    Our turn next season if LJ is still here,once his better players leave he is going to be in the mire.

    You said all this last year. You know when you told us you won’t be buying a season ticket again and nor will your friends.
    Tell me how did that work out for you?

    It didn't and in fact City's average attendance rose to higher than any other manager in well over a decade, probably 2 decades - apparently this is the yardstick of measurement for LJ, or at least it is in terms of what he has spent.......

    I think the crowds were due to Ashton Gate being revamped,it happens at all new stadiums.

    God almighty!!! You could say that about ANY manager who has left a club that has later gone on to be relegated!!!

    There are countless of those journeyman managers touted as prospective replacements to LJ who fall into that category!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lots of clubs have revamped/new stadiums but not seen an uplift in attendances, just ask, Coventry, MK Dons, Doncaster etc... Having a team people want to watch is what brings the crowds and LJ has done that!! As Redprintt would say - that's accurate!!
