:06:15. > :06:22.
:06:22. > :06:32.has just joined Yeovil. We are going to be talking to Gary Johnson.

:07:18. > :07:25.have painted the Place red. The beers are local and their stars are
:07:25. > :07:33.appearing on telly in this arena. When this place was designed,
:07:33. > :07:38.serious consideration was given to making the away fans welcomed.
:07:38. > :07:46.is what we would do for our a way fans as well. Driven to a beer when
:07:46. > :07:52.they come in. Treat them like they are human. The clubs see eye-to-eye
:07:52. > :08:00.on much more than a pint of cider. Along with 2000 fans, City's
:08:00. > :08:03.executive has also come a long, mob-handed. Previously, Albion had
:08:04. > :08:10.opened the door to all their heads of department, from the rooftop to
:08:10. > :08:16.the tunnel. Happy to give them every war story, every helpful hint
:08:17. > :08:23.about planning for success and stadium building. Time for City to
:08:23. > :08:29.take stock. What would be the defining lessons we would take back
:08:29. > :08:33.if we get to do this ourselves? fans' experience has been thought
:08:33. > :08:40.of it from start to finish, from bottom up. They have been very
:08:40. > :08:44.close to us and very supportive as well. They have applied for us and
:08:44. > :08:47.gone through our planning committees as well. It is important
:08:47. > :08:53.we demonstrated that when they talk about benefits to the community, we
:08:53. > :09:03.had already begun to deliver them. This was not just talk, this was
:09:03. > :09:14.
:09:14. > :09:24.real. This was the only way Ashton Vale could come to fruition any

:15:33. > :15:37.Southampton is pretty much at the start off the season. They have a
:15:37. > :15:47.kink -- been looking to get their hands on that piece of silverware.
:15:47. > :15:50.
:15:50. > :15:53.What is the difference between them and the rest of the division?
:15:53. > :15:58.marriage has been getting them to peak at the right times and they
:15:58. > :16:02.have been at the peak and they have been fantastic. -- their manager.
:16:02. > :16:06.We will have a look at the next Monday because they clash with
:16:06. > :16:12.Leicester and we will have extended highlights of that here on Late
:16:12. > :16:18.Kick Off. In the meantime, Reading, Leroy. Are they on a number of
:16:18. > :16:24.runs? It is only a matter of time. Also, lost a couple of big players.
:16:24. > :16:28.Milton at the back. It was always going to take time for them to
:16:28. > :16:36.settle at but they have got some great players with great enthusiasm
:16:36. > :16:40.and great youth about them. They have really flown up. It is not
:16:40. > :16:47.unusual. It is something that happens. They won the trophy back
:16:47. > :16:52.in the 1970s. If they could do it then with him, imagine without him!
:16:52. > :16:57.News is coming out of Portsmouth this evening. The administrator
:16:57. > :17:04.says he has got a buyer for the club at the contract stage. His
:17:04. > :17:11.words - the next 48 hours a pivotal. With the genuine wage bill looming,
:17:11. > :17:21.knife-edge is not the word. I have been here before but it is the last
:17:21. > :17:29.
:17:29. > :17:33.thing the players want. You have this illusion of wealth as well,
:17:33. > :17:39.and it is not coming through from the club. They have to translate it
:17:39. > :17:46.into good performances, which is really hard. Yes. That is the
:17:46. > :17:52.majority of players that the club. They are not all earning big money.
:17:52. > :17:56.They must be exasperated. Fingers crossed that a deal does come
:17:56. > :18:03.through. Plenty more to come, including...
:18:03. > :18:07.The best action from League 1 and League 2. Bosch! And arms are
:18:07. > :18:12.raised that the Swindon manager in Rotherham. Still, he will be used
:18:12. > :18:16.to that. Next up, it has been a big month
:18:16. > :18:25.for emotional returns of football and The Oval have one of their very
:18:25. > :18:35.own. Gary Johnson. -- Yeovil. He is back six years after leaving. He
:18:35. > :18:47.
:18:47. > :18:51.then took the FA Trophy. What is happening? We arranged to have a
:18:51. > :18:54.meeting on the Sunday before the first game, so we spoke for six
:18:54. > :18:59.hours and there were a lot more questions than just the original
:18:59. > :19:03.one, but that was, look, Terry, everybody wants you to stay. Myself,
:19:03. > :19:08.the chairman, the board of directors, the supporters. So
:19:08. > :19:15.hopefully it was quite easy for him to stay because we work very hard
:19:15. > :19:25.to make sure that we told him we were enhancing and I was enhancing
:19:25. > :19:26.
:19:26. > :19:33.the management team, rather than just taking over. What about the
:19:33. > :19:42.situation at Tranmere? We had to make some changes in our tactics
:19:42. > :19:47.and our philosophy. We certainly made a few changes in personnel.
:19:47. > :19:57.saw the first goal from Joe Edwards there? Yes. We bought him in and he
:19:57. > :19:59.
:19:59. > :20:04.is a good little player. Leroy, you are an old mucker of Gary? Yes. I
:20:04. > :20:11.have been asked to ask him about our games of table tennis! A time
:20:11. > :20:15.will not do that. What are your aims now? Where can you take the
:20:15. > :20:19.team? We have got to be competitive. The first thing to do is to keep
:20:19. > :20:23.them in the division. That is going to be a difficult job but we will
:20:23. > :20:28.work hard to make sure we stay in the division that Yeovil has done
:20:28. > :20:33.so well to stay in for the last eight years or so. I help them get
:20:33. > :20:38.there so I don't feel I have jumped in on anybody us's success. But
:20:38. > :20:41.really, we have got to compete in the First Division and if you can
:20:41. > :20:46.do that, the championship is the place to be as and when you are
:20:46. > :20:50.ready. The second goal we saw from Andy Williams, how concerned were
:20:50. > :20:54.you when you saw that going, because that was the 95th minute of
:20:54. > :20:57.the game? We are concerned because seven minutes went up on the extra
:20:57. > :21:02.time board but it did give us a lift because we were putting them
:21:02. > :21:05.under pressure at the time. Our supporters got going and it was a
:21:05. > :21:13.great move and a great finish and you couldn't have written the
:21:13. > :21:17.script of my first game back better. Everyone has gone home ecstatic. It
:21:18. > :21:21.looked like the old team. excellent. Before you made the
:21:21. > :21:25.return, you were heavily linked and a lot of people said you were the
:21:25. > :21:30.favourite to take over at Bristol Rovers. What made you decide not to
:21:30. > :21:33.do that? I think I was heavily linked because I was doing a
:21:34. > :21:37.commentary on a Bristol City-or more game than like the manager got
:21:37. > :21:42.the sack and everybody was asking me the question because I was there.
:21:42. > :21:48.It would have been a brave decision to take an ex-Bristol City manager
:21:48. > :21:53.over to Rovers so they never asked me anyway. There was not a decision
:21:53. > :21:58.to make. The Bristol board have got to take their time and make the
:21:58. > :22:02.right appointment. Yeovil came in, missed the chairman and ask me to
:22:02. > :22:06.takeover and I was happy to do so. The other names are in the frame
:22:06. > :22:10.and they are saying they were having to use in the next couple of
:22:10. > :22:16.days with may be an answer by Thursday. Who would you give the
:22:16. > :22:20.job to? I will leave that to Leroy. He seems to pick everybody's
:22:20. > :22:29.managers all over the country! a good job of it as well! What is
:22:29. > :22:33.he on about? I said if Gary was to go to Bristol Rovers I was not sure
:22:33. > :22:37.if he would be the next Bristol City man. It is a difficult job.
:22:37. > :22:47.Somebody has to go in and get their feet under the table and be
:22:47. > :22:48.
:22:48. > :22:58.accepted by the supporters because he is doing a difficult job. You
:22:58. > :23:01.
:23:01. > :23:05.were actually at this game? He has them playing for him. They were
:23:05. > :23:12.cohesive, frantic at times Forster you could tell they were playing a
:23:12. > :23:16.team at the top of the table. were very good value for their draw.
:23:16. > :23:26.It will be good for whoever is lucky enough to get that job. Thank
:23:26. > :23:43.
:23:43. > :23:53.Let's have a look at how the rest Let's have a look at how the rest
:23:53. > :24:02.
:24:02. > :24:12.Simon Walton got both goals. I am ready pleased that Paul Wotton his
:24:12. > :24:23.
:24:23. > :24:29.2012 with a late penalty. Bogey you go, Ashley! With some experienced
:24:29. > :24:35.help for Carl Fletcher, I can see good things ahead for Plymouth.
:24:35. > :24:45.Swindon. I got to know that power de Canio fairly well in Italy, or I
:24:45. > :24:47.
:24:47. > :24:57.had no idea that he would go to Swindon! Alex Revell pulled a goal
:24:57. > :25:26.
:25:26. > :25:33.back for Rotherham. Paolo has been looking for. This was just the
:25:33. > :25:37.consolation for Macclesfield. Cheltenham are racing towards
:25:37. > :25:43.promotion and they are unbeaten in 10. Yes. Many teams and League 2
:25:43. > :25:52.are having a great season. Aldershot were beaten, however, by
:25:52. > :25:58.two cracking goals. Almost there was added after the first. It sets
:25:58. > :26:02.a new, unwanted record for scoring in the first five league games.
:26:02. > :26:09.Oxford were also firing blanks. They thought this was a goal but it
:26:09. > :26:14.wasn't. It was a foul in the build up. Wilson got a late winner for
:26:14. > :26:18.Crewe. It is just their second home defeat in League 2 this season.
:26:18. > :26:28.League 2 looks like being a very exciting this season for all our
:26:28. > :26:42.
:26:42. > :26:45.And that is how it leaves the Plymouth are still in the bottom
:26:45. > :26:52.two but only goal difference keeps them from safety.
:26:53. > :26:57.Let's talk about Swindon. Paolo is a crazy one? He is a character.
:26:57. > :27:00.has put a lot of players -- pressure on his players but then he
:27:00. > :27:04.takes it off. The players are looking at him, the stewards are
:27:04. > :27:11.looking at him. I can't believe he is getting in trouble for standing
:27:11. > :27:14.up and talking on the phone! It was his bit suspicious. Are people not
:27:14. > :27:17.allowed to be characters any more? Were should be embracing things
:27:17. > :27:21.like that rather than trying to castigate them and put them down.
:27:21. > :27:29.You want to enjoy your football. It is about in Dortmund. He loves the
:27:29. > :27:36.game. Yes. It was surprising to see him go to Swindon. It is going
:27:36. > :27:42.brilliantly now after that.? He has bought some know-how as well.
:27:42. > :27:46.People are saying it is just about passion with him but it still takes
:27:46. > :27:50.some managing and he is doing that very well. And he has seen football
:27:50. > :27:56.at the very top level and has bamboozled the best of them on the
:27:56. > :28:01.field. The yes. I thought coming from being so good, she would be
:28:01. > :28:05.frustrated, but he has been so good and is like a father figure to them.
:28:05. > :28:08.On to League 1, and some good news for Bournemouth on a planning front
:28:08. > :28:14.for once. They have had their plans for a brand new training centre
:28:14. > :28:24.approved, which is great news. Here is a round-up of Lee Grant,
:28:24. > :28:33.
:28:33. > :28:38.starting with the Cherries. -- of and I do think that Leroy senior
:28:38. > :28:48.could have scored better. A great run from Shaun MacDonald put it on
:28:48. > :28:53.a plate. A Wild West Show for Bournemouth. Exeter have now failed
:28:53. > :28:57.to score in 14 of their league matches this season following their
:28:57. > :29:05.game here. And Wycombe found themselves a victim to a new
:29:05. > :29:13.manager syndrome. We will show you a recurring theme here was top
:29:14. > :29:20.corner one - this leads to a goal. And corner two. A knock-down and a
:29:20. > :29:30.goal. And then caller three, this leads to a penalty and then a goal.
:29:30. > :29:31.
:29:31. > :29:41.-- corner three. And this is trot a's 8 goal in eight games. What a
:29:41. > :29:47.
:29:47. > :29:57.He has come a long way, from Peckham. Exeter on two points from
:29:57. > :30:01.
:30:01. > :30:04.Let's have a bit of a word about that incredible fellow. When you
:30:04. > :30:09.are looking for people to find you up the leagues, you look for
:30:09. > :30:19.goalscorers with good instincts. This one here shows his persistence
:30:19. > :30:20.
:30:20. > :30:25.He put his head down... He has got a lovely left-foot, this boy. Some
:30:25. > :30:30.astute business there bringing him in. Eight goals in eight
:30:30. > :30:34.appearances. Loans like that of the life blood of a struggling club.
:30:34. > :30:38.You cannot afford to bring them in permanently. Good news for
:30:38. > :30:42.everybody. Big clubs come from the players out and get a bit of
:30:43. > :30:48.experience. It is surprising football authorities have talked
:30:48. > :30:55.about ending the loan system. will kill a lot of teams and how
:30:55. > :31:00.will players get to fill out their CV? How are you going to get your
:31:00. > :31:10.experience to say to a manager, I like that lad, he has played 100
:31:10. > :31:10.
:31:10. > :31:16.games. You can't do it. Bournemouth? Yes. Some great help
:31:16. > :31:19.there to settle things and give them the help they needed.
:31:19. > :31:27.final thing before we go. We will reunite a couple of old friends if
:31:27. > :31:32.we can. Graeme Murty and a little lady he laid his hands on a few
:31:32. > :31:38.years ago. You to come home tonight. I don't think you can do that a
:31:38. > :31:42.night! Tried to stop me! That is it for Late Kick Off today. We will be
:31:42. > :31:46.back next week, when we will have the highlights of the big game -
:31:46. > :31:51.Southampton against Leicester. And we will be here up to the season's
