Call me old fashioned but I like a successful management team not a failed one.

5 wins in a row and some on here think Johnson is back to being the next messiah!
The whole management team need to Foxtrot Oscar.

Recruitment blows that rumour apart. Bargain basement signings and loanees don't back up your fanciful notion!!

1 promotion and 1 playoff final followed by a below par season and a relegation. Depends if you're a glass half full or glass half empty merchant. No prizes as to which camp you're in.

Or was it just bad recruitment?

Nobody knows what the budget was though - it could just as easily have been bad recruitment as lack of funds.

Apparently if you listen to Johnsons latest interview we got relegated due to bad luck - I mean thats just ludicrous. Its hardly bad luck if you mismanage your squad to such an extent you fill it with fullbacks and centre halves and cant put a striker on the bench for half a season.

There were three half decent teams in this leagues - the remainder lacked any quality whatsoever.

We need to try something different - Johnson is past his sell by date.
