If Johnson decides to stop with us how will you feel???

My "Micky, love" was a League of Gentlemen reference. No offence intended. Never mind.

But why'd you reply to tingleytykes question "what if Bristol fail to agree terms and he is rejected?" then?

 

Can't say I'd be bothered one way or another. As an observation, he wanted to talk to Bristol which, considering the way that Patrick Cryne stuck by him in that torrid time at the back end of last year, is disrespectful to Patrick Cryne. Should he elect to stay with us and, as we inevitably will, we hit a bad patch and people are clamouring for his dismissal then that support he got in 2015 might not be there.

 

Hard.

 

I'd feel robbed, it would be like we were presented with a get out of jail card and didn't use it.

The great escape if he goes.

 

I'll feel pretty, oh so pretty, I'll feel pretty and witty and gay.

 

Witty?
Sorry, old mate.

 

Welcome to the Passive Aggressive UK finals here in BBS land. My loves.

 

Isn't this a question of professionalism? You can have one eye out for bigger and better and still do your best in your current position. That applies to any job, anywhere. Don't know why football always considers itself to be special. If you think that a manager who has had an interview elsewhere and not got that job will then start deliberately not trying in his current role, then that just sounds barmy to me. The best way that Johnson can make himself attractive to a bigger club, is by doing an excellent job at Barnsley.

 

Watch LJ's interview after the game on sky on Thurs night when asked about the Bristol city job and he asks the interviewer if he's heard anything because LJ doesn't know anything. His manner dictates otherwise to me. He must have been making moves toward this job just like he did with us whilst at Oldham.

At least Patrick's getting a pay off out of his decision not to sack him. LJ's been a very lucky man. I don't think he would get afforded the same leeway elsewhere. (Pardon the pun)
