Eco Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Inferred on Points West that he might be off if Yeovil's board aren't ambitious enough, if so wonder where his travels may possibly take him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 How ambitious can they realistically be? Never gonna top 10k attendance in their dreams. They just can't create enough turnover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extonsred Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 probably is more potential at Rovers. As a neutral manager I know which I would opt for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Birmingham's a good call, he's a very good manager who nearly got us into the prem so he'll want a club with potential so he can try it again. It won't happen with Yeovil, as Martin O'Neill did with Wycombe he's taken Yeovil as far as they could go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm afraid I'm with Robbored on this one. He took Yeovil as far as he could, and then... For "Yeovil" above substitute City. So many short memories on here. We were woeful at the end of his tenure, a side full of (mostly ex-Yeovil) players past their best or never good enough to start with, playing mindless hoofball. There's only so far that motivation and bluster can take a side. Once we lost our belief - around the early part of 2009, IIRC - then it was all downhill. <<Prepares for backlash>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree that given the budget at Yeovil, he's achieved miracles Victim of his own success after that brilliant first season in the C'ship. 10th the next season was also a very good finish. Eventually he did panic, he was inexperienced at that level and he was allowed to keep on spending/wasting money on loan players / permanent signings. The players that got us up but weren't really good enough for the C'ship were also handed big money, lengthy contracts which was a ridiculous decision and seemed to take the edge off their performances thereafter.

Johnson is a one trick pony who has never been able to handle big named players and within weeks he'd be sacked just like he was at Posh and Northampton. Though I'm a Johnson fan, there is an element of trith in what you say. However, I don't think handling big named players was an issue at Posh and Northampton. He was fairly successful at Posh, but he had a disagreement with the chairman (who wanted Darren Ferguson back). Northampton was a failure, but this happens to all managers.

glynriley Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 No where near. Really? We've had 20 managers since Dicks left, I'd put 2 only ahead of GJ. Cooper and Jordan. Who else have you got in mind to say "No where near." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Perhaps he's learnt from his experience of being 'unable to manage big name players'. He could do a decent job at any L1 club I reckon, at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
