    £1.5m. Norwich fans seem to be happy he’s going and can’t believe They’ve got £1.5m for him.

    Was good for us.

    Wonder if he’ll have more impact at Bristol than Ryan Kent did. I don’t think he’ll tear it up there.

    It astounds me how many of our former players want to play for Johnson considering how badly he managed them

    Because Lee Johnson was an absolutely cracking manager for us wasn't he.

    On the road to promotion, yes. Unfortunately he had us in reverse gear.

    Brownhill went and the leaked wage sheet showed he was on only 4k a week at Bristol

    Second with a game in hand but vastly superior goal difference if my memory is correct.

    There's lots of things you can't remember.

    Your best post was however that he left us with "no chance" of promotion.

    Except that we went up.

    Please look at the results of the last 8 or 9 games or so when he was in charge and tell me where we were heading.

    Who thinks LeeJay was lucky not to be sacked though, when he took us on that horrendous run of losses, and to the bottom of the Lg One table in December ?.

    Lucky? Chuff me. He could have gone at the end of the previous season when he went nine without a win.

    Obviously with a chance of promotion. Which we amazingly achieved, despite your miserable prediction...…………..

    .........….and despite our not performing not quite as well as a team less than 36 miles away from us in the run in (Scunthorpe), despite your assertion that we were the most fantastic team in the run in that season in any of the divisions. You were quite wrong there.

    I have all the quotes and the statistics on hand if you wish me to prove them.

    Plus I have all the quotes about about how you call me "psychotic" (4 and counting). When it comes to arguing, the last vestige of the defeated is to abuse. I understand that, and do not hold it against you.

    Shall I post them all - our posts?

    That might refresh your memory.

    Just to clarify then - when he left where we in the table? I'll give you a clue - the answer is a number greater than 1 and smaller than 24. All you need to do is give me that number.

    You're not with the concept of momentum, I'm afraid.

    When he left, we were flying.

    Like a rocket.

    We'd got it. We had the jigsaw in place.

    Conor was bossing things. We'd clicked. That's how it goes sometimes.

    I'm not saying LJ was a genius for how it came to pass. But it did.

    Just like it did for Danny Wilson.

    Chemistry.

    (a few too many metaphors in this post - sorry)
