Relegation 2022/23

[NathDogg]

The overall feeling I got from the crowd last night is that we’re just broken as supporters.

I don’t see or feel the fight, even in myself - just a tired, desperate acceptance of the whole depressing situation. It’s a slog

When you see the team doing bigger all to affect things, it’s a worrying combination.

Last season knocked the bejesus out of us, and this season the punches keep on coming, and I don’t think we’ve got it in us as fans to lift ourselves and the team off the canvas at the 9 count, Tyson Furey-like, as we did last season.

The team and the players are going to have to do more this time, and that’s where we are in trouble.

Agree but a new manager might galvanise the club. We absolutely need a change of manager.

To get us back into the Premier league will require investment. Big investment. Investment that he's not prepared to make. So he'll have a choice of either trying to rebuild the club on a shoestring in the hope that it'll pay off (and considering his lack of interest in the club and his inability to build something even with decent money I'd that's unlikely) all as the clubs value goes down by the day and his chances of getting his money back becomes less and less likely.

Or he makes a quick sale when the stadium is at its newest and shinnyest for the most he can get and cuts his losses instead of throwing more good money after bad.

He will sell whatever is left and with that plus the parachute payment he should be able to build a team to win promotion. Calculated gamble that will make sure he gets his money back...

He's wasted millions and millions and millions while failing miserably in a totally unpressurised environment where finishing as "best of the rest" is considered a success. There's absolutely no way that he'll use what he's got left plus the parachute payment effectively enough to build a team that's good enough win the championship or gain promotion. He'll just throw more money away and end up with less when he does sell. The longer he holds the club the less he makes when he finally gives up. Its over. The only thing that he still has any control over at this point is how big a loss he's going to take when he does sell.

I understand what you are saying, but I don’t trust the board to make the right appointment mate.

Feel lost tbh, I’ve had enough of them all.

This is my biggest fear. There are a couple of other really poor sides this season. But if we are losing to them too.. there really is no hope, Bournemouth and Wolves have been in appalling form until we rocked up.

No I don’t either. But Lampard cannot continue, we won’t just go down with him, we will go down without a fight. Get someone in now, get as many in as we can on loan, and give the whole club a lift before a monumental game against Southampton.

He might, Frank did do that last night, but problem we have now is not everyone fancies most of the candidates, there dosent seem to be a name that wont have some against him from day one

Yer the candidates are grim, but Wolves and Villa went out there and got someone, we can too. We aren’t dead yet.

Great post that and agree with every word.

Funnily enough the lad I sit next to basically said the same things almost word for word, said he hasn't got it in him to do what needed to be done last year, getting to games 2 hours earlier, setting flares off giving everything just so the players put that extra 20%.

Said earlier on another post I don't and haven't for a long time gotten any joy from going the matxh anymore, just takes up time and money and leaves me frustrated angry and ruins my weekends.

Super computer has us staying up on goal difference

And Brighton too

 

[luuk_deventer]

I disagree mate. Leeds didn't disappear. Aston Villa didn't disappear. Newcastle didn't disappear and they got relegated twice. It'll be horrible but it won't be the end.

The worry is that none of those had the massive costs of a new stadium attached to them. I’m sure we didn’t forecast a massive drop in income in to the projected stadium plan.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The owner and board deserve to go down

The players don't deserve the same level of support as last year. Some of them can't be bothered to put in a shift. They are a disgrace

 

[Gareth Gibson]

As others have said: there’ll be no coming from relegation. We’ll be another Luton or Sheffield Wednesday.

All we as blues can do is get behind the players and hope for a miracle.
