bucksred Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just like the board who saw us nearly go out if business offering players long term deals when they weren't good enough. True, and what was our debt back in 79/80/81/82? a timely reminder if we needed it of our current crap position... Quote Link to comment

Esmond Million's Bung Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) It all started with Johnson after a fluke season offering poor players long term contracts holding us back. LJ was here for 5½ season. McAllister for six. Carey, Skuse and Nyatanga are still here. What a load of total BOLLOX. Tell me one thing Tommy, did you know and say this at the time? or did you like everybody enjoy the ride?. I'll tell you what if that was fluke season, please god let's have a few more of them before I die. Edited April 16, 2013 by Esmond Million's Bung Quote Link to comment
iWurzel Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Sorry but the blame lies well and truly at the board's door. They ultimately control everything that happens at this club, from managerial appointments to financial matters. In every department we are in an embarrassing state and must have a thorough change and a fresh start next season. Quote Link to comment

Hes right Esmond, it was a fluke season, the same team failed to repeat it the following season, and those players referred to have been part of Johnson's, Millen's & McInne's relegation campaigns. That first season was fantastic, but undoubtedly a fluke... Quote Link to comment

bucksred Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 The buck stops at the top, the chairmen of the board got us here they can get us out of here................will be a long wait though; 40mill of debt, if thats correct, it suggests a very long wait.....wonder how long THIS time?

TomoBCFC Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Its always seems when we start the season well we end it badly...hopefullybwe move on next season and play some good football but most importantly get the right results... hopefully the younger lads can hack it! Quote Link to comment

Not easy to complain as contracts were made up in secrecy. It was a fluke season on +1 in goal difference. thank god for very much of the season benched genious of trunde and Noble. .

That first season was fantastic, but undoubtedly a fluke... not sure you can say the same team / players failed to repeat it. johnson dramatically changed the tactics somewhere toward the end of that first season, and played much more narrow, direct football the following season and it was the beginning of the demise. the promotion and playoff season were based on somewhat more open play, and a heck of a lot of spirit Quote Link to comment
redeye Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Not convinced with SOD's tactics - and yet many mercilessly slate DM. I hope GJ gets promotion - regardless of the result against his son this evening. Appreciate the seasons we had with him. Quote Link to comment

Jesus anybody could have seen it the season after even David Blunketts guide dog FFS, that's not seeing it before it happened though. in football management most managers have a formula which they stick to because it brings them results, when it starts going wrong they go into panic mode and do things they would normally not do, sometimes it works but usually it dosen't and that is exactly what happend with GJ and it took him until he returned to Yeovil to realise that. and Millen and DMC despite signing their own players always reverted back to GJ's failures and that can hardly be blamed on GJ.
