Johnson to be fired very soon

[Bullitt]

The dreaded "vote of confidence"

 

[Prestwick]

He's doomed.

What Andrew starts the likes of Jones, Cleary, Moore and Bills will finish with their "un-biased" and "frank" reporting.

 

[feicarsinn]

Bit of a random one eh? Surely they should have waited till after England lose all their games to back the coach up?

 

[O'Rothlain]

You'd think the RFU would be looking at Andrew rather than Johnson, as Andrew has been sitting on his golden chair for a while with un-impressive results. I like Johnson, seems like a quality guy.

Dont see who can take the job not many good coaches in england

 

[Bullitt]

Look at Andrew doing a bad job though... He doesn't do anything. (Well, apart from taking credit for other peoples good work and sabotaging the English Game from grass roots up).

I wholeheartedly agree. What does he actually do? Why should Johnson be on the block when it's really the problem of the upper management. English Rugby need to get their ____ sorted out. I highly doubt the problem is with Johnson, a man who everybody holds in high regards.

Ashton - been there, done that
Mallender - a strong candidate
Cockerill - needs to gain more experience as a head coach but looks like a good one
Ryan - are you taking the ****?
Hill - needs to prove himself at a big club
Booth - see Cockerill

Yes, as a player but not as a coach.

Can anybody list his achievements as a coach??

 

[feicarsinn]

Sure. He's seen England lose to Oz, South Africa, The All Blacks, Ireland, Wales and Argentina. He's taken wins against Argentina, Italy, Scotland, France and the Pacific Islands. I don't think he has won away from home yet either.

That said being England manager over the last few years hasn't been easy and he did get them to 2nd in last year's six nations.

100% agreed. About bloody time someone said this, I like both Andrew and Johnson but to be honest, Andrew is the one who should be pushed, of course Johnson needs more time. At least until after the next 6 nations.

Trouble is, the only person I'd want to replace Johnson if he went is Dean Richards and I'm pretty sure he won't be chosen at least for the next 2 years and 9 months.
