Leadbitter talking about Johnson

[10 Gary Rowells]

Is he doing his badges? If so, then Lee needs to give him a player/coach job. He's the kind of personality we need to keep around.

Totally agree - Grant is what the club is about and he recognises something in LJ.

 

[KGC83]

Ya can tell the players respect him

 

[hertsmackem]

Looking at the video he reiterated that LJ cares and, IMO, it inferred that LJ cares otherwise why would he mention it? Its not bringing up the past but more comparing situations.

Aye maybe anyway who cares we have a new era now let’s enjoy it marra

Leadbitter is an awkward interview but seems like a good bloke.

He's been through a lot and I'm happy for him today because this clearly meant something to him.

From a club perspective, it's great to have Lee Johnson at the club and, though it's really good to hear Leadbitter acknowledge him like that, it's nothing we didn't already know. The players show us week in and week out that they'll run through walls for him.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This club will return to the Premier League with Lee Johnson at the helm!

God I hope your right.

Agree. It's the best that things at club have been for quite some time.

That’s a Sunderland lad who has just actually
Played for Sunderland at Wembley.

I’d be crying .

go on grant lad

 

[Pilly]

That’s a really interesting interview. Ultimately we all want to feel like people in and around us care about who we are and what we’re doing.

I know their was some mick taking about a piece written on Johnson the other week. Saying it was all corporate/management bullshit. But a lot of it talked about finding a way to connect with individuals/get the best out of them. Maybe it’s working.

 

[JO1912]

I think this is an important interview personally. Results have been great but a few performances have been iffy so there might still be questions on Johnson. This is one of us giving massive plaudits to the manager, I think things are looking up and we’re on the right path

 

[cluffy]

Gerrin Grant! So intense.

 

[G Force]

Love Grant. Love Johnson. Love 09

Love the f***ing lot of this squad

 

[dave hedgehog]

Canny statement that. The fact the players feel they are loved and theres a team bond is a big deal. Hope to fuck we get promoted now like

 

[Coeus]

Only a couple of weeks since Johnson should be sacked as he is useless.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Only a couple of weeks since Johnson should be sacked as he is useless.

I can’t remember anyone calling for his sacking whatsoever

 

[hertsmackem]

I can’t remember anyone calling for his sacking whatsoever

Correct answer it’s just some like to cause a rift or a stir over nothing

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Wasn’t there a rumour that Leadbitter had a big barnie with Parkinson and got dropped for a few games? Maybe that was why, bloke was a complete drip. There’s obviously a massive amount of love between this lot now

 

[chopsfc007]

I can’t remember anyone calling for his sacking whatsoever

People said he was a few games from it mind

 

[Pacific]

he's clearly a very good man manager and has them all buying into his ideas

 

[Jasper]

He’s clearly a good manager of people like.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Having listened to a few of the players on various podcasts etc I can say with a degree of certainty that Phil Parkinson is a gormless coward who everyone hates.

I don't think I've heard ex players slagging a manager off as much as some have of him

 

[Coeus]

Correct answer it’s just some like to cause a rift or a stir over nothing

Correct answer is the chap can't remember?
