Takeover News/Rumours - Part 42

Just spotted at Seaham Hall with a mask on

It would be fascinating to hear the list of applicants, of which there was seemingly loads, to see how they’ve come to the conclusion that Johnson was the best fit.

Unless of course his references were impeccable.... has he ever managed Colchester?

 

[JL1985]

Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed

could’ve been a lot worse.

Just whelmed.

 

[Howard the Duck]

Ah well can't be worse than Parky.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but he seems to address most of the issues I had with Parkinson. Plays to win, changes things up with subs and formations during the match and gives youth a chance.

By no means my preferred choice but I can't fathom people saying he's worse than Parkinson.

 

[Horden Mackem]

Ah well can't be worse than Parky.

Can it not?

 

[gazfisher22]

none of the candidates excited me, but il back him until I think he’s out of his depth. Lee Johnson’s Red and White Army!

 

[viccarlton]

Ah well can't be worse than Parky.

Watch this space.

 

[Gaz]

Maybe he’s the only one who’d work within the new structure, not convinced but

No sarcasm mate.
Nobody can be as bad as Parky.

 

[Horden Mackem]

People(including me) getting excited about the news and we end up with Johnson

Typical Sunderland

So many idiots dismissing johnson - obvious upgrade

Overachieved at Bristol city

Clear way to play and identity

He is an upgrade, but thats not a high bar is it. I’ll back him all the way but it’s not surprising it’s not setting the place alight.

Wouldn’t necessarily say “overachieved”, but he had small improvements each year until last season. I have a concern over the winless runs he goes on but otherwise don’t think it’s that bad.

The way some on here are going on you’d think we’d reappointed Grayson!

Would take Grayson over Johnson, easily.

Correct. Thank fuck he’s up the road. We may see some half decent football now...can’t be any worse than it was.

yep 100%

I’m not over the moon about this but wow.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

That's what everyone said in 1987.

do me a favour man. We’ve had plenty of these appointments and for every Denis Smith there is a Crosby, Buxton, Sbragia, Grayson, Ross or Parkinson. If you’re harking back to 1987 to find a positive example then it’s straw clutching at best. And Johnson has achieved nowt at three clubs, Smith had been at one club prior.

I wish him well but this type of appointment is a well trodden path for us.

No you wouldn't.
