New Liverpool signing Glen Johnson has suggested he could never trust former boss JM after completing his move to Anfield. The three eagles full back recently left Portsmouth in a big bucks switch to Liverpool as he returns to a top four club after leaving West London for Fratton Park which was originally on loan in 2006.
Johnson points to an incident in the 04/05 season, JM first when he was offered an opportunity to impress before a UEFA Champions League match against the current European champions but was still jettisoned despite performing with aplomb. We had a couple of games to play before the Barca match. JM picked me for a game and told me in front of five witnesses that if I play well, I would keep the shirt he told the ST.
I told my agent immediately that it didn't matter how well i played, I would be dropped because JM wouldn't want me anywhere near the team for the barca game. Sure i was voted Man of the Match and i was dropped from the squad. You would have to ask JM what his reason was but I know it was because he didn't want to see me play well and be forced to pick me against Barca.
That was the day i knew i had to leave Chelsea. Managers have to stick to their word to earn the trust of their players.
