It has been grim but a lot of it we inflict on ourselves as fans. Everybody that was crap did lose, almost every week unsurprisingly. And in the end it didn’t matter because we finished the season a points generating machine.
It was comfortable in the end. It was the middle I didn't like.
Just read that even if Sheff U, Burnley and Luton all win their last game on Sunday, and finish on a combined total of 75 points, that would still be the lowest combined total of the 3 relegated teams in Premier League history.What’s the lowest ever combined points total of the 3 relegated teams in the Premier League era? This season must be pushing it close.
Looking like 27 points could have been enough to be safe this season as well

19 years today since West Brom pulled off "The Great escape", the only club to have been bottom first match of season, bottom at Xmas and bottom on final day of the season but still survived. . Went down the following season though
Which will get burnt down by the Tommy Robinson knuckle draggers.
I think the concern is likely that any replacement signings will not be nearly as good as those players that we sell. For arguments sake, if we were forced to sell Pickford, Branthwaite and Onana, would we be able to get anyone close to Pickford or Branthwaite's quality with our very limited budget? Highly unlikely. We might get someone close to Onana's current level of play, though his upside is high. Plus, we won't be able to re-invest the lion's share of the proceeds from any sales as we are in such dire financial condition, most of what we get will go toward interest payments and keeping the lights on in my opinion. I hope we can keep Branthwaite another season but I'm starting to have my doubts on that. Onana is gone for sure.
We can live in hope, at least one Money laundering Vice and drugs den will be off the street
If Pickford goes, throw in a cheeky bid for that Ortega from City on loan for a year. He’d be a great stopgap until we can splurge on a permanent replacement.
