CodeRed Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 19 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: While he shouldn't come back, I don't get the antipathy of some fans towards the Johnsons. While he wasn't an amazing player, thought LJ did a solid job as part of the team GJ lest we forget pulled us up rather quickly from the post Wilson slump under Tinnion and in 2 and a half short, thrilling years had us a game away from the PL. Amazing feel good factor for a lot of his reign too. Yeah he made mistakes and yeah things went sour towards the end, but overall he did great things for us. The last manager to achieve 3 successive finishes in this level of 10th or above? Alan Dicks I believe. Get some of the criticism, but overall think they're in credit. Yes he did a good job but we should look forward now, he's just been sacked by a club at the bottom of L2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider_boy Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Perhaps he can get a job at another club with players we want to sign. We'll lend them some of our kids in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a disaster and Lee would be more likely to walk than Gary ever would, so would passengers kindly set their watch back 8 years, it'd be a bumpy ride.

Besides, I don't see a DoF-type position being utilised while Ashton is at the club, there'd be too much crossover between the 2 roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 6 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: Maybe questions have been asked as to why their most valuable asset was sold to his son? Because his son manages a football team two divisions higher and his son felt that their most valuable asset was worth adding to his own squad, particularly after a fine goal scoring season. His son, after selling his own most valuable asset, was on the lookout for a replacement. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was either going to be us or Peterborough, our money is as good as anyone’s and he had enough time left of the transfer window. I only saw the news a short while ago, there was talk of his job being under pressure but I guess their minds were made up as surely a draw should have saved him for a while. I don’t think he will work again maybe, doubt if he wants to move away from the area and with his heart scare he must see work/life differently now.

Carey 6 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Love GJ but his method of management only works for a couple of years before players grow tired of it. Seems to have happened everywhere he’s been. Think they’ve won something like 5 in 30 odd games (not too dissimilar to our form) and the time was probably right for him to go.
