He's obviously a coach feeling the pressure. There's only so many times that you can be 'streaky" and get away with it. People are getting tired of it all now. He seems to be losing it after very bad performance. He got it wrong today on a number of decisions. He Should have had the humility to admit it to the Press afterwards. The scenes at end were embarrassing, with Frank trying to shake his hand. He felt professionally embarrassed by being shown up on the football field; and not for the first time this season is looking at another pitchside ban.

Yes he would. He’d take no notice of their views. SL is the main man - nothing major happens at AG without his approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly there were none to most of us, grasping at straws ? Fact is with the transfer window open, if , and a massive if, a change was to made, then it will happen PDQ to give who ever a chance ? Warnock anyone !! Available after 'retiring' I just wonder ? I would take Warnock in a heartbeat!.... We love you Colin...Really we do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacki Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I’d be amazed if SL got rid of Johnson now. He’s half a season into a 4 year deal, him and Ashton seem to work very closely together and talk a lot about ‘mutual trust’, and Johnson is absolutely intrinsic to everything the club are trying to do. He buys into the business model, is happy to trade players and his overall record until recently is one of steady improvement. Regardless of how woeful the current form is, I just can’t see LJ being given his marching orders while we’re 2 points off the play offs. I’m not saying this is my view, just that this is how I Imagine the club to be thinking at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3City Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'm not really in the LJ "in" or "out" camp, I just want to see a successful team and club. However the Shrewsbury game now becomes massively important. Surely the guaranteed fan backlash (should we lose) would leave the owners with little choice...?

Agreed. Jon Lansdown was made MD and is now Vice-Chairman which are positions which hold quite a degree of responsibility and I am sure allow him to make major decisions albeit with the backing of the board.

A decent point and I’m sure Johnson’s position will not be scrutinised seriously until the seasons end or unless season ticket sales bomb. It’s a shame, referencing your other responses on this thread and many others, that you have to be such an abrasive, arrogant troll far too much of the time.
