City would be just 2 points above the relegation zone without that penalty.
So still above the relegation zone with a game in hand - win that and we're 6 points above the relegation zone.

Before Lamouchi's first game, City were 3 points behind Birmingham, 4 points behind Stoke and Bristol City, 5 points behind Hull and 6 points behind Coventry. We're now 7 points behind Birmingham and Stoke, 10 points behind Hull and Bristol City, and 20 points behind Coventry.
Last I checked, Birmingham, Stoke, Hull, Bristol City and Coventry aren't in contention for relegation. The gap to them is thus irrelevant, you may as well cite the points gap to Burnley.

Lamouchi's tactics have often been suspect, while his substitutions (or a lack of them) have sometimes been baffling. With the possible exception of Kion Etete, I don't think any of City's first team squad have improved at all since he took charge, and the team's increasing habit of starting matches slowly has become a real concern.
Agree on hose, and that's the reason I'd not be in favour of hm getting a long term deal. I also think the style of play he wants, over the course of a season burns players out, as seen at Forest. We have less depth than they did, so could be a major problem next season.

It's obvious that another rebuild of sorts will be essential during the summer. Given what we've witnessed during the last three months, I'd be actively searching for a new manager if I was City's owner.
Lamouchi has kept a side lacking depth in the division, which was the goal he was set. He's got the best out of Kaba, seemingly. I could see him getting a one year deal.
