Well different positions, but as far as I know, (a) Brownhill leaving wasn't under his control and he was gutted to see him leave and (b) Nahki Wells overall seemed a decent signing.

It seems that the board have more of a say as to who comes in and and who leaves, than Johnson does. I think he was unfortunate, and it really wouldn't surprise me to see him go to another club and do very very well.

Ah fair enough, sorry pal. Yeah, I think he's done a really decent job, and I know a Bristol City fan who did say things changed when Brownhill left.

No compensation now.

Get him signed on. In fact Dyche can put him on the coaching staff until the end of the season.

View from a Bristol City supporting friend....

"Took us as far as he could. A great coach but his man management was poor. Players who are leaving are the most creative players and he had no Plan B. We didn’t have an identity or a good brand of football compared to how we were a couple of seasons back."

I've brushed up on the spelling and grammar a little bit.

A Bristol City fan phoned me when we were linked with him. It was almost a request to take him. He was amazed he hadn’t been sacked some time ago.

Crikey, I didn't realise we'd been linked with him. Presume lazy journalism from someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.

I think we'll see him again in the next few years and he'll do well. There's just something about his management/playing style that just makes me think he's learning and will get a lot better. Gut instinct.

The only reason that happened was because some parts of the media suggested he was being targeted by the Burnley board.

Who knows though. Eddie Howe and Sean, hadn't done much before they joined us. Even Judas did OK for a while and he hadn't done much either.

I meant that it was sparked by the media. I doubt any Burnley fan would see Lee Johnson as an adequate replacement for Sean Dyche.

But they wouldn't sack him if that were the case? They'd want us to pay for him.

He's a very young manager and I really do think he's going to turn out to be a very good manager.

Rumours in the game that a certain idiotic welsh CB went in there and absolutely ruined the dressing room and any chance the manager had. Touting himself for the job to anyone who would listen.

I didn't say it was true. Just that some parts of the media said so.

Like I said, I don't think Sean is going anywhere.

Who knows, we've had good managers come from crap clubs before. Coyle, Howe and Sean.

And could do a lot better. The Brentford manager for starters (although they may get promoted which wouldn't help)

Yes, we could but given the current environment,the board might look for someone who wouldn't demand a huge salary.

Don't even think about it though. Sean's going nowhere.

That seems to fit.

Having never been inside the club you can’t say for sure, but from an external view, the cap certainly fits.

What though? I think the hatred of him was because of his age. But I've never seen what he's clearly done wrong. He's been honest with some of his players. He was openly honest with Brownhill.
