It is obvious that people like you only come on forums like this to insult people. You are a sad pathetic individual. Yes I am a gambling man and I love a challenge. Are you brave enough to put £1,000 not £50 on the bet you previously mentioned. I am prepared to send Southampton Gull the sum of £1,000 ( if he agrees) to hold as my part of the bet, are you man enough to do the same?. The bet is that if Gary Johnson is still our manager at the end of the season, we will finish in the bottom 4 of the league.

I would suggest that the problem lies with another Johnson, his brother, Peter. If he were not the manager's brother he would have been gone long ago.

My advice would be for the club to invest in a highly experienced chief scout with widespread knowledge of players in Leagues 1 & 2 and the three National Leagues.

And some forwards we had last year who are.Is that enough to sack a manager who overall has been one of our more successful ones?. If so, apart from a casual remark about the Weymouth guy, who are no longer winning, who are you touting to take over.. .? Truth is it’s very easy to make cheap shots from Bideford about supposed poor management another to actually even suggest, let alone undertake, the alternative way forward.

One of those who thinks that shouting at people and making them do long runs will somehow motivate. Heck, maybe he's right and the Shrimpers will play like a team possessed this weekend, but it's hard not to think that some of the players will say 'yeah, you can screw yourself' and they'll be in even more strife.

I, for one, hope his team have a shocker on Saturday

We offered him a contract, he got a better offer and took it. It happens all the time in football and all walks of life.
Fact is he’s no better than NL standard so if he can enhance his and his families standard of living with a sideways move then good luck to him.
If GJ wanted him to stay that much he should have offered a better deal.
Time for everyone to move on and focus on the here and now.
