    "Your comments from pre-season about Nile Ranger seem to be prophetic, John. He started off well with Southend and contributed well to our 13-match unbeaten run but it looks like his wheels have come off again. Firstly, he has pleaded guilty in court to fraud involving telephone scamming, likely to result in a custodial sentence. Then, last week, he was suspended by the FA, probably for a failed drugs test or for illegal gambling on football - no details as yet. It sounds as if the club is preparing to cancel the 3-and-a-half-year contract they had given him just before Christmas."

    Crikey, of all the people you wouldn't offer a 3 and a half year contract to. What were they thinking?!

    Can't believe people keep taking a chance on him.

    No sympathy whatsoever for clubs that keep giving him another chance. One sliver lining is that hopefully they'll be able to cancel his contract on the grounds of gross misconduct and he won't get a pay off.

    It's only like us warning Bristol fans about Johnson. They thought it was sour grapes, and didn't believe most of us were actually glad to see the back of him.

    most of their fans on the OTIB site still think that to this day, even though everything they were told has turned out to be true.

    I think they just don't like to admit we were right. If you read their facebook page the majority want him gone.

    I still keep hearing pundits say "he's a bright young manager". Am I missing something here? Do results and performances only matter to fans?
