Over 50 years of pain,pleasure,frustration,joy,heartache and ecstasy that supporting Leigh has given me but I would not swop it.: |
|
| Sat below him last night and I could not believe some of the things he was shouting,at one point yelling to McCormack to "get it sorted now" in a very threatening way.
Can't knock his passion,but he is not someone I'd like to have as my boss.
Anybody would think hes put a lot of money in the club.

| In the after match speech, he basically said we were lucky because they'd played e and his players wouldn't play that bad against us again at their place.
Basil said something along the lines of ...Oh well we'll not bother coming

Des Johnson is a knobber and it would not surprise me if he sacks ste mac.Players will just get ed off and with no continuity they will fail.You can have passion but it has to be controlled.Des needs to be careful otherwise he be back to hospital.

| He couldnt handle his high and unbeatable team nearly losing to a team that was near to the bottom of the table last season........ in his eyes they are too good to be in this league and everyone should bow to them.
They wont win the title this season IMO and we should have beat the current champions last night.

Barrow for Super League 2015: |
|
| Des is Des. Wears his heart on his sleeve, puts his money where his mouth is and hates losing.
If the players or coaches didn't like his style they would leave the club.
How much grace did Millward show during his after match interview .... ermm ... none.
One of the posters is right. If you don't pull your weight at Barrow you don't last long. Everyone knows the score. It worked last year and there's nothing to say it won't work this.
I wish I had a pound for every time Des Johnston's name is mentioned on the Fax, Widnes and Leigh forums.

S.R.C has mentioned the name himself in an attempt to bump up his earnings, so he is on £4.00 now (but funding £3.00 of that himself)

| He is a supporter. He is funding the club. He is entitled to his opinions.
He is impulsive and he sounds like a bully. Would Barrow have been last seasons Champs if he wasn't chairman ?
