HES NEVER THERE!! HOW MANY TIMES

I think they’ll be some news v soon on his next move….

The Maidstone preview mentions ‘Gary Johnson’s side’ in the first sentence so I wouldn’t bank on it

Dear God, it appears that even Saturday's absoute debacle is not enough to stir action at Plainmoor. We are doomed.

Gary Johnson is living off hope and that’s why everything he says doesn’t come to pass. He has a crocked squad and no money going to help him through it - so he has taken to try to find sunshine round the corner. The trouble is nobody is going to help him. The budget is narrowing and there is no help in sight.

In the press call he was asked questions about "your team".
You could take the view that GJ is being reminded that the team and their results are his responsibility and his only. Today wouldn't be a good time to sack GJ but right after a drubbing by Maidstone tomorrow would be.
Look out for other football managers at the game taking notes. One of them could be GJ's replacement.

Is your comment based on data or “a sense”. It would be helpful to know.
If based on the former perhaps you could substantiate the reason for your post. If the latter, well thanks anyway

Goodness, we need some good news at the club and in a perverse way the hope that Johnson will be pensioned off or left by mutual agreement (sacked) cheers me up. In 55 years of supporting the club I have never seen so much anger amongst the fans towards the club.
Osborne and Edwards need to step up and say,we have no intention of sacking Johnson and then our decision is simple, we no longer waste our hard earned money while he remains in post or can they be brave, realise this season is a bust and bring in a new management team that we can get behind.

It just seems to me that after years of Osborne's ownership the bigger agenda of his real reason for "running",the club is about to reach the crescendo and the pack of cards is about to fall one way or another in the very near future.I may be wrong and suddenly there's a miraculous turn around in results hopefully but it appears contrived and Osborne is about to throw his final dice in to the ring.
