Obviously BS though, I imagine LJ to have manager opportunities still. This would some kind of FM game move. Do you think LJ would be happy JUST coaching? If NP was fully on board with it, and he was a coach then maybe - but I feel it just be too much of an issue 4 minutes ago, KegCity said: I’d welcome him back as a coach.

petehinton Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Wouldn’t be at all surprised if JMac came back in the 23s, especially with Reuben doing so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m slightly disbelieving this myself but the person who told me is genuine and there is a connection to them. Anyone else heard similar I’d be surprised but not totally shocked at this to be honest, i bet the thought has entered into Steve and his boys mind over the last few months at the very least. They surely cannot be stupid enough to do it though. The fanbase would be up in arms and at a time when season tickets need to be sold it would be a PR disaster. How can you even sell the ‘return of LJ’ to the fanbase? The guy who took us on our all time worst run of defeats and who’s position became completely untenable and beyond toxic at the end?

TonyTonyTony Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 I heard LJ / JM turned down Peterborough recently, but that's nothing to do with this. I can see JM coaching a youth side, but LJ as a coach under NP? No way. After yesterdays game im more convinced than ever in NP. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 If LJ were allowed back into our club on the management or coaching side, it would be a disastrous decision by SL, but he has made disastrous decisions before... Jamie Mac as U23 coach, I can accept but only if Tins is onboard with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're definitely punching above their weight but without the financial challenges (in comparison to our situation). Not sure anyone would do better than Nigel though at the moment, with the squad and financial constraints we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityfan1958 Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Normally just laugh at the thought of either of these two coming back. What worries me slightly is NP comment a few days back about city being an odd club, or words to that effect, so I wonder if something was mooted ?

He wants Johnson back as it suits the nicey nicey Bristol City culture we have at the club and some of the fans fall for it. Having LJ back in any capacity will please the super happy clappers there were under his reign. I hope none of that Johnson family is ever in any coaching or managerial capacity at this club ever again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say “duff” I mean Duff Managers tend to struggle at higher levels in the same way players do, but the media often seem to assume that doing well as a manager at one level, is likely to lead to success further up. As with players, some succeed, but not many. Not keen on lower league only managers and the idea of LJ/JM returning makes me slightly nauseous, but okay with JM as a coach if NP happy with it. Will be a clear indication from SL re actually seeking success vs wanting a chummy club of low/no progress. Surprised if LJ would accept financial situation. All that said maybe the NP DoF/ LJ head coach combo will lead us to the promised land on a shoe string… hat being marinated a delicious hoisin Source in anticipation.

tin Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Can’t see it happening myself. But if it were, I’d be asking serious questions of SL once again for overlooking the key appointment of a sporting director or DoF in favour of bringing home two old boys, one of whom took a hefty pay-off when sacked after playing a big role in increasing our costs way beyond what was sustainable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
