More likely the new Wimbledon. We've got "AFC Everton" written all over us

The pessimism isn't just about the points total, though, it's about the trajectory. In our past three PL matches we've played the league's bottom club at home twice, both times we took the lead and both times we tamely surrendered the lead. Since then the board and owner have declared war on the fans and signed no players for a team that have scored 15 goals in 19 games. In our remaining 19 games I would be amazed if we pick up 10 points, never mind 25. I don't see how this ends with anything other than relegation, soz.

It wasn't just aimed at you. The death cult is quite a force on here atm.
As I said, it's understandable people are forlorn. But there's a route out of this that isn't fantastical and it's quite straight forward: new manager and a player or two.
We're not adrift by 6 or 7 points. This is a relegation scrap between about 8 clubs separated by a few points.
How there's an "inevitability" about falling through the trap door to the Championship I dont know. You and others are going VERY early on this.

To be fair, today is Blue Monday, the most depressing day if the year: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/blue-monday-january-2023-depressing-day-b1050497.html

You are right the lower league is literally littered with historic clubs like ours with 40-50k stadiums, 9 league titles and so on. I just don't know how we will attract championship players from going to the likes of Rotherham, Norwich and Coventry instead of us.
Give your head a wobble or go find something that doesn't cause you distress, you'll feel so much better for it.

A couple of things:
1/ that trajectory can turn upward with changes that can and will be made.
2/ the fans have been badly advised to take down the owner and board. That call has to be ignored. It's a battle for a day when safety is reached.
If we get a new manager in that will bring unity for a while, and we sorely need that right now.

The problem is there isn't even a murmur of a new signing, let alone a new manager. Farhad thinks everything is fine. The board are more preoccupied with demonising the entire fanbase.
You look at the table, and of course we could - and should - get out of trouble. But then you look around you and you see Frank, Kevin the Gerbil, Billy Liar, and Denise in a metaphorical neck brace - you can't see Farhad, he's AWOL - and you realise that the club is burning from the top down.
Farhad has fiddled since November. He didn't recognise the alarm bells, let alone hear them. People - including many fans - were complacent about the danger that was clear and present by the week Bournemouth's caretaker hammered us twice. We have every symptom of a club in freefall. And we sit, like a frog, oblivious to the rising water temperature that is slowly boiling us.
