Afar and chicago had it spot on.
We were knee deep in the shit the moment Keegan left/was fired. Afar, Tsunami, myself and a few others were ridiculed for pointing out our concerns with the squad, the owner and the management team way before that moment.
I have to admit even I didn't see relegation as a realistic scenario, because I wrongly assumed that the people in charge would do everything within their power to prevent it from happening, be it appointing a recognised manager, selling up and/or properly investing in the squad in the January transfer window. As it turns out they have done nothing of the sort, hence it can be no surprise that we are back in the bottom 3 at this crucial stage of the season.
For Ashley & Co to transform us from a club aiming for European football to a club on the verge of relegation in under two years is a monumental "accomplishment".
