Sorry like but there’s absolutely fuck all exciting about Lee Johnson.
He's like a cockney David Brent
I've read 3 major comments from Bristol fans and all allude to the same problems. When a person believes they are better than their worth its destined for disaster. Narcissism springs to mind with this chap. Narcissists will never learn from their mistakes however good managers do.
Who is responsible for the appointmentWell that has cheered me up
He needs to be given a chance and even though we as fans aren’t sold on him those in charge of recruiting him must be.
Above all, we need to make promotion our number 1 priority. He’s going to be under monumental pressure to deliver this, especially given the fanbase’s scepticism around him.
Fair enough mate, then just wallow in your negativity
Afternoon/evening fellas.
Not sure if this is worthy of a separate thread so if it gets merged so be it but thought I’d offer a view from our perspective to the reaction against LJ seemingly being offered the gig up at your place.
First of all I’m not expecting any of you to be inspired, whilst he was largely okay for us ultimately the bloke failed to deliver after being backed by our more than generous owner time and time again and was sacked a year or so after he should’ve been, for me and most supporters of BCFC.
Won’t bore you all with the details but LJ is alright, he’s a good coach that will improve the younger players you have (I’m not too clued up on you lot nowadays, but I’m not aware of any real young assets you have like you did in for example Maja currently?). As his “style” even after watching us for 4 years I really don’t know what to tell you what to expect, some seasons we played high pressing quick football which was a joy to watch, later on in his spell we’d be lucky to have 35% of the ball in away games, ultimately whatever he tried we fell short, albeit in the league above.
In summary I can see why you’d be pissed off, I’d rather have had Cook, Cowley or Poyet who all seem to have been linked with the job but for what you have I think if given time he’ll do well with you. It’s a massive club and a huge job but from the outside looking in I really think you lot need a long term project to buy into to get you back where you should be, and LJ was able to instil many values of that sort of thing here.
Finally from me, the real negative are his interviews. Bloke talks in riddles, make him look a smug twat. Don’t watch them or read them is my advice
Wish you and him all the best in fairness lads, Sunderland/Newcastle weekend for our game was one hell of a piss up the other year at your place, I’d be keen to do it again.
Also, 3-0 up under Lee Johnson is never safe. As you lot found out the other year.
Guna be a disaster this appointment a justdon’t understand it one bit Ano where in league one but fkn hell we are going round in circles season after season then getting left with all their terrible signing in the mist
No manager will get much time here atm. We don’t have time to give if we’re avoiding another season of this shit
Those in charge were sold on Ross and Parkinson. They have no credibility for meWell that has cheered me up

Johnson has a poorer win rate than Parkinson.
this.

Also interesting and not surprising that most of the replies are going on as if the opening post is 100% negative.
