    Good luck GG - sure you'll kick its arse.

    Not 100% sold on Johnson but we MUST give him time to sort out this mess - Hopefully get us back on the front foot and actually attacking teams.

    Still plenty of time to turn this ship around and get promotion.

    He should have listened to that feedback and fed back that it is a horror show of an appointment. Stinks of Donald and co TBH.

    After two wins our bi-polar fan base will declare him the greatest manager the club has ever had

    It's a disgrace mate but when you've had acid thrown in your face you're not going to attract the best looking lasses.

    He’ll definitely need to dabble in January if he wants to play with pace.

    Positives- attacking football, develops youth, young enough to improve himself.
    Negatives- he’s so far proved to be a bit **** really in terms of achievement of footballing goals like promotion for instance.
    Will get my support as they all do but at least ten managers mentioned I’d have ahead of him.

    The most important part of this was always getting the sporting director in and a structure. Johnson plus Speakman may be a match made in heaven. You never know. I still believe that on paper he becomes the best manager in League One. He’s only 39 as well. For his CV at that age is quite impressive.

    As somebody alluded to earlier if Poyet had never been mentioned this reaction would not be half as bad. Johnson has been a solid manager playing good football in the league above us for years

    You at least use the attributes you've got left and do your best.

    Those positives are the main issues people had with Parkinson at this level.

    Let’s give him a chance.

    Be great to get someone with a huge CV but we shouldn't assume people can't develop. He's still very young and will undoubtedly have learnt a lot in these past few years. This is a huge opportunity for him, one in which he will be hugely determined to succeed in.

    I wish him luck, and as long as he is positive in his approach, and gives his all, he has my support.

    Not my choice but good solid Championship standard manager, plays attacking football and yeah hasnt set the world alight but he has a lot of respect and potential and fits the overall structure of the club moving forward. We really have to start looking at the bigger picture and give the new regime a chance.

    Poyet lost to man city in the league cup final Johnson could only do that in the semi final he’s useless man.
    In all seriousness lets get behind the bloke and give him full support

    Quite pleased with Johnson. Progressive, student of the game, has grown up around it. Names have been linked that I would have been more excited by but there have also been names that I wouldn't have touched with a bargepole. Crucial thing is, there's a clear plan if his appointment is based on his willingness and suitability to work within the framework the club is trying to create.
