Trying to drag this club into a modern way of thinking is an impossible task, don't know why SL bothers, if I were him I would just let it go and let all the Gas City stuff 'one of our own or not' idiots continue to be happy being very much a third division outfit. Those banners are pathetic, and really shows the World we are just a bunch of ignorant losers. Embarrassing.. I agree, those banners are pathetic. But I don't agree that every player who has ever played for us is 'one of our own', especially if they've also played for numerous other clubs. We'll just have to agree to differ, but I don't think my reasoning is 'pathetic.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of angry and dissatisfied supporters. Remember in the eastend someone had a SOD banner . That didn't go down to well . Be very interesting next couple of home games that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But judging by what is written LJ and SL have had very easy compared to managers and chairmen in the 90's where the toxic nature of the fan base was evident to certain encumbants. It will be interesting to see if these banners get inside the ground (if they are allowed in, I bet there will be checks for the next home game) what the groundswell of opinion is. I would only suggest taking the Johnson out banners not the more abusive ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From fans I know it is about 50/50 Johnson in Johnson out. Clearly the poll here indicates different, either way there will be enough people with differing oponions for potential flash points inside AG. It will come down to if you hear the dolman join in with "we want Johnson out" invariably as that type of chant has made it around to the Dolman history says the manager normally goes. God help him if some of the old guys who used to reside in the Williams start chuntering an booing I don't think SL has read the situation at all well and it could be the first time real anger is thrown in his direction from the stands.

Super Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 What I will say is at least the guy is fronting it out and not hiding. We have seen before when the going gets tough managers like Copout take the easy way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I would hope Johnson would have more pressing issues than outing Dwarf Small - who cares about his sexuality? FFS, get on with coaching the players Johnson !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has gained a reputation that is currently unravelling. He would be stupid to resign as he could be hard pushed to find another job. If I were him I would be sitting it out to the bitter end hoping I could turn the results around. But I would not envy the environment he has to work in now. Coppell on the other hand was lied to so walked. He had history of doing it,so I wonder why he was given the job. If he was sold a line and the goods not delivered there is no reason for him to stay and Imo did the right thing. He had nothing to prove and didn't need to put up with the BS. It would be interesting to see if SL had learned anything in the years that have passed, and if he would have handled the appointment of Coppell differently now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hankey Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Every person has the right to protest. We live in a democracy. Im not saying I agree with all of it, especially not the personal ones, but I don't see anything wrong with the banners. If people choose to protest inside the ground at the next home game, then fair enough to them. Plenty of other football clubs, including Forest last week, protest to show their disapproval with what is happening to their club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust? Well I am feeling a little let down by that right now by our sackable managers run. So yes banners can be embarrassing for different reasons. OK, you've made a little cock-up CH, however all may not be lost..... If the picture can be superimposed with a new image a certain Mr Hucker would no doubt be interested in making you an offer for the banner. (nothing belittles or embarrasses him, infact I'm sure he'd be right up for it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 One of our own. Nothing wrong with it- my understanding is it is generally for an academy player or a local lad in the side maybe started elsewhere but still local and no bad thing too. Murray and Tinnion also merit it even though not via academy. Fans nearly fighting over it...yes I remember that in the dreaded Pulis era too- I thought the fans would turn if we lost to Preston so I am surprised it's taken this long in some ways. Banners SHOULD be allowed in though I don't agree with the personal insults (subject to any objections by SAG who could overrule maybe) but that aside it's a free country.

Not sure how he gained such a reputation as an unremarkable 3rd division manager? Very personable, a good talker and self publicist, young - so reasonable to view him as having potential - but very irregular results, and I've never been convinced this high opinion was widely shared outside the City boardroom.

If you believe journalists and our spokesmen then he has a reputation. It has been mentioned in the rags. Footballing websites and Footballing magazines.. all that adds up to a reputation. If you or I believe in it that's neither here or there. There is enough written about him in a positive nature that gives off the appearance of a up and coming reputation.

(Accept that's not necessarily your personal view TRL) Indeed. That is how I see it. Don't get me wrong I would like to see him succeed. I do not like chopping and changing of managers. But the atmosphere is going to turn toxic soon and that will not help anyone... so I hope he goes on a 5 or 6 match winning run before the club is bought down by huge divisions that are currently growing.

Hope you were singing "David James, he's one of our own" if you believe your stuff? Anyone who is a member of our football club, a player, management, staff and supporters are all one of are own in my opinion. You don't have to be born in Bristol.
