Relegated

Started the season thinking we'd be in the bottom 4 with Brentford, Sunderland and Burnley. Thought we'd go down when we lost to Leeds on 20th September, knew and resigned myself to it when we lost to Burnley on 26th October. The subsequent 6 months have been just getting to the inevitable.

This is the 9th relegation of my lifetime, 8th I can remember and the one that was the most nailed on so early, even more so than 83/4.
 
This has been the worst Wolves team I can remember. Even the teams in League 1 and back in the old 4th division had players you actually liked. There isn't a single player in this team I could give a shit about ever seeing in a Wolves shirt again. They are are all shit. And so is the manager. If I was a betting person I'd put money on us getting relegated again next season.
 
A nightmare season, and not particularly looking forward to next season either.

Relegation can happen to clubs our size.

If we were a well run club with believable owners, that’s a decent statement on confirmation of the drop.
We aren’t and they’re not, so just say nothing and start by putting things right.
 
I hate this team even more than the diabolical 2012/13 mob (not the manager, but then I probably prefer Pol Pot or Nigel Farage to Dean Saunders). Just no redeeming features. We can't attack, we can't defend and we have zero heart. The fact we've had Sa and Doherty captaining us FFS, I can't think of two worse leaders.

Mick McCarthy in 2006, Kenny Jackett in 2013, we need that kind of job again now. Proper blokes getting in proper blokes to bring back proper pride because at the moment we have none.

Jeff Shi, if I see you ambling around Castlecroft I'll give you a dead leg.
 
I love some of your analogies. Dead legs were such a 70s/80s thing! Probably 60s as well but I was only at nursery then and can’t remember.

Great words. Let's see.
I don’t believe a word he or anyone from Fosun say.

They have a hell of a job rebuilding trust with the fanbase, so let’s see some positive and swift action rather than words because without the action, their words mean nothing.

Not gonna shit on the statement too much as they can't say or do much else tonight, but good PR and vibes won't arrest this decline, hopefully someone at the club is aware of this
 
Good PR is better than the last 4 years so it’s a start. I agree with the sentiment that they’ve got a hell of a job to do on the playing side just to be competitive. Changing the manager would help but we know that won’t happen until it’s too late.
 
I'm taking the opposite view and going to shit all over the statement!

These fuckers have been gaslighting us for the past few seasons, bullshitters.

I'm going to need more than platitudes to persuade me that the wankers mean business.
