“This season is all about survival” appears to be coming from the manager though and certainly not the new owners. He would love our ambition to be 17th because that’s where he likes to operate to keep the bar of expectation on himself as low as possible, because it helps him cover up how basic and limited a manager he is.
We finished 12th last season and he couldn’t get in front of the media quick enough to tell us how it doesn’t count and it was a fluke and we’re back in a relegation battle because the players are crap. Frankly I’m astonished some of them still appear to be playing for them, all he’s done is slag them off since he got here and try to hoover up all the credit himself for any good performances.
