Takeover News/Rumours - Part 42

[Howard the Duck]

Johnson is a bit underwhelming. Would far rather the Cowleys. Predictably the reaction from some SAFC fans will be barmy though - as already seen on this thread

Think I may be giving this place a swerve tonight...

 

[doodlebugs]

They aren't. They retweeted one article on Lee Johnson and then loads of other ones. People need to calm down a bit

bit late for that,even the bairns been chucked out along with the bath water

 

[Coeus]

I mean, your expectations were the highest of any of us though

Mind you, if Ralph Rangnick rocked up this afternoon, imagine the scenes...

That was for DoF of a world takeover initiative that I had imagined though.

I'll settle for the Brum chap and a couple of youths in the squad instead.

When it comes to the manager, I didn't think id have too much of an opinion other than not Billy Davies, seems I do and I don't want Johnson.

Streaky Lee

 

[pwsafc]

Disappointing.

Will 100% get behind him though.

This^ if it is him fans just need to get behind him, we need promotion this season. Not there is anything to say it is him, odds at the bookies dont mean much

 

[Chucky Puddin]

Was he ever properly approached by the club for a role do you know?

Eveytime I asked him he said they couldn’t afford my wages

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Told it’s done by someone I know who works at Leeds as head of emerging talent! He’s been working with Johnson’s agent in the past few hours and said it’s done!

God this is uninspiring.

 

[SebastienELLISbexter]

There's absolutely no way I'm going to be mature about this.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Certainly? That sounds like a guarantee. Someone else was just corrected with a remark of ‘there are no guarantees’.

And I bet we wouldn’t have more 4-3s than 1-0s

I've lived in Bristol for 20 years, and City get the same attention here as we do in the NE. His sets up his teams to attack. They don't shut up shop. So they score plenty, but concede plenty as well.

hahaha! that really made me laugh

 

[Billy Batts]

Not keen on Johnson at all tbh. We've just got rid of a streaky manager ffs.

Well we have forwards who can't score and a leaky defense (now) so not sure how I feel.

That's our keepers shiting themselves

 

[Coeus]

Inasmuch as the poor sod will be fighting an uphill battle to convince the fans from day one, yes. Johnson seems to have a lot more self-belief than the last manager in that position though. We'd certainly have more 4-3s than 1-0s mind.

I might be completely wrong but whenever I have looked at City from last year and season prior, they came completely unstuck because he can't play anything other than counter-attacking football, any team that sat back nullified them.

Doesn't seem the perfect fit to me. If he's appointed, so be it.

We haven't got any attackers may be his first problem.

Remember Bristanbul. Was he manager that game?

 

[wilberforce]

I kniw we are in league 1, and have to be realistic. but.... surely with our set up, stadium, academy, fan base, new billionaire owner etc we can attract someone to get the pulse racing
if it is Johnson I'll be fully behind him, and hope he succeeds, but its just a bit of a downer ! 12 months of trying to get excited, to being kicked in the gonads once AGAIN

I’m sure they played three at the back

“Shitty”, it’s spelled “shitty”

And that's his second problem
