I tried to join there a few times over the years, but it wouldn't let me. Im sure quite a few of you on here are glad i couldnt now .
Great post marra, especially the bit about player's being sold each season, would undermine any manager
Nah not me, i liked it here and stayed, don't go on rtg much now. Don't dislike the site mind and some cracking members over there too Your good craic mate.
Johnson's only a small fellow isn't he. Anyway, enough of my personal problems! LJ will get 100% support from me. As will KLD, JS, KS etc etc. KTF FTM
Great Post, and have similar thoughts on it myself. To add to it, I would say he's attacking in his style, not frightened to change things, and gives youth a chance. Three things Parkinson was criticised for. Before his sacking, Johnson was the longest serving manager in the league above! If our new model is the qualities he brings, then exciting times are ahead. I think some fans forget where we currently are when they say they are underwhelmed by him. He's probably the best we can get for the structure we will have in place.
Well I can't sit here yapping arl day like yous lazy bastids. I've got 40 pints of bitter to bottle before kick off Cheers
Stats only tell part of the story though. Look at Nigel Pearson’s stats. A win rate of 50% at Leicester but only 21.4% at Southampton and Derby, 35% at Hull and 32% at OH Leuven. Clearly the specific conditions- the set up etc at different clubs- play a big role in the way a manager performs.
There is loads of guess work going on but we haven't got a clue about the financial details of the takeover. The thing I am absolutely certain about in my mind, is that anyone with the financial clout of Dreyfus (family) and the legal advice available to him will not play second fiddle to anyone and definitely won't be stung by the likes of Donald and Methven
People saying Johnson is a "Parkinson mk2" are having a laugh like. They are possibly as far apart in footballing ideas and philosophy as its possible to get. I doubt Pep Guardiola has ever sang the praises of a Phil Parkinson side ffs. Anyway
Not really. Spoke to someone today and the loan deadline from FPP last week hasn’t been paid back and it seems like there’s still a lot of work to be done. Heard and posted on here the deal looked like it was going to be completed in some capacity (re-distribution of shares at best) last week, but it looks like the french kids advisors have obviously said that a 60% majority with the 3 stooges and him footing the bill with 40% isn’t good enough I stand by everything I’ve said since I came on here. The fans have been taken for mugs and the ITK’s have their sources who are close to CM/SD, Hence why since July they’ve said something has been happening etc When in-reality SD has been desperately trying to keep the show running What was stated on here in July/Aug is totally different to what is supposedly happening now. Yet people for some reason still state they the ITK’s were correct all along. It’s a totally different scenario. I could drag up multiple examples of % or FPP or meetings on wearside etc. And nothing transpired. But because we’ve been linked with a french kid then that means they were right all along despite nothing been heard about the french kid till recently This french kid has only came on the scene the last month or so. And there’s still a long long way to go Even if he’s still interested with due diligence etc I’m not getting into an argument. I’m not falling out with anyone. People can have hope but it’s been false hope, every Friday for the last 4 months The 3 stooges want their cake and eat it. They’ve all ready had Cowley turn them down for the job due to the DoF model. They jumped the gun with Poyet by realising info to ‘fans’, same as the takeover being done last week to RR I hope we get Johnson across the line, but the problem is he has to speak to the club, and that’s Where managers/players can see what a **** show we really are and run a mile I think this is what’s happening with the french kid and his advisors unfortunately He’s definitely interested, but not with the current regimes plans Enjoy the game
