Somehow, I think this is a bad move by Bristol - he's a good manager and has previously been touted for a few Championship jobs - maybe a bad patch but I dont think the players on this occasion will appreciate a change in manager and after a wait and see period they will show their reaction negatively Here’s a fact. No one has got a clue about the mood and going’s on at other clubs, a lot of people struggle with it with their own clubs let alone another club that they know so little about they can’t even get its name right. On here I’ve seen people say his sacking is harsh, others who think Pulis was going to be the next manager for them. I can tell you that if you were spouting such bollox in the pubs in South Bristol you’d be laughed at if you were lucky. I don’t know a single person who supports them who disagrees with him being sacked and also I don’t know a single person who would want Pulis as their manager again in fact he is the most despised manager they have ever had.

He’s very unlucky isn’t he Support isn’t divided at all mate on either his sacking or not wanting Pulis anywhere near the place. There has been massive investment in the redevelopment of the stadium and infrastructure and their ambitions now are clearly on a different level to what they used to be. It will be interesting to see who replaces Johnson but I know that their fans don’t want anyone up and coming they want someone with a proven record of promotion from this league like Chris Hughton.

BM Mick, something tells me the fans are not going to be happy. The rumblings I’ve seen on Twitter at least anyway looks like they aren’t looking at that sort of appointment. Hughton would be a mega appointment for any Champ team mind.

BM Just while on about Bristol, how does the city split between City and Rovers, is it based on geography, are there areas of solid Rovers or City? Also, how big is rugby, does it compete with the two football clubs or is it a completely different fan base? Just curious.

BM Just while on about Bristol, how does the city split between City and Rovers, is it based on geography, are there areas of solid Rovers or City? Also, how big is rugby, does it compete with the two football clubs or is it a completely different fan base? Just curious. On a basic level Rovers is north Bristol and City south, but it’s not as simple as that obviously. Over the years City have been more successful and generally better run (apart from 1982 when they went bust and simply started again next day with no downside consequences as there would be today) and so they now have more support. The gap between the clubs though is nowhere near as big as the gap between us and Vale. As for Rugby, it’s mainly a different demographic but complicated by the fact that their old long term home at the Memorial Stadium is now owned by Rovers and they were bought by the owner of Bristol City who moved them to Ashton Gate. A lot of City fans now probably watch the rugby too whereas a lot of Rovers fans who used to don’t anymore. Both clubs have a lot of potential as it’s such a big city and has large adjoining populations too in South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. There is talk of Rovers building a new stadium near to Temple Meads and if that happens they can start to dream of going to the top themselves in the same way as City are now. BM

Looks like they fancy John Terry. Been impressed and surprised that he has kept a pretty low profile at Villa. Assumed he would be in the media every chance he gets Instead he appears to have supported his manager impeccably. 2 years experience now as a number two, probably a good time to start on his own.

Always thought he and Stoke would be a good fit. Never seen the fascination with him. Won 35% of 103 games at Oldham Won 39% of 51 games at Barnsley before snaking his way to Bristol Won 39% of 217 games at Bristol. He seems to be one of those managers that has got himself a reputation based on not a lot IMO.

I don't know whether to say I hope he gets it before or after we play them, given his record: Win ratio: West Bromwich Albion - 0% Portsmouth - 25.5% Blackpool - 16.7% Blackburn Rovers - 26.7% Oxford United - 45.1% Lincoln City - 31% You'd rightly be fuming if we appointed a man with that record. Cue an appointment tomorrow and a 4 nil home victory in his first game!

Cue an appointment tomorrow and a 4 nil home victory in his first game! He's had more clubs than Rory McIllroy. And he looks like Voldermort. If they were looking at League 1, they'd have been better seeing how Oxford get on later and maybe going for Karl Robinson if they don't go up. His sides play decent football.

He seems to be one of those managers that has got himself a reputation based on not a lot IMO. Not saying Johnson is a top class manager or anything, but the win ratio at Bristol City has to be seen in the context of them having sold most of their best players and replaced them with a lot of loans and youth players. A few of my mates (I live half a mile from Ashton Gate) have always been pretty complimentary about him, their main problem is having always been massively streaky under Johnson. They were playing some brilliant football the season they finished 8th and had that good cup run and came undone at least in part due to a thin squad. Then Flint, Bryan and Reid were all sold in the same summer and they haven't been the same since, so it was now time for him to go for sure. I'm far from certain that the only way is up for them from here though.
