Frenchay Red Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Jesus, this is heart breaking. Bit like watching a lot of games this season. That aside though, away from the football ground seems a likeable guy. But success is not built on the basis of being likeable, especially in football.

It was one from a few years back, black one with a red trim around the neck. Was probably donated in one of those things where they ask for old shirts, and post them out to Africa for kids to play football in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been even more expensive!! (Saying that, there is probably some deserving person wearing my old Gold and Blue City shirt (got it for a fiver from the club shop in the sale, realised very quickly that fiver would have been better spent on cider and donated the shirt to one of the charities that send footy shirts over seas)).

Mrs Miggins Pie Shop Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 There can be few other ex-Managers who would have character and lack of resentment 24 hours after a departure, to do a similar interview. All credit to Gary and Steve Lansdown for the way they have conducted themselves with such dignity. Gary's CV must be one of the most impressive in the Football League - 3 promotions and no relegations - all the best Gary & thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakes MK2 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 A complete and utter top guy, a terrible loss really is, the players in the end got the better of him, was very heart breaking listening to GJ, wish him all the best in the future, still wish it was with us!

While I agree that Johnson going is probably for the best I also feel that the fans could have got behind the team more. Hopefully, we can all get abit more positive now and support our team!

I echo that and would add, that more of this sort of PR would have perhaps helped previously. But maybe this only came with the relief it was all over...I don't know but you cant help but admire him for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghornred Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 A great phone call,it must be a first for a leaving manager.The way that this has been dealt with can only enhance his reputation and I can see us meeting him as an opposition manager very soon.

Greedo Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 A laugh and a joke until the end.. Curbishley won't be the same. TBFH, I would rather have a man in charge of my football club who is a decent manager and knows what he is doing and gets results and ultimately us up the table than a manager out if his depth but that's OK because sometimes he's funny and makes jokes!!!!!

Get a grip! Out of his depth is rather harsh, we've finished above at least 14 other teams twice in this league. Gary got set in his ways yes, but, aside from results, how many other teams have a quote thread for their boss? I know a guy at Radio Bristol who found GJ a pleasure to work with because of his honesty and charisma. The guy is more than just a result churner. His vastly likeable personality IMO is probably the main reason we will all miss him, along with the great memories he provided along the way. Yes we are in a results driven business, but there is more to it than that, ultimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that Johnson going is probably for the best I also feel that the fans could have got behind the team more. Hopefully, we can all get abit more positive now and support our team! Lets put this into perspective we had just let in SIX goals to a local rival and to be honest could have been more ! If you personally think that you could have been more supportive fair enough, but ONLY during the end of the Doncaster game was there any real anti Johnson chanting during the game, booing at half / full time is not really going to affect the match. Many fans still spent hard earned money travelling home and away so think to start saying the fans could do more is a bit of a hollow arguement. In one way it was good to here GJ on the radio as there are always things that you want to hear, but please move on, you are now the FORMER manager of our club and good luck for whatever the future holds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
