RT's Vaseline Tub Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 I’m at The Den now and it’s all too easy. Only Korey & Bobby trying. They know it’s an easy gig as LJ will never be sacked due to his relationship with the Board. i used to think that was a good thing as it bought stability but I now realise it’s a very cosy comfort zone here at the Club we all love - the culture has to change...

Guest Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 it wont until those at the top are changed and I doubt if I`ll live that long. We go where they take us, they have the seats mostly filled for next season, job done until April next year. round and round we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 I support LJ and WANT him to start as our manager next year BUT if we have another season where we inexplicably slip down the table and can’t seem to buy a win I will be calling for his head. Not going anywhere when we cannot maintain form and he cannot seem to stop the rot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 3 wins in 19 games. Why do we have spells of blowing hot and cold in a season. Quite worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Dicks Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 What can be said? Lee Johnson on one of his world famous runs again. I think at one time we we're 6 or 7 points clear of 7th, Lee Johnson a perfect candidate to cock that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 The positive in all this is the free ride for both Johnson and Ashton is gone now. All the goodwill generated up to Xmas from fans who were previously unsure or positive Johnson was the wrong man has now evaporated as he seems to be proving people who wanted to be wrong that they were actually right all along!! So the next transfer window is the most important one we have had for years. Get this one wrong and suffer a bad start next season and the bullshit won’t wash any more. This notion that you can pick and choose when to mount a promotion challenge is just that, total bullshit. Interesting times ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does this “he’ll never be sacked” thing persist. Such a myth. It is on record that he was very close to being sacked last season. If we had declined further this season he would almost certainly have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed the culture does need to change and that's why SL appointed LJ with licence to create his own backroom staff and appointed MA to oversee the club, Its not about one result or even one season. It's about creating stability over the long term. Looks like City are going to lose today and slip further away from the pray offs but that won't be the end of the world. It's still been a good season. City will be back next season and in a much stronger position for the experience of another season becoming established in the Championship.

ZiderEyed Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Expect I'll get torn to shreds here but what has LJ actually done today? He's chucked two strikers on and gone hit and hope. Is that management? Couldn't any of us have done that? It's aimless. Sort it out Johnson for ***** sake, there HAS to be a plan B that isn't just go long. ******* pathetic.

For most of my 54 years following City the club has been a cosy place. This is nothing new. It may change for short periods but the culture always returns. I don't get into the rage some fans do precisely because I know this to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you think for a moment we will have an even better opportunity next year than the one currently being pissed away.??.. It's been a good season for two reasons. 1) the very impressive EFL cup run, beating PL clubs along the way before losing by a late goal in both legs against the eventual winners. The cup run hugely raised our profile across the nation. 2) Compared to where the club was just a year ago the club has experienced a significant improvement in the Championship table flirting in and around the top six for much of the campaign., despite a crippling and lengthy injury list, most of which were long term injuries.. How many goals would Famara have scored if he'd been fit all season? Even now after today's loss City are 8th. Most of us would have more than settled for that a year ago. It's another season of gradual improvement and yet you still see plenty of critical comments about LJ, that he doesn't know what he's doing, that his transfers are shite, that his tactical nouse is lacking, blah de blah.............. Sure, it's disappointing that City have gradually faded but maybe the exertions of the EFL cup run has finally caught up - who knows? Get over the fact that City have slipped over recent games and look at the whole season rather than just half of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 It's all too cosy & comfortable! No need to do better because in the long term, failing this season is acceptable. That is the upshot of what Mark Ashton said. And the players know this too. The best ones could well be elsewhere by August, and the rest know that LJ is safe, so if they don't like what's going on, they are in no position to change it, other than not bother. And they will still get paid. It's only us fans who get stiffed! We are trying to emulate the "Southampton Way" but it's no guarantee of success. And it needs the right man in charge, which is in more doubt now than it has been for nearly 12 months. We need success first today then you can build and develop for tomorrow. Constantly building for the future is a mirage designed to distract from current failings & failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The form is a concern, although it's possible to make a case to explain why it's happened. Regardless, as I've said in another thread, I hope he can learn from this run as he did from last year. I certainly think he's earned the right to be given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Why does Lee not come out and say "I know what has gone wrong and this is what I intend to do about it"? The problem is that he doesn't seem to have an answer to either, so maybe he is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
