Clearly SL thinks Lee has talent and he knows him better than most of the fans, sees him work, discusses the club with him and hears what others think of him. I back his INFORMED judgement over some of the flaky beliefs that I have seen on this forum. Nothing wrong with friendship and mature people realising that it can take a while for young people to gain experience by making errors and trying different things - if you have a long career in any trade or profession, you will understand what I am saying. The plan handed down from the board was always going to be a "big ask" and the risk of bringing in so many new players in one big hit, was always likely to prove problematic. Falling out with players who refuse to carry out a game plan, or who have some kind of personality issues (Matthews and Tomlin maybe ?? We ill never truly know) - is part and parcel of the game and similar things happen in many walks of life - not just football. Expectations wer high - but we will likely end up in one of the higher league positions we have enjoyed over the last 20 years - I can recall much worse time than these - and I still renewed my season ticket. I don't know much about the other clubs you mention - I am a City fan and concentrate on our club. I remain optimistic and, until SLs judgement shows us that a change is needed, I will go on supporting. I hated the football and kind of feeling in our club when Pulis was manager - shit, if we can survive that we can survive anything! Do you remember the Osman days? Love Lee and get renewing -COYR!

If the next season, we struggled and were facing a threat of potential relegation in March 2019, would you renew - or would you feel hard done by and insulted all over again? Would that make you a fair weather fan? Disloyal ? Get off your high horse ffs what gives you the right to call anyone disloyal. Because the bloke isn't happy with what's going on you call him disloyal . If you want to blindly follow the club no matter what then that's up to you , but to call somebody disloyal or fair weather fan is bang out of order. You come across as nothing but a troll with your holier than thou attitude . I'll await the " but I've supported for blah blah years " response . You sir are a clown True but not very fair to clowns!

So I'm comfortable with my choice. I totally agree with you on all points, each to their own IMHO. Johnson still being in situ has had an effect on my decision, I will admit but it's our choice to renew or not. Like you, I would dearly love to be proven wrong but I won't just renew out of habit /blind loyalty as I have not enjoyed LJ's first full season at all and would not attend regularly if it's the same garbage being served up. To those that have renewed, fair play, I salute you but I would rather spend my Saturdays doing something I choose to do while listening to the games on the radio.

I did the same when tinman was appointed, nothing wrong with it, if you are not enjoying it then why waste your money, you can join in the matchday thread with the rest of the armchair supporters, It's no where near as bad as some posters have been making out, and will still get 12k season ticket holders imo, people will use that to knock the club as well, I remember when we were proud to get 10k turn up for games, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Each to their own if people don't want to renew. It's their lives . So we average what 18000 this season with 13000 odd st holders . In what has been a shit season. What average and st sales fo u think we could be looking at next season. If mid table 15000 average. 11000 st sold. Obviously going to be a difference . If we done well this season we could of averaged 20000 .

Seems pretty standard for City to me. Especially when paying heed to the loss of a star player without a replacement, injuries, incredible amount of bad luck from refereeing decisions and loss of confidence that always has an effect on footballers, I'm prepared to give the manager a chance when he's shown good ability before the bad run and we've also started turning it around since Pemberton left, so maybe, just maybe, the new coaching staff have found something that works? By all means don't renew, but don't pretentiously announce to everyone else that you're not renewing because of the manager. Says a lot about any individual that does that, not renewing because of an agenda against a manager that's doing his best and has begun turning it around.
