JONES IN, JOHNSON OUT
Weeks away from embarking on their maiden Championship season, Yeovil Town chairman John Fry has made the extraordinary decision to sack successful and popular manager Gary Johnson and replaced him with unknown Welsh manager Gwyn Jones, 33.
JOHNSON REACTION
Gary Johnson, 53, is a well-respected manager and has refused to comment on events thus far, the ex-Latvia manager preferring to stay in the shadows.
The experienced manager had accumulated 6 years at Yeovil in two separate spells at the club, winning three promotions and the FA Trophy in his time at the club.
FAN AND PLAYER REACTION
"Can't believe what's happening at Huish Park #FryOut"-@YTFC4EVA
"Just want to thank GJ for everything he's done, hope we can progress under new boss"-@Gary_McAllister
WHO IS GWYN JONES?
Gwyn Jones was born on the 23rd of June 1980 to Rhiannon and Dafydd Jones in Aberystwyth. Jones attended the much-fabled Aberystwyth University, where he earned a degree in Sports Science. Jones grew up watching Aberystwyth Town play in the Welsh Divsion and played for the club, winning the Mid Wales League Division 1 on 4 occasions and the Aberystwyth League Division 2 once.
This is Jones' first job in management, and he could hardly have picked a harder one.
