    Absolutely not. But those of us still willing to give Johnson time aren't convinced we'll be relegated under him nor are we convinced a change to the head coach will necessarily improve us. You may think we're wrong, that's fair enough, but neither you nor anyone else who wants to see Johnson sacked can predict the future and our results any better than we can. Relegation is not a certainty if we keep him. Safety is not guaranteed if we sack him.

    Not that you'll find many who are upset if we do sack him. It may well be the right thing to do. But our problems run a lot deeper than Lee Johnson.

    Your correct Jay, our problems do run deeper than Johnson but Johnson is also a massive reason we are where we are.
    He's tactically naive, cannot see when to change things when a game is against us, doesn't seem to be able to motivate his players, tinkers for no reason, seems to want to be too matey with the players, has taken the club on one of its worse runs ever, plays boring football and has been a total failure at the club.

    These players are capable of winning more than the pathetic amount they have this season.

    Oldham fans warned us what he was like and his fancy patter and ******** bamboozled our naive owner and chief ex into believing he was the next special one.

    He should be sacked because hes failing

    I don't know. I've seen improvements in our last few away games. I've seen absolutely no improvements at Oakwell since September 26th. Home form is often the difference between staying up and going down. How many more home games do we have to lose before people realise we're in genuine danger of being relegated?

    We cant attract a buyer,its as simple as that,from what i've heard there isnt even anyone remotely interested..

    rumours of our sponsors getting a consortium together are just that,rumours,bad ones at that.

    That might be different if we were top half of the table.
    So if Cryne wants to sell up asap, he is going the wrong way about it, he needs grow a pair and admit he dropped a bollock appointing Johnson, sack him, and make the right appointment so we can shoot up the table and go into next season confident of making a push for promotion.

    I honestly cannot see any defence whatsoever in keeping Mr L Johnson as manager....he has had long enough to show improvement but he is getting worse not better!

    If and it is an if........he has started to abuse fans in the west stand he needs to go and now.....I have no doubt the fans were giving him it in the first place but these fans were here a long time before him and will be here a long time after Mr Johnson has departed bfc.

    The board won't sack him cos lets face it....it was an old boys network appointment and to be fair, whoever picked this joker needs to go as well butr they ain't gunna sack themselves are they?

    The club is a complete joke from top to bottom. The only person able to clean sweep is Mr Cryne and he is either unwilling to do it or has been bamboozled by the spin twins (along with a few fans).

    The matter will be decided if and only if people vote with their feet en mass in the new year, when the club suddenly start talking and come calling for season ticket money with more waffle on how they are going to do this and that.

    I will reiterate, there cannot be any reasonable defence for keeping Mr Johnson....they guy clearly has no clue whatsoever and the players look like they ain't busting a gut for his laughable approach.

    Mourinho got the sack cos the players were lost and Johnson will go at some point when the same happens.....by then we may well be in the old fourth div.

    Once we get a Manager we'll be OK. Head Coach = Headless Chicken.
