Think a couple of posters have very short memories. Kevin Nicholson appointed during the Dave Phillips ownership/Stephen Breed as C.E.O, widely regarded as up there in the group of 'TUFC'S worst managers' by many, myself included, kept our club in this division twice, with what would have been, almost certainly far less resources than Gary Johnson has had this season .
If none of us have learned over the last 6 years that our ownership don't care much about the club, then I'm not sure where you've been hiding, as for our now almost certain relegation, yes, of course the buck does stop with Gary Johnson, he, is 100% culpable for it.
It was Gary Johnson who signed up a full squad, top heavy with midfielders, with absolutely no balance between senior players, probably in their last season, or like Asa Hall, maybe one season past his best, and untried, untested youngsters, Gary Johnson is in charge of, fitness, strength and conditioning, tactics, motivation, phycological well being, he's failed on all aspects.
Gary Johnson was the one who left himself no wriggle room what so ever, hence why we've had cheap youngsters on loan that have proved not fit for purpose, so have come and gone, always the case around pre-Christmas, stroke new year, around league 1 and 2, experienced players become available, more likely to want to come here on a 6month loan than permanently, I said before season even started, if budgets are being reduced, sign up a smaller squad, and pad the squad out through the loan market when players become available, we did the opposite and are now paying a heavy price.
The local board, and ownership are culpable also, through their silence and in-action, those of us who attend the games regularly, have posting across forums and social media since November/December, we saw the writing on the wall back then, it's irritating and in many respects sad, to see other clubs who were in a similar position at the turn of the year, act, and now pulling away from relegation, whilst our club sat on it's hands and did nothing, it let the situation continue, play out and fester, as we saw with unsavoury scenes at the end of the match yesterday, our club isn't once again toxic, its gone past that.
