Relegation Possibility

[Jimbo]

How the fcuking hell have we ended up being relegation candidates so soon after being Champions League contenders?  Our decline in the past 3 years is remarkable.

It took Ellis five years to take us from champions of Europe to relegation. That was remarkable.

It is frustrating for us to be in this position. Boofy infuriating in fact. That said, I can't see us being anyway close to going down come the end of the season.

Wigan ,Blackburn and Bolton are the big fixtures win them and we will be ok ..my worry is AMC is going to continue where he left off tonight and try not to lose ...

Also we Keane going and Gabby injured we are pretty light on attackers.

Ellis would have sacked Ekk by now. Better teams than us have been too good to go down, better than the ones around them, had crazy wins at top clubs, and gone down. Ekk has previous here, he is a skilled dropper, Randy and his poodle Faulk know nothing about football, and the manager they hired knows precious little if they followed his game plan well today!!!

ELLIS did'nt make us Champions Of Europe...It was Mr. Ronald Bendall

I think it was Ron Saunders and Tony Barton TBF.

Blackburn
Fulham
Bolton

That's the games  we need to win because were going to struggle with the others

Ronald Bendall was the Chairman in '82...it was won on his watch....like any success or failure, its the chairman and the board that take the praise or the flak...Its called LEADERSHIP.

This season we will be ok and AM will keep his job, it is next season I am worried about!

We don't "need to win" them all though.  7 points will be a massive result on current form.

Just had a go at the BBC predictor yet again and end up with us in 13th with 40 points, Wolves, QPR and Wigan relegated, dosent mean fuck all but when you hit the button for the final table and we are safe it does make you feel calmer for a moment or two, all posters try it and you make yourself feel better.

God, how we have fallen - talking about needing 7 points from that shower
Not so long ago that was a given 9 - 12 points

It is what it is.  We've regressed about 6 years.

Nothing is going to change the fact that we are an average team in dire form (for the past 18 months) with a manager under massive pressure. If people are expecting us to go on an end of season run they can dream again.

[Dave Cooper please]

Like I said in the other thread, I don't think relegation would be that bad.

I can't be arsed to read the rest of your post. Fuck off, relegation would be a fucking nightmare.

Our injury list is getting worrying now

Clark-out for several weeks
Herd-no return date
Dunne- looks like out for a few weeks
Gabby- reports of him needing an op in Summer
Keane - (not injured I know) Gone after Wigan
Our already thin squad is now looking transparent
