pukka Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I am certainly not in the Johnson out brigade, but that is a very very risky strategy. Mourinho only got that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisA Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) What happened to he was not signing till our position has been strengthened? We won a league game since he said that.

HarryBosch Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 SC - "No, I can't pay you that much & I can't give you 3 and a half years" LJ - "What if I get Rooney off the wage bill?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Interesting length of deal, think that means that in the unlikely (IMHO) event we get relegated, this season, Johnson will be given the job of getting us promoted from league 2. However, some continuity of manager may persuade some of our valuable playing assets to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross2509 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Fantastic news, buzzing with some long - term longevity and the real feel of a long term plan and structure instilled in the club finally. Just ignore the people who don't believe in what he and the club are finally doing for the future and lets roll on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneSizeFitz Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The OS says it's a deal until the summer of 2018, so it's actually a four-and-a-half year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100milesaway Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm more than happy that he is staying, there has not been a lot wrong with what he has done so far. The building blocks continue to be put in place, so ever onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) It's a 4 and a half year contract. He already had a year to run. I am shocked. - Nothing against Johnson, but he hasn't done anything to earn this. If things go pear shaped can we afford to get rid? Unless.... there are clauses. If we go down, he has 1 season to get us up or he is gone for free etc. Edited January 23, 2014 by pukka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Let's hope this puts a halt to all the silly talk on here....Rome wan't built in a day n'all that. I for one think Johnson is the right man to take us forward and Corney obviously thinks the same, let's all give him our 100% backing instead of questioning every decision he makes!

palmer1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Happy with this. With the work behind the scenes with the management and with the new stand continuety is what's needed. You can't please everybody all the time and you certainly can't please Oldham fans half the time. Right decision tieing down a young promising manager to a long term deal. Its not running for us at the moment but I am more confident than any previous manager that LJ will get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
