They'll only come up with excuses or I'll get in trouble for personally attacking people. If you genuinely don't see the same 5-10 posters posting the same negativity every week, even when things are going well, that's your fortune or prerogative to ignore it.

But criticising the same people endlessly who want the same (normally because they have an "agenda") is just the equal and opposite. Both sides have very valid points. They should just agree to disagree but put their energy into arguing their case rather then undermining the other. Enjoy the difference of opinion. And the banter. I've seen over 1000 City games.

If the championship has taught us anything it should be that money spent on players and league position bear very little correlation. It's an absolute unknown how well or badly Cotterill would have spent the money Johnson has. Also bear in mind that incoming transfers are in no way just down to Lee Johnson.

But I wouldn't rule us out of doing that under LJ too. And there you have it. Johnson has been backed, to an unprecedented extent, and didn't. Backed with OUR money mind, not just Lansdown's. So we are entitled to our constant tedious opinion. And I confidently predict that "three windows" Johnson will not have us challenging for the play offs next season either.

I myself said he should probably go at times throughout the season. I was delighted to be proven wrong when we went on the run we did to end the campaign. My problem is with the same minority of names that focus solely on negatives, give no credit for any of the good work and make posts like this which are quite simply clutching at straws and nitpicking. At no point have I criticised people for having an opinion of wanting Lee to leave. I criticise those that focus on certain things to conveniently suit an argument or repeat the same tedious stuff on a weekly (daily for some) basis to twist everything into a negative.

Had we kept Kodjia I'd agree with you but I think our league position would have reflected that better. I wouldn't think we'd challenge for the play-offs next season. I'd settle for a mid-table finish with no relegation battle. A season without extremes would be nice! Although I wouldn't complain if we were at the right end! People are welcome to their opinions, as am I to mine. As I posted above, it's those that focus only on negativity that I end up debating with. Nothing personal but it is the same names regularly doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do players always get credit when it's good, and managers when its bad? Yet never the other way..... noticed this often in recent years. Wenger is a great example. It's his mistake that Ozil stands on the pitch with his hands on his hips....hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
