You present a totally contradictory argument. In March 2016, Johnson was found guilty of sexual activity with a child and sentenced to six years in prison. He was released in 2019 after serving half his sentence. He has served his time. He has returned to society. Why are his chances of landing a job in football negligible? Answer that question. My own view is that crimes of this nature are so abhorrent that these people should have to not be in any job where youngsters are and should me monitored, for life. No Angel myself but have never been accused of this kind of thing, if I had been then no one would need think of me as I’d get away and not even be in tbe country My opinion also is that people in privileged positions (and I include footballers and football managers in that category) are role models (whether they choose to be or not).
Lots of young (and not so young) people idolise these people.
Yes, they are human and as a result not perfect, but I expect a certain standard of behaviour.
Community sports clubs like ours could be a huge force for good and go a long way to promote high performance and decency within the community. I think the work that the Gas Girls have done this year is a perfect example of this and should be the standard.
This is the root of the problem that people have with JB, and I cannot argue against that. If enough supporters make their feelings clear to the club, then perhaps the club can address this post-JB and set out a code of practice.
Then problem is that supporters also want success at any cost, we are a fickle lot. I would like us to be successful and be universally known for setting a good example.

If we, and the opposition did not waste so much time each game 'kicking the ball away' at free kicks and stoppages or 'throwing/kicking it in the other direction' when the ball leaves the field of play for a throw in, it may not have taken so long for a striker to have scored, it kill's the game, the spectacle, and is unsportsmanlike, should be a booking every time if deliberate.

Okay you win. Fair play to you Rex. I wasn't trying to be pain, just debating on point of principle. For me - two convictions for violence (let alone a litany of other transgressions) to my mind makes Mr B***** an unacceptable appointment as manager, figure head and role model for the Club. You take a different, more forgiving approach and believe that he has potential to rehabilitate as a suitable person for the role, and I respect that. My son is on 'your' side of the debate. To the point where we can't talk about anything Rovers related any more. It's ultimately very sad to see supporters and even family divided by this insane Board decision. Have a good day, Sir.

That’s awful. I hope it resolves itself, sooner than later. So sorry to hear of this

If purely finance determined footy success then why are the club,Morecambe ,with the smallest budget of all,doing so well?
