The Prophet Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Its probably still around a 3 or a 4 for me. Once the players are fully fit again we should have enough quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are already 6 points off 16th and I can see that increasing with the run of fixtures we have between now and January. Only hope I have is that we get a manager AND COACHING STAFF, that will pick the correct team, set the correct tactics and motivate the players. If we are cut adrift come January, then I think we will struggle to sign the quality players required. I know going down would probably be only a temporary setback, but it would be so furstrating. I have had some depressing moments as a NUFC fan of 36 years but being relegated as the richest club in the world, when the takeover happened with only 7 games played, would top the lot. It doesnt even bear thinking about. Edited October 30, 2021 by Wandy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WackZeeEeerz Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 We've not been bought to win the Champions League, we're a footballing asset for the PIF, the PIF will swallow up more European football clubs over next 24 months. NUFC will fit into the footballing family and help the PIF corner European football, even if NUFC don't win a thing. A nurturing ground and feeder club. Who knows, they may even challenge UEFA's monopoly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 7 at the minute for me based on how poor we are more than 7 points adrift by Jan window is my guess then it's a case of do we push to stay up and spend or not. If we don't spend we go down 4 players minimum needed to get the spine replaced which won't be cheap in an ideal world only 3 of those players today should ever be on the team sheet ever again but won't happen as its too much. Mountain to climb but still doable and still very much in our own hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegation could really ruin everything. I still think the Saudis will still be determined, as they waited nearly 2 year to get the green light. As for the league, any rule would be challenged and taken apart in court in terms of the owners. That boat sailed when they allowed the takeover to proceed. I would be frustrated as we would experience a period of two year (maybe even more) behind where we could have been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's left the club in a helluva state. But this squad won a lot of points towards the end of last season so its not as bad as some would make out. A decent manager will get them playing on the front foot. Jones is opting to8 defend and try to score on the break. Which to me smacks of a coach with limitations ala Bruce!!!

Ketsbaia Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 8, honestly. Only hope is that our exceptional circumstances could convince a Wilson or Willock to stay for one year in the Championship. ASM is probably a bit too far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Caulkin said on POTT the other day that the new owners would just see relegation as an extra year to get to where they want. It’ll be shite if we go down like, but confident that they wouldn’t want rid of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I don't think we'll go down, but if we did I wouldn't be too concerned. It would certainly be a setback, but we have the ownership in place to ensure we would come straight back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that the owners will sort out relegation if it happens and it’s up to them, what I’m worried about is what the other premier league clubs do the year we go down. Now is probably the single most dangerous time to go down, even more so than the others, because while we are notable exceptions for our ability to come straight back there is every chance the other teams lock us out and we end up proper fucked.
