Could anyone here have seen this coming after we had just qualified for a European final? It wasnt exactly 50 years ago either but God have we fallen since then. With relegation nearly inevitable at this point do you think the club are planning ahead to make sure our stay in the Championship is a brief one?

Yep, the way we're going we'll be out of the championship & in league 1 in no time!

Doesn't take much if your a small club in the Prem, lack of investment, poor management, injuries, bad luck

I have seen this coming since Mark Hughes season with us. When he left it was clear the Al had every intention of selling the club. Jol spent on Ruiz and that was it. No more investment in the club.

I have no idea if the club are planning anything. Our recent transfer window and then change of manager was the last nail in the coffin for me. We are going down because of short sighted, tight fisted approach. Frustrated after all the effort of becoming an established Prem side to see it thrown away by poor management everywhere at the club.

I think the fear is that the club wont do what's necessary to get us out of the Championship. They simply did not plan ahead after the Europa final and I think they took it for granted that we would always be a premiership team and look where we are now. When Al Fayed was here I always felt he was doing the bare minimum to keep us in the Premiership after he realised the Man Utd of the South thing was going to take more money than he originally thought. not sure why he sold to Kahn but the cheque book will have to be opened big time next season parachute payments or not............

he sold to Khan because he made him an offer he could not refuse.

Kahn gave him a legitimate British passport???

at the final i wondered about middelsbourgh and what happened to them, and what happened to us after 1975.

roy leaving was a blow and the events with hughes also another blow but we should and could have weathered that. Jol was a very bad error and it was not corrected soon enough, the issue of rene being the correct replacement has been cut short, and I believe felix has been given too little time to really show us what he can do. it took roy ages to turn it round and in his team he had several goalscorers, in this team we do not have a proper center forward/striker capable of holding up the ball..... 6 points is what is needed fromn the next two games as a minimum!
