Eddie Notgetinya Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Just had a look out of interest. The first two signatures I saw read: "results speak for there selfs" and "Lee Johnson is a ****" Nothing like putting your point across in an eloquent manner. I haven't signed it for what it's worth. The link is below as I know some get upset when they're not pasted in. http://m.bristolpost.co.uk/disgruntled-bristol-city-fan-sets-up-petition-calling-for-head-coach-lee-johnson-to-be-sacked/story-30138847-detail/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrongagain Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Read it too, author not been a city fan for long, only going to games a couple of seasons, never managed GCSE English either! - read the thing through and felt like a teacher, wanting to get the red biro out, do some corrections and end with "must try harder" That could apply to his target also! needless to say I did not add my vote, even though something has to give!

We live in hope Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I see a fair few posts where the so called grammatical elite are picking up posters for spelling. Well done you. After all writing and reading is all about communication and if you understood enough to spell check then the message was clearly delivered and did not require your superior intellect! I applaud those who have the courage to follow through with their complaint with concrete actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 It's an interesting way of protesting . I liked it in the eighties when we marched through town for the striking miners, maybe those who want LJ out should do a march . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 What I don't understand is the mentality of our fans. I say this because when we have no manager and are about to make an appointment you see posts like "whoever we appoint they need time to do their job" but the second we have a manager who isn't getting the results it turns straight to "they need to go!". I guess what these fans mean is "we want a manager who will never let us get anywhere near relegation in any league". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelksRed Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I find this really frustrating, I accept that results have not been good.....but I feel that this hatred of LJ has to stop. I'm not a advocate of his, I too share the frustrations of many other supporters.... 1. Bad form from the guy who posted the petition. 2. Bristol Post.....seriously......have you got nothing more exciting to report.....professional journalism? 3. Embarrassing for the club.....potentially harmful in future transfer windows (apparently LJ has at least 1 more in him). 4. We support the team...not the coaching custodian.......COYRs 5. See you all on Wednesday to get behind the Boys against Fulham!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
