His win percentage at Cheltenham is 37%, a lot higher than Slade who was in the 20s. I think Jolley's must be around 40%?

Very possibly. Torn between feelings on Johnson, admire his management skills with a low budget, not always keen on his outward views when things were up against him but maybe that shows his steely and no-nonsense approach which, as you hint at, may have been his downfall.

Seemed almost a job for life for him there


They sold Eisa late on in the transfer window and never replaced him.Not sure what money they got in but that was a lot of goals missing from the Cheltenham side.Pleased he`s gone in terms of us playing them he usually found a way to beat us and I seem to think he had also had some ill health in recent times?

Just as I posted.

Madness at this time of the sesason.


Didn't we sack Alan Buckley MkII just 2 games into the season a while back.

No Cheltenham in the Fishy Buster this season, so that £50 is still up for grabs.

Yes, not a great move in hindsight(!) but looking back to then there were movements going on in the background regarding Huxford and co moving in with a view to new management and the mess that ensued.
Just as Johnsons situation appears to be, Buckley's culling was not a result-based decision but some kind of board squabble/struggle .

Always came over as arrogant and snidey to me, was in conversation with Hurst regarding Hurst`s future when sniffer did the after match lies, he`s signed a load of crap on two year contracts and those on loan from Bristol City could be recalled by his son as a revenge move maybe.
Having said all that Slade would be the right fit to finish them off hopefully, horrible club

Not sure whether it's Cheltenham being a 'horrible club' or the squad ethos under Johnson. I'm not aware of any shenanigans like we've had with Stevenage and FGR regarding treatment of our fans. Oh, and Barnet (but they made up for Sharkgate by allowing the mariachi band).


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Hope they are replaced in the League by Wrexham. That would feel right.

Would be good to have Wrexham back. Surely it's got to come good for them soon.
