You moan about poor football yet you want Warnock or hughton who achieve league position whilst playing the most boring football going. Speak to any Brighton or Cardiff fan and they will say they did a great job but the crowds disappeared due to the awfulness of the footbsll Crowds ‘disappeared’ ?! Utter tripe! Why make stuff up?! In Chris Hughton’s five seasons in charge at Brighton their average home crowds were: 2014/2015 - 26k 2015/2016 - 26k 2016/2017 - 28k 2017/2018 - 30k 2018/2019 - 31k In Neil Warnock’s three (and just under a half) seasons in charge at Cardiff their average home crowds were: 2016/2017 - 17k 2017/2018 - 20k 2018/2019 - 31k 2019/2020 - 23k Yes Cardiff’s crowds dropped by a fair bit when they were relegated from the premier league, but that would be true of most clubs - and even then they were averaging more under Warnock than the season when he got them promoted into the premier league. So, not sure where you dreamed up Brighton’s and Cardiff’s crowds ‘disappearing’ under Hughton and Warnock - the facts suggest otherwise ...

Yet we get stuck year after year with Lee Johnson, with rubbish football, and clueless tactics. But it's ok, we might improve THIS year by a position or two. Maybe by the end of the decade he might actually manage to get us promoted. You ought to tell this to SL and MA. I'm sure they've got ring binders full of job applications from 'genuinely fantastic tactical managers' who would be guaranteed to get us promotion. D'oh, why didn't anyone think of this before? Sorry, but it winds me up every time someone suggests we should simply appoint someone like Chris Wilder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBlockExile Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Football Managers or Head coaches all seem to have a life cycle (I admit there are a few exceptions Furguson etc.) and without doubt LJ has run his course. He must know it. He has had time...Money and some gifted players but it has not happened and so it is time for everyone to move on and bring in a new manager. Of course we have been here before and it does not always work but we have to try before the bottom falls out of the club and its loyal supporters leave in droves. Lee will find a new club and City will find a new manager ... life goes on. But move on it must .... we played with zero passion last night, When that happens its over and out. The OP has a desire that people don't go on the forum and moan about things. Hmmmm i believe the forum is a place to air your views and after last night I would be amazed if any City Supporter did not have a view on that performance. Finally a thought .... Sideways and back did not get us into the first division in the seventies and probably prior to that in the 1900's .... anyone who watched the performance last night will agree this brand of Football will never get us back to the promise land.

They care, like we all do. Most of us are s/t holders, all of us passionate fans - or we'd not bother posting here. I'd never call for people to stop watching or caring for this club, just because I don't agree with them. Moreover, I can see the arguments that have led many to the place where they are now. FWIW my position is we aren't going down, it is a few months to the end of the season, let's see how he does before we assess in June. A continuation of current form should (and I think will) result in a dismissal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 I think as seasons go it’s ended up being pretty bad entertainment wise - one of least entertaining I can remember. I totally understand if this is the reason people are wanting a change - I'd put myself in that camp, although with the caveat of - at the end of the season. The reactions posted on here beyond the quality of football are often hyperbolic and ridiculous. The idea that LJ is clueless and hopeless is silly. Yes we have a better squad than I can remember in our recent history – yes we have spent a lot of money – yes with the quality of players we have we could definitely be playing a more attractive type of football. But do those who somehow think we are massively underperforming really think our squad is infinitely better than Fulham? Forest? Brentford? Preston? Even Leeds who are clearly better on paper and have a much more experienced coach are not that much further ahead (especially if you accept, they are better than us an remove our head to heads). We had posters who when LJ was first here were complaining they just wanted a season where they didn’t have to worry about relegation – then when that was delivered switching to lets get someone in like Warnock who will grind out results – well that’s what we’re doing its not pretty ( I hate it) but actually you can’t argue it isn’t working. People are mashing the quality or entertainment into the quality of results and they are not the same thing. Results are consistently being delivered. It’s not pretty when we win but we are as consistent as anyone – pretty much everyone above and just below us has had bad runs this season too. We had posters saying any one who doesn’t want him gone are blind, naïve or even deluded – but we are 3points form the playoffs. So seemingly because of the frustration at the quality of football and the fact its hard to actually critisise our league positions we get these relentless threads about anything and everything (there were 9 up just minutes after the Huddersfield game – some before it was over). Just this week for example we had people complaining about how Wells must be regretting moving as it would be hard for anyone to score in our team a couple people even saying Kane would struggle in our side but we have 49 goals this season – more than Fulham and Forest and the same as Leeds and Preston – of the teams above us only WBA and Brentford have more. We are not a hopeless lost cause we are a very effective playoff contender playing awful football. Ironically, I wouldn’t want a manager like Warnock because of the style of football they play but I’ve ended up with that anyway. In all honesty I would be happy for LJ to go unless he can improve the quality of what we are watching significantly or get us promoted. But to remove him now with where we are and the fact that however uninspiring the football it genuinely could get us into the playoffs. It’s also stupid as limits who we could go for as many managers will want to see out the current season and it will be harder to pull them away.
