I don't think the "strong chairman" thing is true any more. I think he's weak, and has effectively given up on turning us into a Premier League club that can challenge domestically and in Europe. 5 years on and we're in a worse position than when he arrived. At least Doug went out having given it one last shot.
It will be bad enough not getting a European place. Our "closest challengers" are even further ahead as it is.
Given that the BBC are now reporting that GH's position is not threatened then relegation is a virtual certainty. Yes it would be very bad and yes it might take a long long time to get back up - remember what happened after 1967?No, most of you don't do you - a lot of you don't really believe that this is going to happen do you?Another reason why we are doomed - denial within the club, owner, management and fan base.What more proof do you need? I'm sure of one thing - you're are going to see it. You think things have been bad so far - well f*cking watch this space!!
Quote from: Bad English on January 06, 2011, 01:18:59 PMI know we've got a French manager (and Robert Pires and Robert Duverne), but I doubt even they are surrendering at this point in time. Have you heard Houllier's post-match interviews? He gave up a long time ago. I'm surprised the Samaritans aren't campaigning to have him banned, I'm hard pressed to stop myself jumping off a bridge after listening to him for 45 seconds.

All this talk as if we're down already. With a half a season to go. Get a fucking grip will you.
