Sorry to be that guy but he won promotion with Barcelona B.

Every manager has, at one time or another, never had a promotion on their CV, because they've not been at a club capable, for whatever reason, of getting promotion. I would say Johnson falls into that category. Even his best Bristol teams were playoff candidates at best.

Smith took over before I was born, would you say he was welcomed as much as Grayson/Parkinson and potentially Johnson?

Yep. Comments along the lines of "Whee?", "Why are we getting in someone from York?" "Tin pot", etc.

I suppose it's amplified these days because of social media. Cheers.

Arbitrary bullshit like 'he's got experience of promotion' is how we end up with a squad of Max Powers and Tom Flanagans. The questions I want answering are 'does he play attacking football', 'does he develop players', 'does he trust youth' and 'does he affect the game positively via good game management'. From a distance Johnson always looked like a promising young manager. It seems that there are definite question marks against him from people who are closer to it. However, I'm a firm believer in getting the right structure in place and then allowing that structure to make an appointment based on those sort of criteria. If the new SpD has gone for Johnson at the end of a proper process I would hope that they liked what they heard on those types of subjects.
He had the swagger about him to say he didnt want paying if he failed to get us promoted--Has LJ got the balls to do that?

Remember Smith getting the job, on way back from Wembley, been on school trip, stayed at Crystal palace athletic complex and went to watch England schoolboys v West Germany, vaguely remembered him for playing for Stoke but what a manager he turned out to beSmith took over before I was born, would you say he was welcomed as much as Grayson/Parkinson and potentially Johnson?

If he fits the new structure and the way we want to work then it’s sound with me. As long as we f***ing play on the front foot, that’ll do me

I don't really know anything about him, never bothered my arse to study these shit leagues
But hell, I'm reading that he plays attacking football and boy could we do with some of that in our lives right now.
I've done a mindfulness course today so I'm totally zen about this now.

Johnson is not short of self-confidence. Whether he'd put his balls that far on the line, I don't know.
