This is the end "8th August 2014 Oldham 0-2 Braintree "

[supertaylor]

This is it a complete farcical appointment in my eyes I was saying yesterday looking at the scores pop up Stockport 0-2 Braintree this is us in 2 years and this whole situation reeks of the same Stockport story!

 

A cheap option- if the 70 quoted that applied this lad is the best candidate? Please come on slate me if you want but 0 experience- he hasn't even had a good playing career like dickov did!where is the chain of thought here?

 

Only points to corney being off we will go down- what payers are going to have respect for a rookie 31 year old? What calibre of player will he attract?

 

We are doomed first time I have had a big issue with attending games it has Definately made me think is it worth if? Corney over rated players sponging off the club

 

It's a complete joke rookie manager and players dinking penalties like its a laugh? It's serious this were a football league team "for now"

 

I'm entitled to my thoughts they don't have to be positive only good thing is I will tick off Barnet aldershot Wimbledon morecambe next season that's it!

Evening chaps

 

Bristol City fan here. I am quite interested in this Lee Johnson story as he was a key part of our team from 06-12. Seems a real risk appointing him due to his age and current league position BUT Lee Johnson, IMO, as someone who has watched him as a part of our squad for a fair few years has a great deal of good credentials for management.

 

Obviously having a father who has been fairly successful as a manager helps, his uncle Pete is/was also a scout and Lee has been involved with the youth systems at Arsenal and Watford as well as playing for Hearts and Killie north of the border so is well travelled and has certainly has a few connections he's built up over the years.

 

Lee is also a bright boy - he owns a small property portfolio which he has built up and it's worth a fair bit now - he's not you're average footballer in terms of intelligence and that comes across in his interviews too.

 

He also is a real model pro. When things weren't going so well for us Lee was an easy target due to him being Gary's son (suggestions of nepotism etc) but during that time he gave nothing less than his all and carried on trying his hardest despite the undeserved critisism he was receiving for Gary's repeated selection of him when times were rough!

 

Lee has been involved in successful sides. With Yeovil I believe they won two promotions and a football league trophy. He's achieved promotion with Bristol City and also won Scottish cups with Hearts and Killie off the top of my head so knows what is needed for a successful side.

 

I appreciate this information may seem irrelevant in his potential managerial ability but I believe he has the credentials to be successful. If he gets the job I will keep an eye out for your results as he was a real credit to Bristol City during his time here.

 

Best of luck for the rest of the season.

 

 

-- He has contacts.

-- He is Clever

-- He has had success at this level

-- He will keep us up.

Are we sure it's definitely Johnson? Could it be a combination of Brown / Horton / Johnson? I hope so - we desperately need some quota of experience if we are to escape, and I think that is still a distinct possibility. Don't want to slate this new guy with no prior knowledge of him but it strikes me as very odd if he is put in on his own, however short the deal is. :censored:, didn't mean this to all be emboldened, italicised and underlined but can't undo it now. Just highlights how absurd life can be.....

Im going to wait until I see a few games underhis stewardship before I predict the apocalypse.

 

This is a massive gamble on corneys part and im slightly worried but ive never heard the guy talk nevermind manage. For me Ill give him a chance like I have with every manager. Im sure if you went back a few years you would have posts on this message board claiming that we will have folded by 2013.
