mozo Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Sky Sports have reported that Yeovil board announced that Johnson is having talks with City. They will accept it as long as it goes through correct channels. City have made formal approach and so are presumably prepared to pay compensation. Club should meet Johnson soon.

mozo Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 And this site has confirmed and Steve L says: "That meeting took place yesterday and the clubs are now negotiating over a compensation payment. We have made what we consider an excellent offer to Yeovil and are awaiting their response."Let's hope these negotiations don't go on too long. I presume Johnson is happy to sign, City must be confident of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest routabout Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 This is all excellent news and a true indication of Steve Lansdown's willingness to make good his past errors. It's also a sign of ambition and I for one have a hunch that this could be a truly inspired appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Tinnion, Pulis and others City fans have found themselves confused by appointments. This is one that fans should back...IF it all goes through as we hope it will!

I'll also admit that my faith in him was severely misplaced and that I got that one very wrong.However, Tinns' appointment and Johnson's appointment are two completely different situations. Tinns' was a question of faith and hope of his possible potential. Johnson has a track record for me to base my opinion on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson has a track record for me to base my opinion on.We had no choice but to be hopeful about Tinnion, but we all knew there was a risk involved. What's the point in being a miserable cynic after all - get you nowhere in life. I backed Tinnion all the way up until the Swansea game, then accepted that no amount of faith was going to make him a success. I'll give Johnson as long as I possibly can. Unless he really is a miracle worker I still think that this season should be seen as yet another one of rebuilding. Next season johnson should have HIS team in place as well as his tactics. Lets hope he is ruthless when it comes to instilling HIS tough training regime, not to mention genuine discipline, on and off the pitch. Most importantly for us fans, let's enjoy the feelgood factor that new hope brings, and maybe it'll rub off on the players.Have you seen our official site since this morning Sky Sports was reporting from the Yeovil angle too, quoting their chairman.

Johnson has to rebuild this club, as much as his position allows. This season is one of rebuilding and also something of a dry run for next season's unstoppable domination of League One, then England, Europe and then onto the world!

GJ will have us challenging at the right end of the table soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
