It’s on the Wilbo interview it was hilarious! Tomlin was taking the piss and LJ had no idea how to handle it was/is the sub-text! Wilbo even said I wouldn’t say anything here that I wouldn’t say to Tomo’s face. There is loads more particularly Wilbo approaching LJ about mobile phone use at training! you should go find it it’s one of the best if not the best podcast interview of one of our best professionals! How did you get so angry? Yeah - got a link to Wilbs interview please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...and when he was here, he spoke openly about how he had to adjust his man management skills to the youngsters, as when he played, it was different. That was my point...the times have changed very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - good one - avoiding the question on a technicality - better than pointing out that some people don't like LJ at Sunderland - which was nothing to do with the question. I think there must be some aspiring politicians on here by the lengths some people will go to dodging questions and publicly acknowledging the simple truth that NOBODY has taken us closer to the English Premier League since Alan Dicks than the Johnsons.

Apologies, I know I was being a bit flippant - but yours is a very interesting debate, Gary and Lee Johnson have given us a bit of a hope when we’ve been in the championship, tempered with lots of despair. Gary obviously very nearly got us up to the premier league - just one game away, what a season that was - it was also a strange season, we seemed to win 1-0 lots of times before getting the occasional thrashing - and our top scorer was in single figures, is that correct? And what is it with LJ and the league cup??! I noticed earlier that Sunderland are in the quarter finals vs Arsenal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We surely have to accept the possibility that we would be in a better position had we not sacked him. Let that sink in. It is very possible that we would be playing better football and winning more games under LJ in the almost 2 years since he left. Sadly that is a distinct possibility.

Archaic autocratic coaching styles have more or less evaporated because they are completely useless coaching younger players. All current academic research on coaching and learning processes says that the personality and style of a coach needs to mesh with a player. A generation of footballers who don't want to be shouted at unnessecarily? You need to adapt or you'll die off. Move with the times or be consigned to the dustbin of history. This is spot on but you will not convince the masses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being pedantic or getting in the middle of whatever punch up your having with anyone. BUT the thread was about Lee Johnson’s man management. For the record Gary is a top bloke still got a picture of him and my old man 11years ago before he passed away. Lee I’m sure is a lovely guy. But some of the questions about his man management stem from comments from his former players. Edited December 20, 2021 by REDOXO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with your response mate and if I’m honest I’m playing a bit of a ‘fishing’ game with the LJ-haters hoping for a bite. However, my serious response to the original post about LJs (alleged lack of) man-management skills was to point out that IMHO he couldn’t have been THAT bad when he gave us the longest continuous championship status since Alan Dicks and a brilliant cup run. My point was that if he really was THAT bad the players wouldn’t have given that to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 That was a strange one gjs and byfields fall out. Dont recall the exact game, but it was at home, and gj, subbed him early in the first half. He was playing well, and gj said something like, i subbed him because he was covering to much ground. He rarely played after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 This Frankie Fielding/LJ was a bad man manager bit... Keeper gets injured, replacement comes in and does well, and it's likely the replacement will keep the role, hardly the fault of LJ to point out to FF that he might not get straight back in the side. As for the cup games, LS did really well all competition - especially against Utd, he can probably feel annoyed he never got to play the Man City game. Sounds (to me) that FF considered himself number one. Great that he wanted to play as much as possible, but with another senior player in his position on the bench, not being in in the side was always going to make reclaiming the starting role difficult.
