Phileas Fogg Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 5 minutes ago, Spud55 said: And could indeed that not have been the point the JP was making? rather than being a dig at LJ it could have just been a comment that there are comparatively very few managers that can handle players like Tomlin? Warnock may be one of them, but Tarrabt's career has continued to go down the toilet since he left QPR so it's not as if Warnock stopped the trend in his career. Even then Tomlin is simply not good enough to be a maverick, you can get away with it if you are a class above anything at your level, but he isn't he's a good Championship player but he's not bloody Ronaldo, hence the reason every manager he's had has bombed him out. I think the very public way it was delivered made it pretty clear it was a dig at LJ. Pemberton could've said it privately - he's definitely got his personal number - but he chose to say it publicly on a platform lots of City fans will see. Comes across as a bit classless and bitter in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judgement - and recruitment - is the issue. And over-confidence. And.... And attempting to please the crowd, we all saw/participated in the cry for his signing in the last match of his loan spell. Maybe the Management and the Board felt they would be accused of a lack of ambition if they failed to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't one of the 'rumours' regarding Pembo's departure that he had a fall out with Tomlin (had him up against the dressing room wall by the throat) Seems odd he would then choose to publicly back Tomlin as a dig at LJ?

I've still got that, but spell check works wonders, but I'm glad that little dig lets you feel like a big man, *****, I haven't always worked for a "train company" I've worked in construction as well, but working for a train company you still have to tender, manage contracts and projects like you do in other industries, you still have project managers commercial managers, graduates apprentices, You still have meetings you still have a payroll you still have a works department you still have a procurement department, You still have an on call you still have a programme manager you still have a planner etc etc, You still get people giving power point presentations You must of missed it when I've stated that I don't want Johnson in charge as well as I don't think he is good enough, but am giving him 10 games this season as its a new season new slate, Or maybe its because I don't post it in every single thread that I don't want him here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being facetious, I have no doubt that a slick excuse would have been conjured. But the point remains that had we turned down the opportunity to sign him, half the posters on here would have had an aneurysm (possibly including me!) It just really pisses me off when grown men being paid thousands of pounds a week are excused behaving like utter pricks and spoilt children just because they're a "maverick".
