If some supporters got their wish and Johnson was fired, it's so predictable what would happen next. A Dave Penney type 'experienced' (but not particularly good) manager would be brought in to 'steady the ship', and within six months the same people who were calling for Johnsons head would be calling for his. And so on and so forth. It'd be nice just for once to have a little patience with a manager and allow him time to build.
