I can’t understand some..but hey everyone is entitled to their opinion I am delighted with the Sporting Director appointment and would be happy with Johnson too...this is “the start of a new era” in the words of David Jones Nice one Sunderland onwards and upwards
It was always going to be a massive task to appoint someone that would have galvanised all fans and got them back in unison but I am gutted we've appointed someone who has totally split the fans in half. On here and twitter it's very much black and white with this appointment and the same had it been Cowley. I think the only two appointments that may have had more in favour than against would have been either Poyet or Pearson. And even with them there were quite a few against them. I really do feel if Johnson (and it would have been the same with Cowley) doesn't hit the ground running the pressure will mount quickly and may not be a great atmosphere to come back to when the grounds re-open. I'll give him my backing, as I did with Parkinson who I was vehemently against beforehand, but just think we maybe should have taken a bit longer, widened the net, explored all options, than go with very much an option so divisive.
I agree with your point about the fans turning although I’m not sure they’d be as generous as 7 games. Have to disagree with the current squad being good enough, will certainly need a few additions especially if he wants to play with pace.
Totally agree with pace, that will have to be bought in January, blood some of the young lads like embleton and diamond, but until we acquire pace play a bit higher up the pitch and stop slowing the play down
In recent times, I’ve said Grayson would be ****, Coleman would be **** and Parkinson would be ****. I said Ross was inexperienced and it was too early for a job at safc. Remind me how they all ended. Maybe someone’s more clued up than you?
I think some people think if they shout loud enough SD and CM will still have all the control after the takeover it will become true
If I was his son I wadnt take his side either mate. I wouldn't believe everything you read on Twitter marra. Its full of pessimists on there.
Ok i get it and still believe. Om on the bcfc page if anybody wants to quiz them on new gaffer. I'm already getting from them that we are haters and will we hate LJ from the start.
Mate get real. We’ve appointed a manager who’s only target in his managerial career is to keep a team up. He received death threats from Bristol city fans. He’s currently out of work. Of course he was going to take the job. The outstanding candidate and most fans choice was pearson and Phillips who has a far better cv and was interested in the job. Why didn’t we speak to him? Because if we couldn’t afford poyet we couldn’t afford pearson. So it is unambitious because from the word go we are reluctant to pay to get a good manager in.
