It's got to the stage now where there is nothing even remotely constructive or positive that you can say about the current manager or the club's situation. If it's allowed to continue, then relegation is a certainty next season. That's if we get away with this this year.

As for McCleish, he may be out of his depth, but he's no fool. Someone will have advised him to sit tight, grin and bear it, then wait for the pay off.

Is that a coastguard I can see in the distance?

If only. When they suspend bets, I'll assume they know something. Until then, I'll assume the status quo.

He's not going anywhere, be it this season or the next.

7 wins in 29, 2 wins in 2012; its beyond piss poor.

cant see him hanging on till next year, the writings on the wall and he knows it, we know its just a matter of time,

just by posting he's going nowhere and he's here to stay a million times a day doesnt mean your tempting fate in a positive way to see him gone,

 this is a dead man walking

He's not going anywhere. Randy isn't going to admit this mistake.

I think we are also a dead club walking. Never underestimate AMs capacity to get a club relegated. Fulham was just a minor blip for him.

I bet he is. And it's one bet I'd love to lose.

33-1 at some places for relegation if anyone feels like softening the blow. Couldn't do it myself, an Albion fan has just informed me.

Not a chance They wouldn't be letting him sign players if this was the case

all the signs to me suggest the manager and players are just going through the motions,
 they all know it wont last, i would imagine most people behind the scenes at BH would not be supprised when the push comes,

my Dad supports Man Utd , whenever they are playing he always says 'this wont be easy' when Man City are playing he will always say 'oh City will win this easy' i think he thinks its some reverse sort of phycology against the powers that be, i get the feeling posting ' Mcliesh is here to stay' is a similar thing.

but he will be going, i have said before the tipping point came and went a long time ago, there is no way he can hang on in my oppinion
