Of course there have been some failures, we have always had some failures, almost always when we have spent more money that was good for us, but we still have a whole raft of players that are worth more now than when we brought them to the club, that hasn't changed just because some of them are out of form. To date He’s made a loss , including some extremely substantial ones, on every player he’s signed and then moved on with HM somewhere around par As for the ones in the current quad , in today’s ever inflating market, it shouldn’t be difficult to buy ,develop and sell at a profit...

Guest Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Huddersfield, Brighton, Palace, Fulham, Bournemouth, Wolves and even Cardiff can do it then why cant we? answer = manager and a club with no leadership or currently, ambition. You can add the likes of Watford to that list as well.....really if they can we should at the very least be battling for a top 2 place; All those clubs do have a decent manager, we have a learner who aint learning.

This was the final table in 16/17. In 15/16, when Johnson came in and replaced Cotterill, we finished in 18th place, 12 points clear of the relegation places on 52 points - comfortably clear of relegation. If you’re going to talk about urban myths and spin, it’s worth getting your own facts right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I stand to be corrected here - can someone list out all the ins and outs and explain how we have made a loss during LJs tenure? we’ve certainly had some duds, but Reid (£10m), Kodjia (£14m) are big incomes - plus Flint at £8m, Maggers (£2m) that’s quite a lot - has LJ really blown more than £34m?

The longest unbroken spell at Championship or above since Alan Dicks. That may not mean much to you, but I e seen enough of League 1 (Div 3) in my time to appreciate what we currently have.

My worry is he will never learn despite some promising moments. As many as he likes as long as we're improving year on year. Sweet baby Jesus, every team that's not in the top 2 will have a barron spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been watching city for over 30 years mate so I know what I’m seeing at the moment, and it’s not great the footballs poor, would love to see a side like joe Jordan put together first time round, gavin , Smith proper wingers , Shelton , rennie, Taylor and Turner up front that side got you off your seat and didn’t cost a lot, footballs obviously moved on alot since them days but for what lj has spent and the time he’s been given we’re a poor side and have no way of playing, can anyone on here tell me what our style of play is ??

IAmNick Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 @reddogkev, author of such threads so far this season as "Lee Johnson, stay for life!" after 3 wins, and "This team is good enough for promotion" after 4 wins, talking about how annoying it is when people make knee jerk reactions after changes in City's form... really?!

AppyDAZE Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 A short musical interlude. Please read nothing into the title of this song, i'm making no statement either way, it's a nice little ditty from yesteryear, it's rather good, and it does no harm to hear a little music while we mull over the pros and cons regarding our present head coach at BCFC.

On transfer fees alone we havnt it would have been a big deficit before the sales in the summer but is now sitting at something like £6million up Thats good eh...... The problem with that is doesn’t take into account loan fees or signing on fees and in essence we asset stripped in the summer and sold the crown jewels Not sure bar Kelly potentially what’s left now if we had to raise decent money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, as the last xmas window proved are not setting any sort of height to reach at all and seem happy just to plod, we have got lucky a few times this season to put us in our current elevated position; reality is going to hit a few on here sometime pretty soon now.
