Every scribe who think they know the inside leg mesures of every manager and championship club in the land need to do there research. Its easy to swipe at us who had a relatively poor season and shower others with positive news that either went up or a "big club in a small pond". The predictible nature of journos is grating.

It would be nice to have got a couple through the door but I`m certainly not panicking yet. unfortunately there are some that see any player going to another club as `City missing out yet again` or `City slow out of the blocks as usual` without any evidence to support the idea that we were ever or ever would be interested in that player. I`ve just posted that Joe Garner`s gone to Ipswich and I suspect one or more replies will be along those lines despite the fact that he`s been consistently crap at championship level. There are others of course that just need their regular fix of `LJ is crap` and post something provocative just to get that response from others. Stockhausen tweeted ages ago that we'd be unlikely to see anyone announced until LJ got back from holiday, 2 days from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I was just making a general point that we have absolutely no need to panic. We get this every season with the `everyone else is signing players, why aren`t we?` despite it being complete nonsense. Half the time it`s just an excuse to have a dig at the club so sometimes I just wish we`d sign someone, anyone just to shut the prophets of doom up!

It's a really bizarre thing for people to mention their dislike for him (as a player) when they are criticising LJ (as a manager). When I read someone mention it as part of a criticism I just discredit the entire point as void, clearly the reasoning of the poster isn't very strong. And even then, I don't get the dislike for him as a player. 1. He tried his best (more than can be said of others over the years) 2. He loved (and loves) the club. 3. I still think that had he not got injured, we would have gone up automatically to the PL in 2008. So yes, he's not the greatest player we've ever had, but, as I say, I don't get the dislike.

Elruliri Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 If we pay the money and show them around Portishead marina I'm sure any player would sign.

Our form dropped when he was out injured for about the last 10 games of that season. He wasn't a world class player but was part of a well oiled cog that new what their position in the team should be. In the playoff defeat he covered Orr at right back.

Tinmans Love Child Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 If we pay the ££££ in fees and salaries we will get the players whoever is in charge, football is all about the money these days unfortunately, to sign for a club based on manager is a fools errand as chances are they will be sacked within months anyway so where does that leave you?

His points per game over 46 game would work out at 64.5 points. No half points, so 65. Good enough for 10th place in the season just gone. Here is the list of stats for the managers in the Championship http://www.managerstats.co.uk/championship/ Johnson comes out fairly well There are lies, damn lies and statistics! Edit addition. Dress it up any way you want. We avoided relegation by three points. IF, we had lost to Brighton,we would be in League One next season. It was that close.

LJ and ME were the mainstay in our midfield that season which almost got us promoted. They complimented each other quite well and for that reason I can see why people say LJ getting injured possibly affected our ability to get promoted automatically. either way,those were Gary's decisions, not LJ, so I'm not sure how that can be used in this argument.

The Coach Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Back to the original question, are we attractive? To lower league players I would imagine so. To players overseas and those in this nation who are well known of some kind, I would imagine not. You'd only have to look at our league position and style of play last season. Potential players can also ask players who have worked with LJ before and give honest feedback to them. So sadly no, I think with LJ we try to make ourselves out as "Oeufs et frites" which sounds dead fancy, but it's still just egg and chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 14 hours ago, tinman85 said: According to a tweet from Alan Nixon we are struggling with our summer transfer targets..I can't help but think it is because of the poor season we had and LJ's record and status. So we have a 2 page thread on one man's opinion. What is he basing :struggle: on? We are a few day's into the transfer window, is he attending every meeting, listening to every phone call? I would suggest that the kind of player we are looking at have all sorts of options to look at. They would probably have to do the a lot of searching on all those before making a decision. If there is a lack of enthusiasm amongst some of our foreign targets, it's probably because they have no idea about the club, let alone the management.
