Lee Johnson - potential replacements

[bowers2]

Johnson’s idea of his project is to slag off probably the hardest working player and performer. You couldn’t actually make this shit up.

 

[thecloughywobble]

Really like the sound of this fella.
Good spot.

Likewise. Thanks, Ale. He'd go down a storm in the Colliery Tavern....

 

[bootle mackem]

he was a disaster at Birmingham though so why would Speakman approach him ?

Worked with him before and knows him. He would be an awful appointment. Just trying to think of who would work in the set up we have and is known to people in that set up. I wouldn’t go anywhere near.

Whilst I don't think Keane is the answer we do desperately need someone with the sort of mentality he brought to the club.

tbf there are very few out there with the same mentality as Keano

I’d be surprised if we’d be bottling 50/50s if they had to go in and face Keane afterwards.

John Terry - left his role as Villa assistant head coach in July, and Dean Smith gets the sack in November. Coincidence?

Nowt to do with Jack Grealish leaving Villa then ?

As I already said earlier in the thread, although I’m serious about John Terry being a decent candidate, I was clearly joking about his absence getting Dean Smith the sack.

 

[bedlington mackem]

8 pages of whinging fuckers wanting LJ replaced and yet, barely a single suggestion that is either a realistic or worthwhile. Says it all really.....

God no!

"God no!" to Daniel Farke who not only got Norwich promoted twice but by playing lovely football ?

I'm a realist mate. Again, I ask you....who do you suggest? Oh and please, don't come out with the old retarded rhetoric of "anyone's gotta be better than LJ", as that shit is getting boring. As I said, 8 pages and not a single worthwhile suggestion.-

so Farke, Warne, Evatts, Alex Neil, John Terry, Ryan Lowe, Appleton, Keano and Warnock are not worthwhile ? Really ???

Totally unrealistic.

 

[bedlington mackem]

So you don't have a suggestion then? Thought not....happy to whinge your tits off, but have no idea how we improve the situation.

My suggestion is unless an obvious improvement presents itself, then we have to stick with LJ. We've had more managers that 90% of clubs in league football over the past 10 years and rarely get any meaningful success by changing managers. We sack him no, we'll be in the same Groundhog Day position 6 months from now.

Farke, Terry, Alex Neil, Warnock are all out of work and potentially available

 

[PS]

Dodgy geezer - heard stories about him down here. No from me.

 

[bedlington mackem]

Doesn't matter who comes in IF we sack LJ these players haven't got the heart or desire to get promoted.

Any team who are going up use the man advantage in the 2nd half the spineless wonders who play for us couldn't

Players can be motivated to show heart and desire though if they are inspired by the manager and / or coach..

 

[Johnnyh]

Sunderland fans wont be happy with any manager unless its SKP

Give over. Never managed. Been out of football for years. Your living in the past.

 

[bedlington mackem]

No chance for many reasons but Michael Carrick.

You would appoint a Mag for his first managerial role at Sunderland ????!!!!

at his age he isnt going to want long term projects and i doubt even he needs money now..certainly not enough to come to the third diivison.

rinse and repeat

we can not afford him tho

how not ....Keano is begging for another opportunity to manage ?

Terry is a c unt who I want nowhere near our club. Neil and Farke wouldn't come here.

I like Warnock, but maybe we need to let the poor bloke retire in peace.

 

[bedlington mackem]

Totally unrealistic.

all of them ? .....I believe all would be willing to talk to us , except perhaps John Terry

Why wouldnt Alex Neil come here when as a Glaswegian he went to championship Norwich and Preston NE ?

Because you’re in League One?

It’s not the players man, can’t you even see that? Take last night as an example, players doing ok… LJ makes substitutions, moves players around… suddenly an opponent not picked up. He regularly messes it up.

My first post on this thread questioned Johnson. 2nd post admitted players need to take responsibility also. Both points were right. The players weren't doing OK before the subs either , our play was garbage before and after the subs.

LJ does regularly mess up, I don't generally agree with his selection , subs or formation. However, the players regularly fail to stand up and be counted , particularly our senior players .

 

[Mallard]

He's not going anywhere.

this and the names some mention on here make me laugh. Like when Wilder went to boro some were genuinely disappointed a potential target was no more. Whether I agree or not is irrelevant, I ain’t convinced this team will get promoted regardless

 

[Nil desperandum]

Wonder if Ole would fancy getting nearer Scandinavia.
