Amazing isn't it?

That fraud Ancelotti will be surpassed and then some this season, even after this atrocious run.

If things turn out bad (possible) I will send that back to you when we are lining up against Preston NE next season ;)

You could also quote him the top quote here. I think it is still mathematically possible but that's going to be some run! He only posted it in December as well, remarkably.

I agree - the doomsday is out of control at the moment.

However, it would be fixed, if the Club would communicate properly and the supporter base didn't have to rely on anonymous supporters to provide news (these supporters are doing an amazing job).

Moshiri has the right to do things his way, for its his money, but the arrogance and complete contempt for the fanbase is, more than anything, just really disappointing.

Add to the fact that the communication from our only public figure, being Benetiz, is also incredibly poor, cryptic and arrogant, I can understand why the fume has manifested into this extraordinary pit of despair.

It doesn't matter what PR stuff the club put out we'd still have a poor team assembled over 6 years needing sorting out during a season in which we've had no attack to speak of.

It would be the end of us being anything resembling a "big" club

We'll be one of those clubs that takes up space in The Championship and occasionally has a failed run at the Play Offs, and possibly even a stint or two in League One if things get bad enough

Get ready for 15-20 years of lower league football if we go down, at the very least

Lord knows how many potential supporters we'll lose in those ensuing decades to Liverpool or the Manchester clubs

Even if we do ever manage to get back into the top flight after all of that, the damage will be done

Those who are confident that we're safe better hope they're right, because if they're wrong then we're all in for many years of misery. Some of them might honestly die with us still in the second or third tier and will never see us back in the top flight again

Lets be realistic, any acknowledgment of us as a big club is accompanied by a patronising pat on the head. We have had next to no aspiration for most of the premier league era, happy to receive an attendance certificate - ever present Everton, plucky little Everton, the nice guys of the league, gentlemanly and charitable to a fault. The custodians of the club have been asleep at the wheel for 30 odd years.

Moshiri came in with big words, aspiration, money but zero competence and we are an omnishambles. He's either a good conman or all the bluster about Bill waiting for the right man etc was all swill to disguise a need to keep his mucky paws on the tiller.

We can point the finger at the owner, board, players and rightly so, but there is one man who needs to affect change in our fortunes on the pitch and he's not doing it and doesn't look like he will do it either through a failure to understand a game that's passed him by or by his pig headed stubborn approach to management. Time to go.

Anyone in the 'we're too big to go down' camp should take a good look at our run in and our form.

The two A's kill a club like us in situations like this

Apathy and Arrogance

Fans either apathetic to the situation or ones arrogant enough to think we're too big to be relegated

There's only one way to help your team out of a relegation situation as a supporter

1. Believe it can happen
2. Care about it happening
3. Turn your home ground into a bear pit so the players can squeeze out the necessary points

Even then, there's no guarantee, but it's better than being the dog in the burning coffee shop

Right now not enough of our fan base are in the right mind-set. I can probably even class myself guilty in this regard as well, as I'm definitely dipping a toe in the apathy section. The club has broken me this season
 

There must be some optimistic Blues employed in the odds-setting department at William Hills. Just been checking out their relegation odds. We are currently 12/1. I'd say that's very generous and if was a supporter of any other team I'd be on it. What's weirder (though totally irrelevant) is that we are 250/1 to win the league while WHU for example are 300/1!
