Collis Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Not really a very good source, but my friend who is a Norwich fan, has a family member on their board (not Delia!) said that GJ is one of the shortlisted managers they are after! Seems quite likely to me, he had no problem leaving Yeovil so surely it will be a chance he wants to take if he is offered the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taunton_City Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Even if true I'm sure GJ would not take it, he is not someone to leave a job unfinished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collis Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Even if true I'm sure GJ would not take it, he is not someone to leave a job unfinished!But could he refuse the pay packet and the chance of premiership football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 But could he refuse the pay packet and the chance of premiership football? he left yeovil because he had taken them probably as far as they could go and it was a good time to move on.He won't leave City while there is alot of hard work to be done, chance of Premiership football?

barry_manc Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 he left yeovil because he had taken them probably as far as they could go and it was a good time to move on.Except now they are above us in the league....He's proven that his loyalty is, at best, self preserved, so, there's a possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich behave?Well Yeovil's current manager obviously thought he could take them further. Norwich are a well supported club,there gates are more than double ours, being realistic they have a far better chance of getting into the money league than we ever will. Infact they werent there to long ago were they. Ten years ago they were playing the likes of Inter Milan in europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avonmouth Docker Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Not really a very good SAUCE, but my friend who is a Norwich fan, ......I don't think that Gary Johnson would cut the MUSTARD with a club like Norwich!!.And fancy having Delia ruining your Half Time team talk by shouting; We need a 12th man here. Where are you? Where are you? Let's be 'avin you! Come on! We have a better chance than ever of going up this year, so long as GJ is shrewed when the transfer window next opens, and we'll be playing the likes of Norwich next season.So i think GJ will stay put for now!!, Delia couldn't afford Lee and Perrings also.. Thought that they were at Worcester??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 He turned down Derby and another Championship club while at Yeovil. I suspect he would not want to leave City untill he manages to get us promoted, which would look very good on his CV after years of let downs.

Robbored Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Everytime a managerial vacancy arises Johnsons' name is linked to it.There was a similar thread last week.There are lots of managers out of work -Joe Royle (ex Norwich player) Kevin Blackwell,Brian Horton, Nigel Spackman the list is almost endless.Why would Norwich go for someone where they would have to pay compensation when there are plenty of decent managers unemployed?

bh_red Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Well Yeovil's current manager obviously thought he could take them further. yes, but he came in fresh and had a start with a whole new team, whereas Johnson had taken them from a decent Conference side, to League 2 Champions and into our league, he then needed a new challenge johnson isn't one to quit halfway through a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FACT. Money talks,if another club came in and offered him a lot more than hes on ( which is what we did) he would have to think about it.Who knows, he may have something written into his contract about talking etc to other clubs.

If he was just in it for the money surely he would have been better off at a Championship club?Possibly, i don't have a clue whether he would be interested or not. He is obviously well known over in that part of the country though as he started his coaching career at Cambridge Utd.I just had a look at the Norwich evening post online and his name is not mentioned in there.

Port Said Red Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I think Norwich will look to bring in someone who knows the area etc, maybe with links to the club. It's quite remote and you need someone who is used to the travelling involved etc. They will give an ew man a bit of time to build there though which might attract GJ. I can't see it though not having brought his son, Weale, Jevons and physio guy here to build a dynasty, tp rip all that up again would be a very strange move.

The question is will he go for an interview for Norwich?I apply and look for jobs within my workplace. Doesnt mean I get them but I apply. MAybe Johnson would apply for the experience I don't know. I cant see him leaving the club now though. He left Yeovil because he felt that he could not take them any futher. However he can take us much further in my opinion.

Admin Ian M Posted October 2, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 http://www.oddschecker.com/betting/mode/o/...03x/sid/1039601Even Mark Robins is considered a more likely candidate by the bookmakers than Gary Johnson.Also, it is my understanding that GJ was offered the job by Derby. Yeovil gave them permission to approach him & he said 'no thanks'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
