Major Isewater Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 At the time of life when most people are thinking of putting their feet up and preparing for retirement Gary Johnson just keeps going and here on OTIB we all know why . This 'one trick pony ' and ' Conference manager ' looks like performing his ' one trick ' again as his club Cheltenham sit proudly at the top of their league . Well done GJ ,keep it up . I don't want this to start a Robbo bashing thread ,it's just a bit of fun and a shout out to an ex-City manager . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 He may only have the one trick of getting clubs promoted out of the lower leagues, but it is a very good one and he does it time and again. Well done Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Major, have you noticed that Robbored seems to be mentioned on here quite a lot recently, is it fair to suggest he's become the most famous OTIB member? With respect to GJ, I know he's busy with his managerial duties, but wonder if he's been down to the Gate yet to see it's development. Be interesting to know whether he remains fond of BCFC, and what he thinks of our current position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to be very impressed by the ground and the team. He had his usual cheeky chappy TV persona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored is ' famous ' on OTIB he plays the role of pantomine villain very well and is less agressive than some on here whose testosterone levels are a bit on the high side . As for GJ , i'm sure he looks back on his time here with pleasure ,it was , for a time, a very special moment in his and the club's history .

Personally, I love GJ, and remain in the camp that he should've never been sacked when he was - should have stayed until the end of the season and then had the chance to clear out the squad and revamp the team.

reddevon Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 At half time last night ,he gave a variation of the"mother in goal" team-talk, by telling his players that some of their performances would "not make their mums proud of them"!

havanatopia Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 It would be rather coincidental if Yeovil go the other way. Keeping Sturrock, i think, is a sure fire way of achieving that. Feel sorry for the guy but giving him the reins in the first place was a huge error of judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray White Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 It's even more credible when you consider that he basically had to build an entirely new team over the summer. Well done GJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'm another one who 'sits well' with GJ. Am hoping he can bring Cheltenham back up at the first attempt as CHAMPIONS, not like the other guy who brought them back via playoffs. Good luck mate from another old trier.

Robbored Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I don't why but I'm still amazed at how many on here still love GJ. Their love is based on how close City got to the PL and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also based on the unity he helped create with the fans, the songs, one liners etc. Plus he clearly still loves us as was evidenced at the Forest game! Love him!

SyntaxtheRed Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 GJ does't seem to like being out of work and seems to always take the first job that comes along.

And, rescuing us from the bottom of the league and restoring pride to the board, players and supporters (bounce around the ground) and getting us promoted to the championship and as above... Plus sustaining us in a league that we have only just got back to, due to the mind numbing awful managers that followed and the utter dross they and their players served up, due to a lack of pride, that it took a supporter to address our dressing room to finally change....Millen, Mc 0-4 at home at HT Innes, Sean O Dismal....Yeah never know what you've got til you (plural) have hounded it out!

Personally think he should've gone earlier than he did, we had some great times and some awful times as well.... It was his team he assembled so why would he clear it out? and he never really strengthened or 'revamped' when he had numerous chances to do so, his scouting policy was a joke and etc. That saying he was one of the top managers at this club which shows how average we really are. I'm hoping Cotterill surpasses him so this love-in with Johnson will end, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
