Admin Phantom Posted September 26, 2017 Admin Posted September 26, 2017 Don't normally go home by car but did tonight, seriously question the sanity of a caller, some guy called in from stockwood called city fans "nutters" if they still doubted Lee Johnson, then declared that Lee would be manager of England..... WTF is in the water up there?

Fair play to the presenter though, he told the guy it is the nature of football when the team is losing... and i heard him say "did he look like an England manager middle of last season?" :laugh:

Heard it too, while admiring his optimism the fact that he kept banging on how anyone who doubted LJ was a nutter, regardless of the abysmal run we went on last season leads me to believe he had one too electric lemonades to many.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Oh dear. I'm not sure who is the most ridiculous- the old idiots who won't give LJ a chance and think he can't do right for wrong or the new idiots who suddenly think he's the Messiah. He's potentially a very good Manager for BCFC but has a long way to travel and achieving something beyond staying up is necessary at some point. So far so good but still no cigar.

CotswoldRed Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 10 games and an impressive run. Too early to get carried away or to castigate others. No England manager was ever identified after bringing a second tier team to 7th place in September.

I like LJ but he won't gain favour with the doubters until he achieves something with his squad of players. Play offs, promotion or a cup final will only be good enough for some. I think achieving a top 10 finish would satisfy most tbh

To be fair, Southgate was fourth in the Championship when Middlesbrough sacked him, so on that basis LJ's only two points away...

petehinton Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Someone tell me how Ed Hadwin (I think....well whoever was presenting tonight) is still employed by Radio bris. Can barely listen whenever he's on air, every second word is 'umm' or 'uhhh' followed by a few stammering before actually saying a word

WTF is in the water up there? Interestingly, and only because the odds should be very attractive, I'd be very interested to know what bookies are offering on LJ to be England manager at some stage. Thats not me getting carried away, at all! But there aren't many young English managers around. IF he got us to the prem and IF we did ok, then he'd be just the kind of option that the FA might go for. At some point. Especially as he's still so young.
REDOXO Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 John from Stockwood is pretty familiar post match, but I was taken aback tonight. He was obviously higher than a kite on something, either the mighty reds or sherry. Still LJ doubters got a bashing (me included) from our 70year veteran. Anyone with that under his belt earned the right to sound a bit nuts on Radio Briz in my book!

Yes.... that's when he looked most like an England manager!!!!
Fiale Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I like the fact he said he was a "modern manager" about 10,0000000 times.

It was embarrassing, even LJ himself was embarrassed. I did wonder whether it was Gary or Steve Lansdown impersonating a drunken Bristolian

Davefevs Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 He was just gushing to LJ. I was almost sick!

Xiled Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I still think the loon who calls up to moan about Yeovil after every match wins it for me. I didn't realise until well after his call that the glovers had actually won this evening. The lad isn't blessed with a positive outlook
