And now the conspiracy theories have started why LJ left them. I'm surprised that they are so bitter about him leaving given that most that are positing seem not to like nor trust him. We have been there with people we see as all talk or leave for a 'bigger' club. Just to start a rumour I think LJ didn't want Ched, their board did want Ched and the rift has never been fixed. Any others?
I have it on good authority that Johnson returned to the club offices from training one night to collect his stuff and walked in on the entire board, dressed head-to-toe in the 1988 away kit, performing a Satanic ceremony involving the ritual sacrifice of the club mascot Chaddy. That, my friends, is why he had to leave and is absolute FACT. Probably.
He's said on more than one occasion that people "don't know the whole story", whether that means he was encouraged to leave I don't know but to be fair to him, judging on the crowds they get, Oldham doesn't seem to want a professional football team, how can a team getting less than 3000 home fans ever realistically have aspirations of getting back in to the Championship, I just feel sorry for the die hards they have there.
18th consecutive season in League One. We've done allsorts in that time period. Fair play to those diehards I say.
The board lost all faith in Lee Johnson once he signed Jacob Mellis on loan. The reason the true story has never come out is because he's to ashamed to admit it. I'm assured that he doesn't make the same mistake twice.
I heard on good authority that Jeremy Clarkson was visiting late one night and wanted Lee to cook him a steak,he promptly refused got on phone to Ben who told him to get to't well. Clarkson ended up smacking chairman.
