After 10 games played, do you think we'll go down?

[Guest kristianity77]

I voted down.  Purely because the powers that be in the club seem absolutely hell bent on making sure we drop.  They are sleepwalking towards a relegation that I'm sure they wont believe will happen until we find ourslves 10 points adrfit with half a dozen games to go and then itll be like "oh Shit!"

 

Completely avoidable if Rodgers goes. But the club is rotten from the top to the bottom currently, and that only ever ends one way, down.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

If he gets until the world cup, I think so. And I don't think we'll be coming straight back up like Norwich / Watford who go down with a load of no marks who no one wants - our squad isn't Skybet, not in a million years - and clubs in the Premier League will go for Maddison, Barnes, Daka, Youri, Ndidi, KDH, Castagne, Justin, Evans... And we'll likely have to get rid because we're paying top half Barclays wages that aren't sustainable in the second tier. The turnover of playing staff will be insane.

 

I can't believe the board are being so thick.

We'll finish third from bottom missing survival by 3-5 points and the board wishing they acted sooner.

[Guest kristianity77]

Also, what we have to understand on this website is that its obvious that the Rodgers out brigade are only on here.  The Rodgers in brigade, are in the stands on a Saturday as you can tell by today.  It wasn't hostile.  The fans are sleepwalking towards relegation too.   If you only have 1 or 2% of the die hards wanting to force a change or REALLY be heard in terms of whats going wrong, without the rest of the fans on board, its never heard.

Voted no, but pretty much this for me.

It's as simple as this. It really is. And at that point it becomes a question of "when is it too late?"

 

 

The sooner the better obviously, but I can unfortunately see him being given until the WC. If he's still at the helm after that point (which basically means he gets another transfer window) then the damage is done and the club won't be the same even if we do stay up.

 

 

Get rid of him tonight and I'd work on convincing someone like Dyche to come on a short-term deal to get us playing with some sort of identity again - that alone will be enough to keep us up and we can step 'up' from there if needed after this shitshow of a year.

[Jattdogg]

The fact that we are talking about going down with the 'high calibre' of manager we have is shambolic even if we somehow survive. At this point us surviving would be more of a miracle than the resurrection of jesus (not the arsenal player lol).

[Mr Weller 2]

Most pundits would say probably not and I’m inclined to agree. If things stayed exactly the same then of course, yes, but they rarely do. At the very least we have another transfer window. 

[Mike1983]

23% chance of us getting relegated according to this. Forest’s probability looks accurate.

[Vestan Pance]

I had some hope a few games back but the longer this goes on the less chance we have of persuading someone decent to come in. We'd be looking at taking a punt on a unknown. 

[taupe]

I want to vote 'no' but I think that's the heart talking. We're not getting points against sides we should be, and I just can't see that changing.

 

There's going to have to be some pretty major changes to turn this around, there's no money available for the next window...I dunno, unless Rodgers becomes someone else, embraces a new attitude and outlook, I just can't see us having what it takes to stay up.

 

 

[ARM1968]

Rodgers will take us down and blame everyone but himself guaranteed. Wasn’t his fault, just needed another £100 million to spend. 

[Captain...]

If nothing changed we're going down, if Top and co are going to back Rodgers they need to splash some serious cash in January, which because of the World Cup will give us 2/3rds of the season to turn it round. If they don't change managers and don't buy 4/5 quality players we will be relegated.

[ealingfox]

Yes but with the caveat that there's still time to save ourselves if THEY GET THE ****ING TWAT OUT NOW!!!

[Corky]

Yes. They'll keep Rodgers too long.

[Pliskin]

All of the statistics suggest we’re going down. 

[Always Next Year]

No

[Dan]

We're striking the perfect balance to go down. We're absolutely shit, 100% down if this absolute dickhead stays, but he just seems to cling on every single time.

 

It just feels ominous. The way everything felt weirdly good when we won the league. It's the opposite. Everything that can go wrong will. It's got that feel about it.

[Winchesterfox]

We're down if Rodgers stays.  I can't see where we're going to pick up 30-35 more points with him in charge.  The players look lost.  The fact he is still peddling the excuse about not buying more players  irritates me beyond belief.  

[desertfox2]

Yes but if we get someone in before the Jan window that can be trusted to sign quality players and back them we can easily stay up. 

[Hammo]

The likelihood of relegation increases exponentially with every day that Rodgers remains in charge.

 

How the owners do not see that is beyond belief. The evidence condemning him as unfit for purpose in every aspect of his job has been stacking up for months. How much more do they need to finally put us all out of this misery?

[Cropwellfox]

Last year I think we beat Brentford, Southampton and Palace at home - and Leeds. This season 2 points from these games, and no confidence we will beat Leeds so there’s potentially 9 or 10 points fewer. We don’t have a chance of staying up with numbnuts in charge 

[BenTheFox]

I am worried that if Rodgers is not sacked and the task will be too big for the next manager. Getting rid of the arsonist is one thing, but most of the house has been burned down. 

[lcfcell]

if it wasn’t us and looking at another club in our position we’d all say 100% down. maybe if hes sacked asap we can stay up but we feel like a club destined to drop now 

[filbertway]

I genuinely think there's a chance now, which is mental with this group.

 

Rodgers is accepting it, the board are accepting it and the majority of match going fans are accepting it. Embarassing.

 

Every person applauding the players and showing an acceptance of the current situation are also accountable at this stage.
