He’ll end up being head coach at Yeovil Town some point one day soon. I still think that’ll be the case.

So the transfer his son made is looking like an increasingly isolated one. Unless of course, his son is in the side and playing first team football - no idea, not a side I follow! His son has only recently managed to get selected for the first time in their Development squad. I’ve only seen his name a few times in the u18s, but I don’t look specifically. Time will tell whether this was a football or family move or something else. Not that it matters too much, we got £250k + add-ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be a shame for the player if he followed a family connection and it stalled his career to such a point that he never got it back on track - Tins was pointing out at the fans forum that some players move too early when there is an established pathway at City and given that he was apparently quite fancied by staff at City to make it (or so it seemed) you wonder if he'll be another one who just didn't quite meet his potential elsewhere. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time of the move I thought the logic was a bit flawed. Managers, with the odd exception, get sacked on a regular basis. If you’re lucky you might last 2 or 3 years but, on the other hand it could be months. In the near future LJ and Jamie Mac could be working hundreds of miles from Hibs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love football fans.

cidercity1987 Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 He is empirically very well known as a streaky manager. It would be bizarre in the extreme to sack him at the first sight of a bad streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why he’s known as streaky Lee. Hibs were doing well and now it’s 3 points from the last 6 games. Six matches isn’t much, and it happens with every manager / team, but with him it just seems to be magnified. I’m sure it’s because supporters don’t warm to him due to his David Brent style interviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dastardly red Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 I saw Lee running in a marathon once. There was about half a mile left and he was really puffing and struggling. He came to a stand still, hands on his knees, cheeks red as a city shirt. Someone from the crowd shouted "quick, use a few buzz phrases Lee". His eyes lit up and he fired off a stream of corporate jargon the hot air created from which powered him triumphantly over the finishing line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not straight away but if he fails at Hibs and gets the sack at some point, i can’t see him returning to England at any higher of a level than League 1/2 IMO. It’s then a long hard road back to the championship and he would almost certainly need to then add a promotion to his CV to stay relevant and on the radar of Championship clubs. I can see him following a fairly similar career trajectory as his father did after leaving us to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 It's weird how LJ goes on these streaks of winning and losing. Hibs are bottom of the form table over the past 6 games. When you look at how they played in those games, they often dominated and created the most chances and shots on goals. They aren't playing badly...however they are losing games too easily. It's been a curse of LJs career. I've wondered in the past why it happens. It's crossed my mind that he's forever being ' the coach'. Looking at all aspects of the game. He finds a way of winning...but doesn't seem content with that. Is it something he changes, looking for perfection, that causes the problem? It's certainly odd that it happens everywhere he goes. That's a common theme. So something must trigger it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 LJ benefited hugely by nepotism throughout his playing career and now his managerial career is heading the same way as his father - down the leagues. It won’t be too long before Hibs sack him and his next job will likely be in League 2 or maybe the Conference. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Sending your Assistant in to dish out a bollocking is not going to go down well with any squad of players. The obvious accusation is you haven’t got the balls to do it yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
