But we weren’t fighting for a play off place today or for the last ten or so games before lockdown. We were/are a bit of a turgid mess and I can’t see how anyone can say otherwise. i think we know where we are now. If Johnson is here next season we know that deep down lansdown is happy with being a mid table side and is just paying lip service to promotion. That’s fine but the biggest problem in my eyes is that Johnson’s football is unwatchable. Especially at home. Looking at all valid points of view Johnson has progressively but very slowly achieved the club finishing higher each season. However the questions are is this good enough regardless of Covert restrictions, is this what City fans expect, how long can we keep waiting, Does LJ play the correct players on the day, does he play his reliable favourites and not look at the bigger picture with the quality he has available. As long as he is the manager he will do and get away with what he thinks best. Me personally we have come along way over the last 3 or so seasons but we need to be as a club being a threat to others and the way we are playing now and I could go back to the Blackburn game at home late last year we are not a threat to any clubs in the way we play. Many years ago I was an LJ critic when he played mid field for City. Ok he was a good player but just didn’t have the over all quality. I think same is asked now by many others and his peers if he has the ability to go further as a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt many owners would be too happy losing 10-15 million every season, for marginal improvements in league position, season on season. LJ is pretty high maintenance and given the money he’s spent in transfers, and the losses by the club during his tenure, I’d be very surprised if SL is that happy with his bangs per bucks under LJ. I certainly wouldn’t be, if I was in his shoes. The problem for me is with just a small dip in results, any progress made under LJ in the last 4 years could easily all be lost in just one season. Sadly LJ as a head coach mirrors LJ as a player ......unspectacular, but fairly steady and in truth, pretty dull, which is sadly also mirrored in his teams.

We made a pre-tax profit of ~£10m last set of accounts and that's with Adam Webster's transfer being in the 19/20 accounts rather than 18/19 to bolster them, so yes last summer it was 'real profit' and we're well inside FFP at the moment (or this 3 year period now even) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrizzleRed Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I was under the impression we were sailing pretty close to the FFP limit after the Nakhi Wells signing and that was only made possible by selling Jamie Patterson, otherwise we’d have been in trouble. Happy to stand corrected if that’s not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone losing their shit on here is quite embarrassing, we ain't gonna win every game.... Judge the bloke at the end of the season yeah, gobshites How many seasons have you been watching city?
