I've seen one or 2 say similar but I don't see it at all

Looks like a coach doing his job to me

What part is the epitome of David Brent?

It jumped out at me immediately, I’m sure I posted on this the first time I saw it. If you don’t see it fair enough, I’m not going to try and convince folk otherwise as I want him to succeed.

Hadn’t realised that the Evening News was back on script kicking Hibs before the announcement was made

The writer, Philip Johnson is a class A jambo welt. He has nothing good to say about Hibs ever.

My only time watch a Lee Johnson team was the two legs of the League Cup semi-final against Manchester City in 2018. They looked a very good team and restricted Guardiola’s team to a narrow home 2-1 home win thanks to an injury time Sergio Agüero winner.

If Johnson can get Hibs playing the way that Bristol City played then, I will be more than happy.

As someone doing their coaching badges, I actually really enjoyed it. Plenty of good advice and I thought he was communicating well with the players and letting them know that they've done well. Each to their own I guess but just because he's overly enthusiastic, that doesn't necessarily mean he's bad at it.

The "use different parts of the foot" is stupidly basic but surprisingly good advice. You see players at higher levels with nice flicks round the corner, quick passing and often at lower levels the players try to set themselves before playing a pass, slowing the play down. Getting use to flicks round the corner, first time outside of the foot passes etc is all something even professionals need to keep training.

Your team will play how they train, and he seems to enjoy fast paced technical drills, and that bodes very well for the style of play questions etc.

Many years ago I had a chat with Craig Brown about coaching. We talked about Peter Marinello who was a superstar in his day. Craig worked with him towards the end of his career at Motherwell and pinpointed a simple technique which allowed Marinello to set himself up for the cross. If he’d had that in his armoury earlier in his career, he would have been a much more successful player.

If this video isn't the epitome of David Brent..... his Hibs interviews have been fine and I hope he succeeds but I wasn't impressed watching this.

Personally think that is an incredibly brave thing to do not everyone would do it. His communication is very good to what I can see.

Yeah, keep hearing the David Brent thing but I’m not getting it either.

I think it’s when he introduced himself to the first team squad by fusing Flashdance with some MC Hammer ****.

Yeah I remember being told this by a former Hearts colleague of Peter's, might have been Chris Robertson. "All these years and Peter didn't know how to cross a ball properly".

That video in Marbella is peak Brent. Anyone who says otherwise didn't get the point of the character imo

Don’t know if I see the Brent comparison. I suppose he’s just creating an atmosphere where he’s a friend first and a boss second. Probably an entertainer third.

I do get the david brent thing but I think it’s more to do with the fact that he is talking on camera whilst at work as well as a bit of his personality.

The fact he is on camera makes it look like the office. He has to do his job but he is also aware he needs to communicate with viewer.

The rest of it I just found to be his personality. Singing a wee bit.

Ultimately, nothing in that concerns me at all. I was quite enjoying it actually.

I don’t see how anyone can watch that and be concerned (I don’t know if anyone is) but I can see how people can make the DB link.

I wonder how everyone on here would come across if they were being followed by a camera, but the remit was to do their job and also interact with the camera audience.

The majority of Hibs fans I saw that said he was like David Brent a before he was announced as our manager, that makes me think when they searched his name on Twitter they saw Sunderland fans call him it and have jumped on the bandwagon

This. It will be used by the tarts as a stick to beat him with and the same Hibs folk who were using Jack Dross, Shan Baloney etc will jump on that bandwagon too

The office was a very popular series, hope LJ is as successful.

Never watched it.

I hope he's more successful from my point of view!

If they thought he was Frasier Crane I'd have been all over it.

Exactly that. Then making out they came up with it themselves like some comedy genius. Sad.
