come out. And again mate, reference our texts earlier this week, unless you know something I don't, Cotterril, as Wes's dad seems to think also, has his flaws but I get the impression is fundamentally a decent, loyal, straightforward, what you see is what you get, bloke.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 At least we can all agree on one thing though- Ayling was a popular player on OTIB and always rated good enough at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule The Waves Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 There is one of our main sponsors who are also (and have been for a long time) one of the main sponsors at Yeovil. The guy who owns said company is very close to the hierarchy and players at Yeovil, and again has been for a long time. When GJ was sacked, the guy who owns said company was saying straight away that LJ would be our manager at some point in the future. I do genuinely start to wonder what the connection is between SL and the Johnson family, because something is clearly not as it seems there.

Think he has followed through on many occassions. Thats why he doesn't walk around the technical area during a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT's Vaseline Tub Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Ayling was sold as LJ didn't rate him; nothing to do with Cheltenham races as Pack would have suffered the same fate. His Dad didn't rate him at Yeovil so Cotts picked up a gem and probably Championship RB of the year if you ask Leeds fans. Just goes to show how petty LJ is and he favoured Matthews who eventually saw through him and told him so in front of the AG faithful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastonboy Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 If the message was from Wes' dad, then I'm sure that it was meant to be of a private nature. if he wanted it in the public domain, he would have posted it himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... Well he did say that Jimmy had the football knowledge of an 18 year old…basically none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do genuinely start to wonder what the connection is between SL and the Johnson family, because something is clearly not as it seems there. Depending on your view point, it's either: "Jobs for the boys" or - "employing someone you trust" That's not an unusual thing in life at any level. If I have a mate who is good at electrics and I trust him, i'll get him round if I need some electrics done, simple? SL has said many times he wants to get people into the club around him who he trusts. I don't think there is anything suspicious about that at all. The fact that he very much looks to have put his trust in the wrong person this time this irrelevant. He had a vision for the club which LJ buys into and SL trusts him to stick by it, after being stung by Coppell and alleged incidents with Dawe/Cotterill. Clearly LJ's performance was not part of the plan though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference with Wes is that most wanted him to be the player he never became yet on the infrequent times he was given the chance - he didn't take them.
