Several players had to man handle him out of the room. The next day senior players went to SL refusing to play for him again. Hang on.... So the OS said he left by mutual consent and made no mention of a dressing room incident. And you’re saying that the truth was not contained in the OS But...in answer to anything about the club you only say you’ll believe things when they’re on the OS.

dREDful Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Bring him back so he can call Robbored back into his office and terrorise him again.

Fair interpretation to make - but put yourself in the club’s position, an embarrassing position that their manager had being brawling with a player, have grievously insulted him and that the other players had subsequently refused to play for him?

I’ll again remind you - The Second most successful manager we’ve had post war I guess you didn’t bother celebrating the promotion or going to Wembley ? Maybe you could answer the questions I posed instead of deflecting And add - Name me a manager who’s left and we didn’t need a rebuild ? I assume he didnt celebrate the double Cotterill gave us because he hasn't achieved success higher up since. What a bizarre man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 39 minutes ago, downendcity said: Who’d happily take GJ’s ceiling with us just now? I wouldn't, because he was incapable of managing anybody who dared challenge his ideas, as well as anybody who had a big personality, especially if they were from a "bigger club" so to speak. Sound familiar? With the talent needed nowadays to get to where we have consistently been in this league, which to his credit his son achieved, GJ would not be able to control the personality's required. Was great whilst he was here, but the end turned sour as he realised he was out of ideas, and fell out with too many players (as well as results etc). He went on to manage clubs lower down the ladder for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 If I remember rightly when he joined Torquay he was on a £200k bonus to get them back into the football league.

Wolf Island Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Not justifying Mr Johnson’s actions but Sproule better known for being tricky off the pitch than on it.

Up until January we were fantastic then limped over the line. Everything from that final put us back about 5 years, poor signings, poor football, massive wage budget for the time and average players on long contracts. He was good for us don't get me wrong, not a great long term Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Clearly just a rumour but I suspect he would get the team fired up in the unlikely event it was true. Could galvanise team, fans, club although split opinion may mean the second of those is an issue. He did great work for us, perhaps didn't get the best out of some of his latter signings but I'd have given him one last chance to rebuild as he saw fit. PS, People said he was a busted flush after us. Untrue- okay at Northampton he bombed, however his sacking at Peterborough was probably borderline. However he returned to Yeovil a long from their glory days in early 2012. Kept them up...then took them up. To the Championship for first time in their history- for one year only they were the top side in the South West. Remarkable tbh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
