could we get relegated?

[villadelph]

I think, contrary to belief, that we do have money to spend but Randy wanted to see where we were in terms of the core team. He will be willing to spend in January, and he will open his checkbook for incoming talent. That being said, I can't see us going down. Sunderland, Fulham, Blackburn, West Brom and Bolton are all crap right now as far as I'm concerned, and those are the somewhat big teams with issues.. the smaller and newly promoted sides will also struggle much more than us, ie. Wigan, Swansea, Wolves, QPR and Norwich. I don't believe any other them will be able to hack a full campaign better than we will. We'll stay up "comfortably."

PNB Army = Pink 'N' Baby Blue Army. Don't take a lot of working out does it.
And I bet you have a relation called Barry.

As recently as last week to the Supporters Consultation (or is it Consolation?) Group, Paul Faulkner was telling us that the club has to stand on its own two feet.

It is bemusing how so many people seem reluctant to accept this, despite it being made pretty clear by the club, and despite recent evidence backing it up. Standing on its own two feet doesn't just mean getting the wage bill down, it means living within its means in all senses.

I honestly think there are a lot of people on here who think we're just taking a spell off, ready for another spending assault. There wil be a lot of disappointed people.

With reasonable clubs, not the mega-rich, football works in cycles. If you don't think Randy will make some signings in January I think you, yourself, are delusional.

Did any of the "we're doomed" mob see Sunderland defend tonight?

I didn't.. care to elaborate? Then again, I'm not part of the crowd that believes we're doomed in the slightest.

[JUAN PABLO]

Imagine what we would be saying If we had spent what Sunderland had spent and then played like that .

Delusional, or going off this summer and what the club have actually said?

They've never gone back on their word before. 

Let's be real, if you don't think we'll buy a soul in January.. that's ludicrous.

[Risso]

I sense a moving of the goal posts.  I didn't say that we wouldn't "buy a soul" just that he won't be willing to spend.  I don't for instance, think that we "spent" this summer, even though we wasted £10m on the utterly shite N'Zogbia, because it came on the back of getting nearly £40m for Young and Downing.

Agree to disagree. Depending on our situation come Christmas only time will tell.

[Chris Smith]

Six games and we've decided N'Zogbia is "utterly shite" and that we've wasted the money we spent on him. The impatience and short term thinking is getting beyond a joke now.

He has been shyte, doesn't mean he'll always be shyte as he has the ability.

I can't wait to see him doing what he did for Wigan, and hope he does it against them on Saturday.
