What a waste. When he joined us I was over the moon, a quality player and a local as well. He did have periods where he played well and if I remember correctly, was our top scorer last (or before) season. The lad could have been a legend here (for good reasons) but he self destructed and was never really consistent on the pitch. There are no winners here, just a sad end to what we all hoped for when he arrived. Now it's past, it's over. Time to look ahead.
The sacking was reported the next day, however I reckon the decision to sack must have happened in the few hours after the guilty plea - the time needed to confirm the decision and get legal representatives in the same room and inform them.
I doubt Johnson will ever play in this country again , Ched Evans still isn't playing. Maybe a Chinese club will take a punt on AJ when he gets out , if he isn't too old by then. Personally , I don't want to even see him playing for a pub side on Sunday mornings.
