wendyredredrobin Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Can't say he would find sheffield an attractive proposition when he has board support here and the chance to really make a name for himself. I hope he also remembers how Steve stood by him when we were facing the drop last year too. He's going nowhere, but may be harder to keep him next year when we are playing in the prem and in europe.

He loves City and wouldn't betray the trust and loyalty shown to him by SL. Nice to see that other clubs are interested in LJ tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many of the conventional ‘managers’ that are on the circuit anyway. If/when he does go - especially if he’s poached - I wouldn’t be surprised to see an internal promotion and McAllister to take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I struggle to see what Sheffield Wednesday have that would entice him away. Big ground and a good following but a genuine local rivalry will make them impatient. Here he has loyalty from the man with the purse strings and a project to continue and time to do it.

SW-City 0-1, Maynard. Think they went down to leauge one that season. We stayed in BB and had a good time. We had a good time in Sheffield. LJ is our manager and as long as we progress he will be in City. No reason for him to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post would only make sense if: 1. there had been an approach that LJ was minded to accept or; 2. you are being ironic. Given your usual quality I can only assume it's the latter.

WTFiGO!?! Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 If they were to poach LJ then it seems it takes as little to get a job in football management as it does to be sacked from one. LJ's biggest achievement to date is guiding us to 17th in the Championship. It would appear he would be offered the Sheffield Wednesday job based on a 12 game run this season.

One definition of irony is saying something with the intention of communicating its opposite. Tone is important of course and I deduced Tone's tone* from his usual posting style. Of course he may have been satirising some of the responses from the last thread on Owls fans wanting LJ, which did indeed react as if he was on his way to Sheffield already. Of course his reply might itself have been ironic. *not sure I can unpack that one myself on reading it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I love how they will just assume that 'if we want him we'll get him' kind of thing because he's only managing little old BCFC. Not a chance he'd leave us for Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Op has taken one fans thought, and made it into a story that Wednesday are after LJ. There forum has noticed a thread on here that LJ received death threats and could probably be persuaded because of that. You can see how stories get distorted and taken out of context? Believe me...Clubs read forums, as do managers and players. I always try to keep this in mind when posting now. Would you say the same thing as you post....to the face of the person you are posting about? That's how I try to think now. I know of an instance happening right now, where a manager has approached a forum member at his club, who has questioned his way of playing, and has seen it as disruptive and not helping the club....they've had it out face to face and it's an ongoing issue. Personally I don't think the forum member is at fault...but even so...I do believe what's written on forums can affect what happens, usually through media picking stories up and adding pressure.
