Like Pat Jennings said in ‘77 ; “ this stated three years ago “ .

It’s a classic case of things happening gradually then suddenly .

Absolutely. It's very clear to see where this all began and how it developed.

Only utter fuckwits are stupid or obsessed enough to claim it was down to ANY manager let alone the single one they happened to spend two years cunting off.

But then Twat1882 didn't bother going to Bilbao and doesn't bother going now we're in a relegation fight. So it's no surprise to see him peddling this horse shit.
 
The board aren't 100 per cent to blame but they are high percentage culpable. Its the gutter media and sky stirring the shit with us over the years. That cundy is a prick. Redknapp had to tone down. Sky have allowed merson to have endless pops on air. Sky is a bit unprofessional tbh. Only have it as shows our matches. Plus chelsea, City and Woolwich have hijacked us. Eze, khusanov, semenyo and the endless amount of hijacks we've endured the pain of. Board have made mistakes. Im guessing but I reckon Ange might return. We need a spark in dressing room.
 
A friend gave me a Daily Mail article written before the Liverpool game, comparing this season with 1977, with insight from Gerry Armstrong, John Pratt, Terry Naylor and quotes from Alfie Conn's book from that time. The parallels are quite uncanny - ridiculous injury list, change of manager, experienced players being moved on and not replaced by the same level of ability.
The biggest difference is that hardly anybody thinks we'll bounce back straight away. :(

With our squad and resources, we should surely be able to beat Brighton, Wolves and Leeds, which would be enough. Any win soon would help (Sunderland next).

But you could've said the same about Palace...Forest...Fulham...Burnley...West Ham. We got a single point from those five games and 3 were at home.

Our squad and resources clearly don't matter at the moment, sadly. We've been the worst team in the league for half a season and on the basis of our form over the past 4 months I don't think you can say we should be beating anyone.

Only hope is we get stumble into an unexpected win - maybe with a new manager - and finally get a bit of confidence and belief back into the squad then go on a run.

But the evidence of my eyes suggests we're v.likely doomed and will only scrape 3 or 4 more points if we're lucky.

There are 3 people to blame.
Vinai, Lange and Frank. That’s it.

Maybe you could point the finger at Charrington and ENIC as keeping Frank for so long was footballing suicide and they could have stepped in sooner.

Vinai and Lange doing next to nothing in January apart from selling a player who scores goals and replacing him with a high energy workhorse midfielder was essential gross negligence.

But here we are. Since matchday 3 our form has been relegation form.
The table doesn’t lie.

At this point I mainly feel sorry for a lot of people who will lose their jobs this summer.

At least our tickets will be cheaper I guess.
And no expensive European trips for our fans either with air fares going up.
Silver linings and all that.
