I think it'll be close, like 50/50 at this point in time (and that's being generous) - not blaming the new owner though, the damage was already done before they got here, to both reputation, state of the club, et all. If the club itself was viable to a good, top end manager then fair enough, I just think we're in such a state that it was always going to be difficult. If we go down, it won't be the end of the world, it'll just postpone out world domination for a season or two.

10 ffs. 
 

How much you got in the bank? Go stick it all on us going down.

we'll see.  If we employ Howe - I think he will be sacked by end of Feb at the latest and nailed on to go down.

Good to see you aren't panicking....

People thinking 7 points from next three games, we haven’t won a competitive game since 23rd May ffs

[Geordie Ahmed]

No chance we get 7 from the next 3 but I don't think that's necessarily a must.

 

I'd say a minimum of 7 from the next 5 is needed, ideally 9.

Steve Bruce has been sacked though. 

[Billy Pilgrim]

9.8 for me as of this very second. The fucking whiplash of following this club is incredible. 

[The Prophet]

Its amazing people have jumped up a couple of points since the Chelsea defeat when very little has changed.

[Guest HTT II]

I think we will struggle to stay up with Howe, so much will depend on not being cut adrift by January and being able to strengthen with proven quality. I just can’t see Howe being able to get us enough points upto that stage sadly.

I laboured under the delusion that the pig was just a little dirty and I’m presented with the fact that it is actually airborne

Isn't that the entire point though.

 

Was thinking we need 7 before the tough fixtures kick, any less and can't see us staying up, the gap will be too big with anything less to have any confidence about staying up.

That's fair enough, but no one was expecting anything from Chelsea and it was looking unlikely we'd appoint anyone in time for Brighton.

[GWN]

Down to 9 from 9.5 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

No doubt it’s in the balance, strap yersels in. 

[Peppe]

If we were to be relegated and then won promotion again, can the PL fuck us over in any way when it comes to our owners? Would we have to go through a new OD test or how does that work? 

 

If we were relegated I'm not worried we wouldn't come back up sporting wise, but I'm not sure how worried I should be about us getting shafted by the PL ?

 

 

[Krabbe2]

You can be sure that the so-called top 6 clubs will try something clever to stop us.

[Raconteur]

I thought I’d go from 1 to 0 with a new manager appointed, but with Eddie I’ll leave it at 1.

 

We’re not going down.

[Geogaddi]

Was about 6 or 7 thinking we would get a good manager in but now after appointing Howe I am 10.

[maze]

10.

[Pilko]

5 for me. We're a shitshow after fourteen years of chronic mismanagement. Howe clearly is no mug but is he the right sort for an immediate and abrupt reversal of fortunes? I'm not so sure either way, hence the fencey vote of a 5.

[Superior Acuña]

4. Terrible position, but better manager and money to spend in Jan should make us less likely than 3 other clubs.

[Guest]

From an 8 to a 5. We’ve got a chance now.

[HaydnNUFC]

Probably a 5 or 6. Still 6pts to make up, Jones has still done the bulk of preparation for Brighton so we'll probably get beat again. Hopefully though we get the manager bounce and take points from Brentford, Norwich, Burnley and Leicester.

Hopefully just him being there will give a lift for Saturday. If we can win and Arsenal turn Watford over on Sunday then it’ll look much healthier.
