He is more likely to sit in his ivory tower, putting his finger up to his lips at any criticism. SSShhhhhhhhhh! Naughty City fans. tfj 40 minutes ago, Taxi for Johnson said: ....... or he might be so upset, he chokes on his prawn and light dill-mayo sandwich on soda bread half-time treat. If he's even there, he wasn't at the Fulham game which prompted his 'negative fans' comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Cooper put a spirit into the club, players and fans, what has LJ done apart from a gutless lie and then climb down last week?, I think it's you that has the positive memory selection. Yes it was much better in 1982 when the board were having internal spats all the time and effectively bankrupted the club, much better than having SL as owner. However I take your point about the fans, but whenever the club is at a low point there is the hard core of 5000 or so who support the club whatever the situation so the spirit can be better in those times.

Fontaineofallknowledge Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 3 hours ago, AshtonGreat said: Absolutely a new manager would have time to make a difference. I guarantee that if Warnock had been available, he could've turned this mess around. Most people on here do not want a return to League One and watching matches in a half-empty stadium. There'll be even less of an atmopshere than there is now. But he isn't available. Who could/would come in and turn this mess around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A surprisingly large percentage of these kinds of posts are coming from those who have an exceedingly short posting history... Supporting BCFC and the current incumbents are different things, can some people really not grasp two concepts at once? Don't tar all posters with a short posting history with the same brush! The downward spiral of this club is as depressing as it is avoidable. How people can can still defend this omnishambles is beyond me! #johnsonout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except SL. It will be interesting as I don't think it's ever been done before. I remember Alan Dicks about the same age and he made lots of mistakes to start with and the fans wanted him out but Harry Dolman kept faith with him and we went on to the club's best period in modern times. Maybe SL thinks LJ will learn and improve over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting for an explanation of what LJ has that warrants all of this, beyond soundbites and unsubstantiated waffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club was bankrupt long before 1982 just being kept afloat by selling our best players, making huge cutbacks and eventually the AG 8, my point is that low point was several years in the making not in 5 short months and by a team of total inadequates. That shaped our club and the fanbase to where we are today and 1986 Freight Rover cup final showed the possibilities of the type of support that was hungry for sucess. My first game was 1958 this season without a doubt is the most soul destroying in all of my time, 5 months of even barely 2 hours of false dawns it's a ******* circus because our owner couldn't admit that he had ****** up for what the 8th time manager wise in December and bring in somebody to give them an honest shot of keeping us up.
