Glen Sannox Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 If Ron had the club’s best interests at heart, all he had to do was Google “ Lee Johnson Bristol City/Sunderland forums”. It makes horrific reading! Bonnyrigg and Edinburgh look like they might be getting some unexpected support next season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoose Rice Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Johnson accepted the job this afternoon and has invited Sir Davie to be part of his backroom. 100%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyX Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 American chairmen just seem to be really really bad at picking managers for Scottish football teams. Impressing at interview might be important for some promising new manager with no real track record, but this guy has 10 bloody years of achieving nothing - it shouldn't matter what he says at interview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this has to be the most uninspiring manager appointment we’ve had considering some of the names we were linked with and interviewed. Most fans are absolutely pissed off with this.

Most fans are absolutely pissed off with this. What concerns me is that he feels like just another lower league english jobber who probably knows nothing about what is required in this league - his Scottish knowledge is probably Rangers / Celtic, like most of them. He will then spend our cash on some players he knows from Bristol / Sunderland / Rotherham etc and expect them to click at ER. You can almost predict his trajectory and fall from grace before he has even arrived. He and his team will almost certainly cost a few quid, as will the players he brings. I genuinely think our owner has got zero clue and as I have said before - we really needed someone in DoF position before we made a manager appt. Right now, I am completely on the fence about renewing as I am really not enjoying Saturdays now - if we had appointed someone who looked genuinely "exciting" I wouldnt even be hesitating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done better than Ross at Sunderland and McInnes at Bristol. Better track record down South than Neilson and Alexander also. Hecky had no experience of the Scottish game when appointed. I'm actually quite happy at the calibre of appointment in comparison to Aberdeen and also Maloney. Fucking should have been Alex Neil in November though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoose Rice Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Just now, annan4eva said: The Sunderland fans did not like him at all got called streaky there and Bristol ( wins a few followed by hammerings) He saved Bristol from relegation and established them as a Championship club. Sunderland are a basket case and they still placed in third when he was punted. Face value, despite supporters moaning he's about as good as any of the diddy clubs could attract imo. Seems an alright guy too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 People get awfully worked up about manager appointments, but basically we just don't know. Might be great, hopefully he's shite. We can go back and forward about his record all we want, but in reality the most important thing is player recruitment. Hibs' has been shite of late and that's why they are rubbish. Get that right and life is easier for any coach. Four years, though? Bold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
