2024/25 Relegation Thread

Simon Jordon, whether you care for his opinion or not, reckons Southampton & Leicester are deffo gone. Also reckons Wolves have 'had their bounce' and thinks we'll finish above them regardless.

Was speaking to a Wolves fan I work with yesterday and he made exactly this point. They've had their bounce which has brought them back up within touching distance of safety, but they left themselves far too much to do with their awful run at the start of the season. He reckons 50/50 they go down.

I agree. They look a rabble that'll get spanked 3 out of 4 games then come up with a win.

Ipswich look a decent team but with no cutting edge. I see them going down with S'ton for sure.

My big nightmare scenario is Leicester sacking van Nistelrooy and turning to Dyche.

Dyche will come back to haunt us if that's the case.

That would be some twist…

I wonder how that would play out. It's pretty out of the ordinary for a club to sack 2 permanent managers in the same season. Also, can they afford to pay him and his staff off to get someone new in?

I wonder if the powers that be at Leicester have accepted they're going down and are planning for the Championship next season with van Nistelrooy in charge.

Bit silly to just dismiss Wolves because they've lost to Forest and Newcastle.

If they mess up games at home to the likes of West Ham and Leicester in the run in then yes it looks bad for them. Also still got Ipswich and Southampton away. I think they can get another 4-5 wins and a few draws on top.

Owners will do everything to avoid losing their PL status.

That's why I think TFG should be actively looking for a successor to Moyes this season. They would be completely insane if they didn't given the investment they have tied up with this club.

If it gets a few games down the road and we're on the receiving end of 2/3/4 more losses Ild pull the trigger on Moyes without hesitation.

Of course you would :lol:

Leeds in 22/23 had Marsch, Javi Gracia and then hilariously ended with Big Sam for last four games.

They got it spectacularly wrong there as if they'd sacked Marsch a month earlier then Dyche was available and he'd have kept that Leeds squad comfortably up. Then need to give Big Sam about 8-9 games to see if he could do anything.

Leicester only have four points under RVN. Their one win West Ham had over 20 shots on goal and the draw was a bit of fluke in coming from 2-0 down at home to Brighton with three minutes left, Brighton had totally dominated that one.

Not a great basis of work to suggest they're going to be winning many games at all in next four months.

But they are only a point behind us now. The first 21 games for Ipswich, us, wolves and Leicester don't make a difference now and it's the 17 games that are left.

I think 32 points will be safe this year.
