FFS....

The odds only shorten because people are lumping on. The bookies have no additional insight

For the most-part, however, City look to play at a high tempo, playing forwards as much as possible in order to not allow the opposition to settle.

For the record I’m trying to find positives in the appointment rather than thinking he’s the right man.

Idiots. First ‘streak’ of bad results he’s on a hiding to nothing.

 

[Ashley In!!]

The 0.8% who voted for him in the poll will be pleased anyway.

 

[Chucky Puddin]

Fact or opinion?

Told it’s done by someone I know who works at Leeds as head of emerging talent! He’s been working with Johnson’s agent in the past few hours and said it’s done!

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Can't say id be over the moon mind, coming from someone who doesn't care much who the manager is, it's not ideal.

Inasmuch as the poor sod will be fighting an uphill battle to convince the fans from day one, yes. Johnson seems to have a lot more self-belief than the last manager in that position though. We'd certainly have more 4-3s than 1-0s mind.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

People piling money on the back of rumours shock.

The poster was only pointing it out

Disappointing.

Will 100% get behind him though.

Sod it, I'm gona have a full on meltdown. Throw me cat at the wall and everything.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Does he have the job?

 

[Thatheaderman]

I wouldn't even know who Johnson was if he held a door open for me in the Bridges.

 

[Mackem Tommy]

Fairly anti-climatic if it's Johnson but I'll get behind him.

 

[Disco_Pants93]

Might be in the minority here but whenever I've seen him he's spoken very well, seems a likeable bloke. I don't think any of the candidates necessarily guarantee success and would all need us to get behind them, so if it is Johnson i'll get on board and hopefully see this club start to move in the right direction again.

Let’s hope he’s taking shit

 

[Hot Since 82]

If you can't see the clear difference between Parky and Johnson I'm not sure what to tell you

His best effort at Bristol in 5 seasons was finishing 8th. His nickname down there is streaky Johnson on account of the massive losing streaks he kept taking them on, last season they went 9 games without a win and lost 7 of those games. Results wise he's another Parkinson.

Some of our fans will be happy with anything though.

 

[0321safc]

Seeing his odds slowly shorten leads to my heart sinking that little bit lower each time.

Was he ever properly approached by the club for a role do you know?

Certainly? That sounds like a guarantee. Someone else was just corrected with a remark of ‘there are no guarantees’.

And I bet we wouldn’t have more 4-3s than 1-0s
