You didn't really expect anything different did you Redprintt? When we use the term board we should actually say Steve Lansdown.
Having met you and knowing your years long commitment to Bristol City makes me weep even more. How much longer will they believe we are OK with the running of our club and for me the time is running out on my following.
Or maybe LJ might turn out to be a roaring success here! That's the thing about the future none of us know what's going to happen. Reading some of views over this you would thing the world is caving in. Hopefully history repeats and Red Robin creates a **** load of threads and looks silly like when Cotterill joined. Mike then writes a essay about the ship now settled and forgets that he's off his head with some of his threads and comments.
If he does we'll all be delighted. But don't blame people for being underwhelmed and more than a little disappointed if LJ gets the job after all of the propaganda that's been spouted by the club ever since they sacked SC about the quality of the applicants and Lansdown himself taking 'personal charge'. Because if that's what happens (and personally I reckon it will), then it will prove beyond all reasonable doubt that they are again talking complete and utter **** just to big themselves up, when in reality they are making themselves and the club a total look a laughing stock.
BBC Bristol sport@bbcbristolsport Update from Barnsley - Lee Johnson will not be leading first team training tomorrow (Barnsley's next game is Sunday) https://twitter.com/bfc_official/status/695663965523865601 … http://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-update-2941083.aspx Any significance?
So when it happens... Welcome Lee.... Some friendly advice. Where possible, ignore the club owner in particular, and Mark Ashton. Firstly they don't seem to know what day it is or what stories they are supposed to be telling the press or each other, and ffs whatever you do, don't believe a word they say, or expect any promises they might make you to come true. Don't be a bully like your old man supposedly was but don't be too matey with the players either. Ignore the boo boys, prove the knockers wrong, and keep us up. Please.
Have a read at this poster on OTIB, now I don't know him but from my time reading OTIB he's always seem bright and on the ball when talking about players from other teams etc. I know some won't bother to read this or will just rubbish it but it gives you a good insight on LJ http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/174940-lee-johnson-managerial-record/#comment-2457158
Second the above LJ,full backing from me,but do i think the time is right no i don't. I hope you are not a puppet for those at the top,they have feed us ball after ball,i hope they don't feed you false speel. Good luck LJ your dad gave me the second best times in my years following city,can you better that,time will tell.
It was reported on the barnsley fans forum that he was finishing after last nights match. Therefore it was a done deal even before the official approach/announcement?
