This is the season...

[LTA]

I'm getting to the stage where I'm immune to all of this.

I'm sick of this club being a doormat for other clubs to walk all over.

I'm sick of the endless list of cock ups our hierarchy continue to make at boardroom level.

I'm sick of being the butt of jokes while our bored and witless owner hides in his bunker.

I'm sick of this boards endless head in the sand attitude of "we'll be fine" and the endless cycle of "rip it up and start again", and "we must have patience".  Christ how many more times are we going to rip it up and start again?

I bloody love this club, but after 26 years, I'm wondering if it's time to start doing something else on a Saturday afternoon.

I've predicted that we will survive this season and I'm sticking to that but it's becoming more and more difficult. I think it is now dependent on Fox  flipping the coin once more at an appropriate stage (and I mean earlier than last year).

[nodge]

No

[TheMalandro]

No.

Bad start for sure but I feel that many are beating Sherwood with their frustration from the past few years.

[Witton Warrior]

No.

Bad start for sure but I feel that many are beating Sherwood with their frustration from the past few years.

His record thus far is not impressive though is it - looks like more of the same...

[PeterWithesShin]

Nope, we'll stay up.

[black pearl of inchicore]

Villa the club that careers into monumental fuck ups every couple of decades...Late 60's, mid 80's....Due another rather soon.

[Louzie0]

Not until the mid 2020's. Missed the one in the 2000s, unless you count DOL, 2003-6.
And I do.

[Smirker]

I think so.

I've just seen the next 7 fixtures and I could easily see us losing them all.

"Too good to be relegated"

Unless some club in the 2nd division has whored themselves out in an irresistible fashion to the EPL elite

[OzVilla]

It already doesn't look like there's a willing sap from the Championship to automatically fill one of the relegation spots. I'm not saying this will stay that way but usually there's atleast one you can pick out straight away has goners.

Let's hope one or two of them revert to form soon.

I don't think mid table security is going to happen for us now though.

[olaftab]

If we keep the useless twat currently pretending to be manager in charge after the end of October yes.

If we can find someone with half an idea of how to do the job properly, no worries.

This.

[KRS]

The answer is no. Lerner and Fox aren't stupid enough to gamble our PL safety and the TV money by remaining loyal or giving Sherwood too much time...theres simply far too much money at stake for them not to have eyes all over the current situation already. I doubt he'll get sacked in October or November simply by virtue of the fixture list, but if there isn't an upturn in results by the end of the year and our PL place is genuinely at risk then expect a managerial change...however saying that, we're currently at 1pt from 18 so if that goes to 1pt from 27 or 30 then it could come earlier than expected.

[rob_bridge]

The way the fixtures bounced this season it's hard to ask for a more comfortable start.

Every single game on paper was winnable even Yah-nite-ed as 2nd game while Van Gaal was shuffling his pack.

We have been better to watch than last season and eveneasier to beat.

[PaulWinch again]

I tell you what, and this is no criticism of you Lee, but the fact this thread comes up earlier and earlier each year just illustrates how bad we are. We're just in a cycle of ineptitude, and something has to give eventually.
