NewBlue Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 According to some on their forum he's been their first choice since the sacking of Wilson last week. That doesn't mean he wants to go, though. No way I'd forgive LJ for leaving us for them, or in fact leaving us for anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still showing as LJ on mine. Gary 14's now with Bet Victor.

Sure he wasn't even in the betting when I first read this thread LJ is 4/5 Favourite according to a Bristol evening paper. I remain the eternal optimist! and really hope he would not leave for a club no better off IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddy_Ender Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 He keeps banging on about playing budgets and they reputeadly have one of the top budgets in the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Oddschecker have Gary Johnson as 1/3 for Skybet. But Skybet's actual website has it as Lee Johnson at 1/3 https://m.skybet.com/football/manager-specials/event/17534340 Surely the only League One teams he'd leave us for are Brizzle, Preston and Sheff Utd?

Latics and England Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It would be a massive blow if Lee went. He is building something here and I fear that could all fall apart if he left. For what it's worth, though, I think he would be stupid to leave right now and I don't think he is so he'll stay. There is no way that Oldham Athletic has the ambition to match Lee's in the long term but right now he couldn't be anwhere better for his own development. He has a chairman who backs him (I know that Simon doesn't get everything right by any stretch of the imagination but I think he'd be good to work for) and he is developing a team that can over-perform. For him to move elsewhere he is only going to pile additional pressure on himself and get less time to achieve what he wants to achieve. I would expect Lee to stay until the end of next season and see how far he can take the squad he's building. If he takes us into the play-offs at that point he will have developed a reputation that would get him a better job than Barnsley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc-latics Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Realistically the earliest us or Barnsley would be promoted is the end of next season. If he stays here, I'd say we'd have as much chance of promotion next year as Barnsley. It'd be a definite sideways move, and he doesn't seem like the type of person who'd be up for that. EDIT: Latics & England has just put it far better than I have. Edited February 17, 2015 by oafc-latics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddy_Ender Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 As its Bristols rag releasing the news whats the odds he has been on the blower to his old guvnor for advice again and he has spilled the beans ? If he goes it would be a right kick in the bollocks for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 To be honest he's flogging a dead horse here....although he's done a decent job and generally the football has improved the crowds are not coming back. He would have to get us into the top 3 for any significant increase which on our budget will prove difficult. He would have a much bigger budget at Barnsley and be able to achieve his goals much quicker. It just depends on his loyalty now. If he has been approached by Barnsley I think he will find it very difficult to turn down. The only thing in our favour is the amount of managers they've sacked over the last few years.

jsslatic Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just searching his name in that well known internet search engine brings up several Barnsley related stories... There's two. Both reporting he's the bookmakers favourite. None actually reporting any information other than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 What are the other jobs he's been linked with while managing here? I'm sure I've come on this forum during a frenzy about him supposedly leaving before a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
