Relegation Thread 2023/24

[North Shropshire Lad]

Given that there's a very real chance we could be looking for a new manager in the next four weeks, who are the available candidates that we might go for and who might say yes? I don't know too many that come to mind.

Look at the O'Neill thread

Look at the O'Neill thread

Sorry - I hadn't seen how that thread had developed in the last 24 hours

They have blown some early points opportunities. Their October to Christmas run is horrendous

They still won’t go down. They are somehow immune to relegation.

Not this time

They have had two scraps in a row (will be three) but this trope that they've spent 20+ years circling the drain is ridiculous. No they haven't!

No, but whenever they have been in a scrap they have survived.

1994 in particular was ridiculous!

Really hope Everton will be relegated this year

 

[jd1981]

I think they’ve had about 5 genuine relegation fights since the PL began 93/94, 97/98, 03/04, 21/22 & 22/23. The rest they’ve been either nothing or 7th.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

03/04 wasn't really tight either. Us, Leeds and Leicester were miles adrift.

 

[Tony Towner]

They were in free fall when Moyes took over in March 02, 1 win in 15

Everton above us on GD as it stands, and everyone below us has games in hand

I think there's reasons internally and externally as to why we didn't win today, but we needed to. Everton shouldn't beat Brentford today, but are going to. We seem incapable of getting similar results so far this year - Utd, Brighton, Palace, Liverpool

 

[Tredman]

We look absolutely nailed on for relegation. We're not even picking up the surprise results that lower teams can do, we're don't look like beating anyone.

Unless GON is replaced before the end of next month I think it's a foregone conclusion

Playing squad we’re about 14th-15th
Manager 19th-20th
Mental strength in the squad about 19th-20th

The football is as bad as I’ve seen us in the PL and the mental brittleness is at 03/04 levels.
The apathy has been allowed to get into the club since the end of 19/20 season to a point it’s ingrained in the fabric of the club.
It’s now ingrained in the fan base writing off fixtures and being content with survival.
The annoying part is Jeff spinning it off some sort of master plan.
The way we’ve played football has been unsustainable since the end of the 20/21 season.
The squad is unbalanced and very inconsistent.
Just all proves a good effort v the sky super 6 means absolutely fuck all and absolutely isn’t a pre cursor to points v weaker opposition.

 

[pagey]

I've been delusional, friends have warned me, but untill tonight I've brushed their opinions aside, todays performance was fucking dire, this squad should have enough to finish atleast 15th but with this muppet in charge we are heading for 19th, above today's opponents.

Sorry but we offer fuck all going forward, other than a solitary moment of brilliance or luck every match, unless we can change this and our current manager/staff wont, we're are going to be playing luton again next season.

 

[jd1981]

We’re shit at both ends we concede 2 for every 1 we score so far. Not helped by a continuation of our head coach not playing our best CF.
CH pairing needs changing as everyone can see that it’s an atrocious combo.

Could be in the bottom 3 after the Villa game.

That's surely the death knell of The Bromley Bruce

 

[prawnking]

Could do with Sheff Utd and Bournemouth losing today to prolong that...
