I agree that Johnson should stay regardless of whether we stay up, because you can see he knows a lot about football and I can see him building a side that play consistently good, attractive football. However, I also hold him totally responsible if we go down. He's had enough time with the squad to have sorted things out at least enough to have us safe by now. Let's face it even a poor 10 points from the last 11 games would have us virtually safe now. A mixture of poor tactics, team selection and very bad luck have contributed to the winless streak. GJ is an attack minded manager and in our predicament we probably needed a more defensive manager, but that's easy to say in hindsight.
The truth is that nobody could have forseen what was going to happen, despite some on here pretending they could. Blaming Sammo or DC for our current predicament is simply crazy. Why didn't DC forsee that GJ, one of the most sought after and successful mangers outside the premiership in recent years, was going to take us on an 11 match winless run? Why didn't DC keep Sammo on because we'd have avoided relegation, when relegation wasn't even an issue at the time? Where does DC keep his crystal ball?
There was a lot of support for both the sacking of Sammo and the appointment of GJ at the time and for good reason. It's all gone pear-shaped and the real issue here is that we really MUST stay up and then start afresh, hopefully with GJ still at the helm.
I have no idea if GJ will walk if we go down, but who's to say we'll be able to afford to keep him in any case. Can't see the BP being a big moneyspinner.
