So, you are Pontius Pilate: whom shall we keep, Lee Tomlin, or Lee Johnson?

Come on now lads!

We all want Lee sacked, but there is no need to be rude about it.

I wish him the best in the future - as long as that is not managing City, and we kick his teams arse, if we ever play in the National League / League 2.

Good luck Lee.

I don't think anyone has discriminated against the manager due to his amount of 'tallness'.

It's a can of worms, discrimination, isn't it?

What happens if a very short (non-tall) person wants to be a goal keeper? You can't say they are insufficiently tall, as that is discrimination. Hypothetically, they can be as good if not better than a non-short person, as long as they are really exceptional at jumping.

Take dogs: small dogs are usually excellent at jumping, whereas a larger animal get bite the postmans fingers without needing to jump.

No-one getting sued today.

Keep them both and buy the players to play 3-4-1-2 properly - that means goodbye Mark Little, Adam Matthews, Scott Golborne and Joe Bryan (tin-hat time - but he is one of our own).  Turn Cotterill into a wing-back he has the experience, pace and stamina to cope

Cotterill - Flint - that bloke who is Captain but hardly open his mouth and is so non-descipt his name has escape me - Magnusson - ANO

Brownhill - Pack/Reid

Tomlin

Tammy & Durex

Subs: Not Fielding - ANO, Bryan (just to keep you happy), Vyner, Reid/Pack, O'Dowda, O'Neill, Taylor

Get rid of them both.

Look at the difference in Championship stature and record. That should tell you everything.

I'd say 22 out of the 24 teams would want Tomlin. I'd say 2 of the 24 would want LJ.

No argument on the LJ part but would be very surprised if more than half a dozen would want Tomlin due to his wages and (unconfirmed !) bad attitude and disruptive nature - IMO.

£15k a week isn't all that much for most of the clubs in the division. He'd be a 'marquee' player signing as he was for us too.I'd say all of these bar maybe Preston and Barnsley would pay for his wages, and want him.

Never thought I'd say this, but I would keep Lee Johnson. I'm in no position to judge him as a manager but I don't think everything he's done has been bad. On the other hand, I haven't seen Lee Tomlin do very much except mouth off at the refs and get booked. Maybe he's a disruptive influence they don't need?

[cityloyal473]

No brainer: get rid of both.  Neither of them has shown anything that indicates they'll be an asset to the long term prospects of the club.

I think you're being a bit ott.........not even Rotherham would take LJ.

Artificial choice . Could keep both, lose both or keep either. No necessary connection.
