Survival/relegation

[Spezial]

Where do we go from here in terms of management etc do we stick with AK see if he can pull us out of this slide back to the championship or should he be sacked and new manager brought in with no idea what his best squad will be how to make this team perform? We have 11 cup finals and tbh the games we have left I can't see us winning 2 or more so I think we're already down. Only gibbo and clayts and friend seem to care not the club of last season.

First of all i have no hope of survival and have said that for months , the club is a mess in my opinion our recruitment is a joke , why people are surprised about the football i have no idea you could listen to any maddo comments from the last three years and hear the same comments again and again , karanka got us up and i applaud him and actually think with better players he will be a very good coach , my hope was we would survive and add flair then judge him on next season, ive changed now he has to go , i dont want another season in championship of this brand of football , hes clearly lost the players , hes now lost 75% of the fans , the club has no direction and the sad thing is most fans are resigned to relegation . This is a shit premier league and weve blown it for whatever reason, everyone from the top down needs a look because weve fucked it up . Hope im wrong , i'll never boo karanka ever and it breaks my heart but sack him , and if were gonna die then lets die with our boots on and go down kicking and screaming and not in an induced coma

The main problem for me is that the team just isn't good enough to stay up and it never has been.

We've got major inadequacies throughout the team. The squad is littered with players who are Championship level but have failed to make the necessary step up.

We bought very poorly in the summer; speaks volumes when Fabio, a midtable Championship full back is our best signing alongside Valdes (without him keeping out the shots we'd be rock bottom). Chambers has been great too but too often has been shifted to right back to accomadate Espinosa or cover for Barragan.

Forshaw has glided through this season on the back of a handful of good performances at the start of the campaign and looks worse every time he plays. De Roon was brought in as this much heralded defensive shield and has ended up more often than not being our attacking outlet in the centre. A fucking Watford reserve that barely scraped in their 25 man sqaud has come in and brought more creativity than anyone else in the engine room.

Our attacking options are appalling. Our main threat is a 21 year old that has never scored a professional goal. Ramirez is clearly already gone and is playing that way. Never thought I'd say it but Stuani should be in the team every single week. Fischer has been non-existent this year, point of bringing him in?

Up top, we can pick from a bloke that managed 5 goals in La Liga last season, a mentally broken Bamford or Rudy Gestede, the biggest fucking wagon known to man, who wasn't even first choice in one of the worst sides in PL history.

The buck clearly stops with Karanka, but he's been let down by our recruitment team (aye you Bausor, you jumped up prick) and ridiculous expectations. We came up on goal difference. We have the worst squad in this league, everyone around us has at least one proper quality player that would walk into this team and be the best lad in a red shirt.

Fuck knows where we go from here. I honestly don't see Gibson sacking him, not even if we go down. There isn't a single suitable realistic replacement for him.


I'll back the bloke until he goes. He's given me memories and built a team that helped me truly fall back in love with football again. Back the team. Back the club.

It's only relegation, anyway. Have a bit of faith. Burnley did with Dyche and look at them now.

Gonna win the cup and all. We're all going on a European tour

Worst team in the league to watch. Probably worse than the mackems as well. Backing AK till the end still
