CyderInACan Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Looks like he's replaced Taylor then and presumably knows Ashton from his time at WBA? Scouting for Baggies and Brighton isn't a bad CV I guess, and presumably he "fits the club" unlike Des. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/lee-johnson-reveals-how-bristol-25435 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mervyn_Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redapple Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I met him when he was either playing or coaching at Leeds approx 20 years ago. My Leeds supporting mate was presented a signed football by him and he took the trouble to have a beer with us at h/t. Seemed a friendly guy and was puzzled that I'd gone all the way upto Elland Road from Bristol to watch Leeds/Fulham. City couldn't have had a fixture.

Must be true, it's in the Post. Lansdown suggested in the Radio Bristol interview last week that the departure of Taylor was a good deal more acrimonious than that of Pembridge.

Bristol Rob Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Can I be the first to write him off based on the fact he doesn't have a 'modern name'. I don't understand how someone with a more traditional name can possibly add to our seventy four pillars of success. I will boo; etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we didn't recruit Mervyn Hughes instead though - at least we'd be able to sledge the opposition decently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded to me as though Taylor wanted to scout good, but expensive players, whereas SL wants to buy cheap young players we can sell on at a profit after a year or two.

And Taylor probably saw signing Matty Taylor for £300k, parading him around the pitch and running an internal marketing campiaign around him as a bit cringe too. By all account he's working for Liverpool now. Highly doubt he was sacked, he'd have to deliver a hell of an interview to get sacked from Bristol City then get a job at Liverpool.
