I’m going to stick to my opinion...Last season was too early for us to get promoted. We needed the extra season to rebuild, gain understanding and develop. Sadly, we can’t do that in the Premier League. Coupled that with a dreadful transfer policy, money spunked all up the walls on what is effectively garbage... If we get relegated again, it will be time to rebuild. Again.
Not going to be this game that relegates us, it will be the many other games where we took nothing. Manager clueless, should have gone ages ago but didn't. So here we are looking at an awful run in, labouring away with hopeless wingers, zero pace and a striker who has almost never actually scored. I fucking hope the owners don't decide they've had enough, that's all I can say.

I said back in February it was time to make a change. I would have brought Allardyce in at that point and said so at the time. We may have still gone down but I think he would have kept us up. I hope upon hope I am wrong but I think we will go down with Norwich and Bournemouth.

I don't buy that I'm afraid. The only thing to do in that division is get the fuck out of it as quickly as possible. I don't buy the assumption we'd have come up the following season, almost certainly without at least one of our best players.We got promoted, it was up to the management team to sort out our problems and they didn't. They didn't solve any in January either.
