Admin phantom Posted July 27, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 I would agree with both of the previous two posts There are those that still follow him very closely, but additionally the nail was firmly hit on the head with the desc above 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 23 minutes ago, Red Exile said: I wouldn't say it was an obsession, but rather the satisfaction that comes with being able to say 'told you'. More seriously - in modern times he was a hugely consequential Bristol City manager, given the keys to the kingdom, always a divisive appointment, wasn't up to the job but was given what seemed like an age to prove himself, squandered the opportunity, left us in a mess. I’m not getting into the debate about his time here because that would just make my point! But I still find it hard to believe that after three years, two managers, a complete change of squad and a pandemic - and he still generates three of our top 7 discussions this evening. I’d call that obsessive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never too fussed on him either way, but devil’s advocate, is it all that weird for people to still discuss one of the longest serving managers the clubs ever had from time to time?

Hopefully you’re right and once the season gets underway……. But I still wouldn’t bet against his name cropping up from time to time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 This made me chuckle - post match quote from LJ: ‘I don't want to give excuses because we just weren't good enough, but the altitude seemed a bit of a problem in terms of the lads getting a breath in.‘ Be surprised if they don’t turn it around in the second leg though.

Elruliri Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 I'm still in disbelief how he got the job. LJ and MA took the club Backwards. I couldn't give a toss what he does at another club. He will probably end up where his Dad is. And still talking shite and grass clippings. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Nice reply from Little Lee when asked for his opinion on BBC post match............'it was disappointing wasn't it"? I think he said there were altitude problems, but could have been meaning attitude? Ha!! Edited July 27, 2023 by maxjak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 I'm surprised Johnson experienced altitude problems as he's a lot closer to ground level than most. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This used to wind me up when he said that and I used to think well its your players and your squad. Having said that wasn't it MA who essentially decided who we brought in and LJ just ok'd it?

CodeRed Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Hibs fans not happy! " we are managed by a clown . A complete charlatan, make no mistake . David Marshall sold the jerseys a few times in the 2nd half of the season . It is obvious the guy is past it , but LJ hasn’t the balls to drop him . LJ tells us before the game , that our opponents are a big physical team , so he starts 8 stone soaking wet , crisp packet in the wind , Melkerson. The guy has proved time and time again he just does not have the ability or brains to manage Hibs . His slavering is becoming legendary, and he is turning us into a joke outfit." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andorra play at about 1000m in the Pyrenees. Whilst that isn’t considered “high altitude” (compared with, say, the issues in Bolivia) it is probably high enough to have a minor effect on breathing, so it’s likely to be a valid point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
