18th place says we are in a relegation battle ............
it doesnt
we are 9 games into the season
it would be an utter freakshow of a season to find us actually down there stressing for the whole season which is what a relegation battle is
we havent had one since Moyes early days and we wont have one this season
so enough with the dull short term panic thinking. we need a manager with a plan to take us forward....not park the bus and scrape points
