Why not? The Slade route worked well for us.

Everyone seems against this appointment. Johnson previously took Yeovil from the Conference to League 1 (winning the FA Trophy along the way), got Bristol City into the top 6 of the Championship, then later went back to Yeovil to take them into the Championship.

He also won the Conference title with Cheltenham to take them back into the football league first time of asking. Gary Johnson is a good, experienced manager who has a track.record of overachieving and improving clubs. Yes, he's had a couple of relegation, but those relegations were either when he took over those clubs towards the end of the season and didn't have time to save them (Cheltenham, but he made them bounce back straight away), or Yeovil, where a club that size had no choice but to cash in on their best players.

We could do a lot worse than Gary Johnson and he would be a decent appointment. Warnock would be my top choice, but I wouldn't be disappointed with Johnson at all.

At last someone commenting on this. This story if true could be that Warnock is number one target and Johnson is a plan C if everything else goes tits up.

The heading could well have been "City contact Warnock's agent".

Depends how ambitious the club really are. One thing he will never do, and that is take us to the top table.

Why not? He's got several promotions with Yeovil and won the Conference with Cheltenham last season?

Cardiff City are in talks with the former Bristol City manager Gary Johnson,currently manager of League 2 Cheltenham Town.
Only a small compensation would be potentially payable to Cheltenham.
It is thought Cardiff City have offered Johnson a contract initially till the end of the season and if he keeps them up an extended contract with a bonus if relegation is avoided.

Gary Johnson is thinking the offer over.

City have also said to have contacted Neil Warnock's agent hoping he will talk to them as he would been their first priority if he is willing to talk to them.

The bookies have put Neil Warnock as 1/10 favourite for the Cardiff City job.

says who ?

We could do much worse but I'm hoping we get someone younger and more promising than Gary Johnson.

Surely they can't have offered Johnson a contract if they are still hoping to persuade Warnock to come here?

Is it a conditional contract?

Conditional on us not being able to get anyone better?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

No wonder Johnson has to think about it!

No that is true with most clubs. Always the cheap option though. If Tan wants us to stay up Warnock is the only man for the Job. If he as I said before has revenge in mind it's someone like Johnson
