Did very well at Yeovil (promoted twice) and at Bristol City (promoted once and lost play-off final to Hull)
"Disappointing" at P'boro but they were top early on and still only 7th with a game in hand. How much of that is down to him and how much P'boro, a club that sacked Fergie jnr and is now selling off their top players.
Doubt he would have been on the radar before but now he's been sacked who knows? Knows this level and has been a success twice in this division.

Parky got Colchester promoted once and lost in the play offs with us. Posh were leaking goals like confetti and so were we.

[cite]Posted By: StrikerFirmani[/cite]No thanks.
He took Bristol City to the play offs only losing to a inform Hull City. He can really spot a player Nicky Manyard is one that springs to mind.
Most of us thought Parky could spot a player.
Don't get me wrong I am not pro Parky just concerend we don't end up with Parky mark II
I woudl be very suprised if since last night the board have not discussed this as an option and maybe even sounded Gary out today.
One thing that might stop this and im sure others on here will have a better idea than me but is it likly that Peterbrough would have a agreement with Johnson as part of his pay of that he can not work for a certain period of time?
Johnson would be a solid choice. He knows the lower divisions, and has the character to handle a club of our size. Howe might have been stepping-up too early into a bigger club. Expectations are lower at Bournemouth. Johnson has the experience to handle the situation and will have the required knowledge to put together a team to get us out of this division. He did a good job at both Yeovil & Bristol City. The problem at Peterborough is the chairman - unrealistic expectations, he thinks they should be in the Premier League.

Also seems the chairman was picking the players to buy not Johnson himself.
I always thought Johnson was a fantastic manager, his teams at Yeovil and Bristol C impressed me hugely when we played them (Yeovil in the cup, Brizzle in the league). I remember thinking at the time that Bristol were the best football playing team in the league and came very close to getting up to the Premier League, only to lose to Dean Windass's worldy in the playoff final.
I don't know what has gone wrong for him at Peterborough. Reports suggest him and the Chairman " could not see eye to eye on policy". Whatever that means. He seemed to have team with plenty of attacking threat but little in the way of defensive strength. Was that down to tactics or was it playing to strengths in the squad? Interesting to read what dansmudge said about someone saying Peterborough were playing bad football.
I certainly wouldn't be averse to Johnson. There will be few managers that don't have that experience of "failure" on their CV, and out of the more experience managers being mentioned in connection to us (unofficially), I think he would be one of the better ones.
it went badly wrong at the end of his time at City. big rows on the bench and in the dressing room and took some big defeats (6 nil to Cardif, 5- 2 to Donny).
he's got the track record but like any long serving manager it has a few blemishes. He's 55 too but that's not much older than O'Driscoll.
he would worry me based on the fact that one of our main problems is how many goals we are shipping compared to the other teams in the top half of the table. johnson's peterboro are the only team to have conceded more than us in the top half which doesnt fill me with hope that he'd be able to sort it out.

Bit of an ageist remark there 'young henners'
Do not notice too many young kids managing top clubs in the prem!
Are we expecting him to actually play! Ferguson, Wenger, Rednapp all in there 60s..... even Kenny Dalglish is 60 this year.
I really do not care what age, they be young or old, but want someone who can get us out of this league!

Shut it granddad!
55 is fine. Just comparing and contrasting with other recent names such as Howe (33).
not sure really :/ i keep thinking of he's time at Peterborough and the fact they let 5 in against us haha !! but then i remember what he done at bristol
i would like a manager with a bit more passion in there a typical (tracksuite manager - not the suite type who just crosses arms ) interesting thing - PUFC assistant manager is Mark Robson - could he be coming back to Charlton if Johnson get's it

Peterborough season ticket holder texted Talksport this morning to say they'd been playing awful football all season.
Also seems the chairman was picking the players to buy not Johnson himself.

Sign him up please.
Although the shite they have spouted recently I would take that with a pinch of salt.
who Johnson and Robson?
