I think he should stay, simply because our new administartion have backed him, and to me that is a positive indication that monies must be available to him.

His track record this season is nothing more than astounding, bearing in mind he was not able to bring any fresh faces in coupled with injuries to key players.
Ok he has had more money than Blackpool , Scunthorpe and the like , however, lots of teams in this division have budgets that dwarf ours. Nottingham Forest certainly have spend big and they failed at the initial stage of the playoffs, to Blackpool.

I would like to know who would be a better replacement on a cheaper wage?

After the disastrous end to last season, my own view was that Dave Jones should have resigned then - even if it wasn't his fault, someone had to take responsibility, and I think it should have been him.

I have stayed away a lot this last season, but to be honest, I feel Dave Jones has proved me wrong. I didn't think we would make the play-offs again, but we did. Brilliant run at the end of the season, and the win against Swansea more or less ensured we made the play-offs. Once we made the final, my own view was, win or lose that game, Dave Jones had done enough to prove his worth.

Add to that the fact that his buying and selling skills are brilliant, I think he should be given another season.

I agree, he's on a massive wage - perhaps he should agree to a pay cut? - and I disagree with people who say supporting City under Dave Jones has been the best ever - I still say the Sam Hammam era was easily the best, ie. most exciting, including 2 promotions, one as champions. But the other problem is - what can you do anyway? He is obviously not going to resign, unless another club comes in for him, and they're not going to sack him either.

Hopefully with some backing over the summer DJ can strengthen and push on for promotion again.

I'm still undecided at times, but I don't know whether changing the manager would really help. A lot of the players seem to speak very highly of him (McPhail etc) so I think we should give him another season and see what we can do.
