room0035 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Its a no from me not the sort of manager who I think could get us promoted and moving forward as a team for me Gary Rowett did a great job at Burton and Birmingham and given more time at Stoke would probably achieved there too he has a 42% win rate in over 340 games. Give him the squad we have plus a little money to add one or two additions and we would be top 8 maybe with an outside for the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 He's too small. I mean, really small. Irritatingly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobness Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I don't think it's DC's style to poach a manager from another club, especially with how things have gone on with Newcastle taking Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Are we step up from Bristol City though? I think they are dark horses for promotion this year personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socialist_Owl Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Bristol has backed him. Doubt we can poach, thats not even our style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Definitely too small. Would need to stand on a box like Alan Ladd used to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are dark horses for promotion this year personally. I would agree...lots of positives with LJ. They (Bristol) seem capable of spending 'upper championship' money on players these days, a situation that has come about by impressive recruitment and ultimately the sale of those players. Also their use of the loan market has been enviable. How much of this is down to L.J. is unknown though he has surely had a big part in it. I don't know how big a squad he had to play with but I suspect the poor runs were largely down to a lack of strength in depth (injuries). For me he's taken a lot of distinctly average players and made a few of them into potential premier league players. To my mind the best possible candidate for this particular job...if he would take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrig Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I love the hypocrisy in football. We are all up in arms that we have lost our coaching team less than 3 weeks before the start of the season but would quite happily do it to another club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a football fact. We've done it countless times in the past and had the same done to us..The only thing that anonys me is that Ashley seems to think he's too big to pay us compo.

Ante's Bubbly Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 21 hours ago, Alan Robinson said: No way would Lee Johnson choose to leave ‘his’ club. As a former player he loves Bristol City and even if a lower PL club came for him he’d turn them down. He admits he wants to manage in the PL but ‘with Bristol City’. Add to that he lives locally, his young daughter goes to a local school and he has a property empire in one of the more elite areas of Bristol in Clifton. Plus.......he owes a debt of gratitude to our owner Steve Lansdown who refused to sack him when City were struggling in and around the drop zone two seasons ago. Since then he’s made progress in terms of league position in the two seasons since. Johnson is a deep thinker about the beautiful game and a really clever guy - far more insightful than his father was who in all fairness was a one trick pony. Thank you Alan, good to hear the point of view of a Brighton supporter. That pretty much kills my hopes in that direction then. How come you have an Owl on your badge? Are we your second team?

Your site seems automatically to call everyone who joins a Sheffield Wednesday fan. I don’t think you can opt out! I’m another Bristol City fan who sometimes mooches around rivals’ forums.

Bluesteel Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I like his style. But Bristol C are his side and they are arguably better equipped to buy players at the moment and have a push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
