Top Robin Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 This isn't going to be popular, but I am thinking that for the long term good of the club it would be better if we lost the next couple of games as that would surely mean the end of Lee. If we scrape one draw even, it will probably give him another few games grace which we will probably lose the majority of. I hate to talk like this but I don't think Lee is the answer and the sooner we get someone decent in, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that with current owner/Board the chances of getting someone better, on past experience, is near to zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I can't agree with that . I want to go Monday and win . I want him to succeed. I want the club to succeed. It's a shame some fans are starting to turn. But everyone is entitled to there opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 The board have nailed their colours to the post by handing out a 5 year contract. I think he will still be here even if we are relegated. The sales pitch to the fans about LJ from the club is like nothing I have ever seen about a manager at AG. It is clear he is here for the long run, or until he jumps ship after a upturn in results. He hasn't stayed anywhere long as he strives to move up the football pyramid.

I'll give you Reading, I expect we'll lose that one, but I'm not prepared to sacrifice a little cup run, or take a defeat at home to Cardiff!!! It's never better for the long term future of a club to lose a manager, especially a young one who will learn a great deal from this period.

Fiale Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Surely the best thing for the club is to win the next 2 games and be firmly mid table - not sure anyone wishing the club to lose games just to fit their agenda/views on a manager can really be called a fan.

city1983 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Think last night was the tipping point for most. I wasn't at the Preston game but after every other defeat the atmosphere has not been particularly negative towards the team or manager after the game, I'd expect this to change if we lose to reading. If we were to follow that up with a defeat to fleetwood I think it will turn toxic and think LJ's Position would be untenable. Before we were losing by the odd goal to top teams, and I'd seen enough 10/20 minute spells to make me think he could turn it around, but now we are losing games to teams in and around us from winning (wolves) or drawing positions late on. Need to be getting a point from those games as a minimum i was indifferent to his appointment, didn't see him as much of an improvement on cotteril. I would love him to succeed, but lose the next 2 and that is it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Journalist Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I think it'd be best in the long-term interests of the club that we won the next two games, and maybe the next two or three after that, and end up finishing mid-table after a couple of quality additions in January. I'd be disappointed if my view wasn't a popular one on a Bristol City fans forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkRed! Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Wow. Shocking even by otib standards. Firstly, having done most games this season home and away I would only ever want to see the team win. Secondly, I did not want LJ to be appointed but he was and thus I want him to succeed. If he is fired it should be based on his results and nothing else. Barring this run he has had a good record. Let's get behind him and hope he turns it round and does not fail. Wishing him failure is frankly awful.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you actually want the club to lose the next couple of games so a manager can lose his job... what a belter of a fan you are wanting the club to fail for the greater good? Also what makes you think it will be better in the long run? You have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
