As much as I detest the Mail, that was a good article. I realise that they can't put anything too detrimental about the ownership, but it was written in such a way that people will be sympathetic to the Club.

Pity they didnt get their facts straight - we are not yet in administration.

I sincerely hope both the Johnson brothers are no longer being paid by us. Gary's last paid day should have been the day he mutually agreed to sod off. It's worrying how his brother has not been mentioned at all.

If both are still leeching us for continued money, from a club that has none, then they are both loathsome ignorant arrogant individuals and any lingering respect for the man has gone. He'd see us die as a club so long as he gets money.

Again, it sounds as though Osbourne was obligated to pay the salaries last month, so I hope all monies raised since are going solely to us and none to him or the Johnson morons.

Although the lack of clarity in the many welcome but ambiguous comments from the club indicate money may well still be bleeding to them.

Loathsome the lot of em.

There is no way Pete J is not still being paid. He clung on at Cheltenham for 2 months after his brother was sacked, despite having been doing a shite job for them too.

If Aaron’s watching the opposition- maybe no need for any scouting at all. We won’t sign anyone in administration and I would think the admin would get rid of Pete Johnson in that case.

The man has no shame.

I hope none of them get employment in football again

It was confirmed yesterday that Peter Johnson IS still employed by TUFC and getting paid.

The sooner he is gone the better.

We aren't in administration.

Get rid of Peter Johnson ASAP. He was chuffing useless and is to scouting what Donald Trump is to self effacement!!!
