Gary Johnson has left Bristol City by mutual consent following a disappointing run of form. The club have registered just two wins in their last 12 Championship games and are seven points above the relegation zone. The 54-year-old took charge at Ashton Gate in 2005 and won promotion to the Championship two years later before taking them to within 90 minutes of a place in the Premier League. However, their dreams were ended by a 1-0 play-off final defeat to Hull at Wembley. Johnson said: "I'd like to thank the chairman for his continual support throughout the last four and a half years and congratulate him on taking the club to the level it currently enjoys. I thank the majority of the club's fans for their tremendous support during my time with the club.

Clubcall
Bristol City legend Brian Tinnion is calling on the whole club to unite behind the team. City have won just four times since October and are in danger of being dragged into a relegation battle. The Robins face Tinnion's boyhood club Newcastle United in a Sky-televised Championship clash on Saturday (5.20pm) that is heading for a sell-out. Tinnion, a veteran of 551 appearances for the Robins and Gary Johnson's predecessor as manager, diplomatically says he wants a draw at the weekend. The former midfield playmaker now lives in Southern Spain where he runs a soccer school and scouts locally for Everton.
