Nicked this of the Preston forum- Johnson's managerial record at Oldham, Barnsley and Bristol doesn't make great reading. From 199 games his record reads W74 D51 L74. Never took any club higher than 9th in the league. He seems adept at getting teams out of relegation battles - and then jumping ship. Guided Bristol to 18th last season. They are sat in 18th again this season. He is on borrowed time if that's the limit of his abilities. Its fine being young and highly rated but ask Karl Robinson... it doesn't make you a great manager.
Karl Robinson is an awful example of a good manager, he's spent millions on 14 players (and counting) . Oh hang on .........
The two amigos are at it again, I would love to see LJ succeed, just to shut you two up, it probably wont happen, but I just hope it does.
there we go, you want shot of him, yet if he jacked it in you"d say he was jumping ship, he really cant win.
'yet if he jacked it in you"d say he was jumping ship' No I wouldn't, I'd say he'd need a straightjacket. Where else on Earth would he be afforded the unquestioned backing of another Steve Lansdown. Junior is very lucky to be SL's chosen Puppet.
He's been in post almost a year and it's only now that you are telling us that he is very lucky? You kept that quiet
RP.. love you to bits and I agree with the vast majority of your posts.. But I cant get this LJ blind hatred and believe me I reckon he has made some catastrophic mistakes and wouldn't be bothered too much if he moved on tomorrow.. but really????
Boring Boring Boring, same old! We know you two don't like him, well Redprintt doesn't, Red Robin will change his mind if we get a couple of wins!!
Oh I've been keeping eye on things just having been posting much because all the threads were getting a bit repetitive
Red robin will be saying.. "I told you all along he was a quality manager" if he got us promoted.. Just like he always rated Ayling??? and never said Tomlin should play wide or up front????
Never said play him wide,did say play him alongside Tammy as there was no alternative. But have screamed play him in his correct position central behind two strikers.
Banksy Boring and repetitive. And 9 losses from 10 isn't ? Watching Ashton was like something from the Politburo years back. I can't stand the smooth talking individual or the idiot feeding him 'questions'. We'll have a bounce now, and again when the next shed load arrive in the summer, but in the end the runt effect will see us crash next season. I love you to bits as well, and 1 or 2 more, I hope I can rely on you to remind remind a few on here when Lansdown has to remove Junior. Players will suss him, it will only be time. Over and out.
Blimey Redprintt, what are you going to say if we get 3 wins on the bounce.....oh I know.....Zillions poured at it, down to someone else blah blah... Broken Record comes to mind!! All managers go eventually and when the time comes, we won't have to wait long for your predictable rant.... Will you give the next manager the same amount of grief? God help us if he's related to the Johnsons!!
Bill Nicholson, blimey that's going back a bit.......those were the days when a job was for life!! Arsene I grant you and although I've always hated Arsenal I actually think they are a role model for all football clubs, build the infrastructure, get the stadium payed for and put the club in a position it will run without a multi oil fueled billionaire having to bail them out when things don't go well.. Stability without chopping and changing for long term success.
