Robin101 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 If Johnson is referring to the fact that us, the fans, have more power than the club would like... Well then I'm pleased we have power. it's OUR club. Ideally, it would be run by us, the fans. Much like Ebbsfleet United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin101 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 no he's not he's saying once fans turn on you its only a matter of time your out of a job, Nothing to do with fans power Maybe. He says so something like "once the fans turn it can be very hard to run the club the way you (as in the board) want." So if they're not running it the way THEY want, who's way are they running it?

mcbcfc Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Reading it, it sounds like Johnson is saying other chairmen may have made the decision quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myol'man Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 He says its sad when someone rises through the ranks to become manager, because the next door is usually the exit. Says Keith got the job through loyalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFree Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Gary Johnson has told talkSPORT he is not surprised Bristol City decided to part company with manager Keith Millen, claiming his position had become untenable. The Ashton Gate club sit rock bottom of the Championship having managed just one win in their opening ten games of the season, and following a 5-0 defeat to Blackpool at the weekend it was announced that Millen's contract had been terminated with immediate effect. And Johnson, who managed City for five years leading them to the Championship play-off final, reckons that the discontent among supporters about results meant that Millen was increasingly unlikely to turn the club's fortunes around. He said: "I don't think it was a shock to be honest. They were bottom of the league and there was a mass discontent amongst the supporters and once it gets like that it almost gets untenable. "It certainly makes it very difficult for the manager to manage and for the club to run their business how they would like to. "Steve Lansdowne who is the major shareholder was the chairman and he is very patient with his managers and he backs them." Nothing to discuss really as its all true it's all Lee's fault...

Mangotsfield Red Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I reckon you're reading too much into what GJ said, Robin101. He's simply stating something that I don't think too many would disagree with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth discussing? No, not worth discussing. Gary Johnson always had a great gift for stating the blinding bloody obvious. As I remember it Gary left after a bit of a shoving and posturing match in the half-time drssing room at Home Park. And he wasn't arguing with fans in there.

RedZepperin Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 An interesting set of quotes there from GJ. It's almost as if he's relaying the reasons given to him when he was sacked by SL i.e. sorry to see you go mate but sometimes the will of the fans is just too much and I've got a business to run.

Robin101 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 You must be joking. Haha yeah. Well...sort of. If we weren't all clueless then I'd stick by my point. However, this time I'll be abandoning my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
