Takeover News/Rumours - Part 42

[Lord Nigle]

*Puts tin hat on* I don't think Lee Johnson will be that bad of an appointment at this level.

This was also being said when PP was unveiled. SAFC deserves better than underwhelming chickenshits.

He's not my choice at all but there's no way he is more depressing than Parkinson!

Oh he is. A lot more. Parkinson at least got teams out of this division.

 

[GuestServices]

Do not want Johnson, will be incredibly unhappy tbh

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Agents are full of shit though

Its a shite appointment. Rodwells basically appointed his mate

Aye, only by f***ing idiots. Parkinson was a terrible appointment and that was clear from day 1.

Donald just wants a second payday down the line from his remaining stake. He has zero interest in us now, and zero interest in being engaged with running the club. He wants out, but without much financial pain.

The new owners are no better then him then if this is the landmark appointment. Did a bunch of mags help them devise the shortlist?

 

[tenpins]

If this is true the takeover has got to be off. Another stinking cheap appointment.

Will be sacked by next summer

That's the spirit.

Vile people running this club. Truly vile.

Johnson might be a shite appointment but he's nowhere near as bad as Parkinson

Funny though Parkinson came with a better win rate than Johnson and 3 promotions. Johnson simply has nothing on his cv to suggest he should be considered. Its an absolute nonsense decision. As I said earlier these clowns who own our club think they know better - we need a 'coach' regardless of his track record of failure, mediocrity. He's just been sacked for failing to get promoted at a club who backed him with investment. This is truly a low that you didn't think we would get to.

 

[Howard the Duck]

If this is the case, and assuming the right structure is being put in place re. the academy, then it sounds fairly promising.

Having heard Speakman's philosophy then I can see why they've gone for him.

I completely disagree with those saying this shows the takeover is off. The opposite in my opinion.

Looking like RR have had a text from Charlie as well

Oh look at us all ITK. That’s all they seem like they actually care about like. Thought they didn’t like Charlie anymore anyway. As long as they get their top off n that eh.

 

[thecloughywobble]

Johnson could be the feint, making the chosen one (whoever it is) seem more alluring. I don't mind Johnson. I know it's swimming against the tide, but I'd prefer to suspend judgment on the new manager (whoever it is, part II) until I've first seen what s/he can('t) do with our lot....

 

[TradingPlaces]

At least he's the antithesis to Parkinson.

Plays attacking football, brings youngsters through.....

Those are the good points, the news from Bristol City fans that he goes on long losing streaks and appears unable to halt them is very concerning, along with the fact he's never done anything in his career other than midtable/lower half. It's not an appointment that's going to excite supporters.

 

[Scorer]

If he had his infamous streak of wins at the right time we could be promoted by then. Doubt it though, bang average to slightly below average appointment if true but I suspect it’s not.

Never really got that from him, to be honest.

They haven't had the goals to show either.

 

[Mickdundee]

Did you believe it was possible to get a more depressing managerial appointment than Parkinson? These absolute clowns have done the impossible if they appoint Lee '15th place is what I deliver' Johnson. True clown behaviour but so predictable.

TBF he’s not finished 15th in any year as manager. 12th, 8th and 11th the last 3 seasons.

He would be a very Speakman appointment. And he was also the one who got Tammy Abraham in on loan there, so he's got good contacts.

Agree bit,but at least PP had promotions.This fellah has never been promoted

 

[SAFC11]

really poor appointment if so. No real success of note apart from 2 managers of the month and a 37% win ration
