Honestly, it sounds like John was a problem and needed to be fired a long time ago, before he created this unmaintainable mess.

I work with John, my role is as the replacement for another John. I’m trying to be open and fix the issues, but they just want John back, and the other John who’s here, is so territorial, even when I try to help, he just tries to undermine and fight me.

Fucking John.
