    We'd certainly be sitting with West Brom or Swansea.

    Don't think we could of been mathematically relegated yet though

    Without Rafa's decent start to the season we would be much further in the mire though.

    Once again proving Ashley's reluctance to support his investment is bad business.

    For someone with so much business acumen his refusal to invest at key times astonishes me.

    Thing is, football is a business like no other-normal rules don't apply.

    He hit upon a winning formula with Sports Direct but when he tried to apply the same principles to us they didn't work. We've wasted a decade under him. Time to get things going again.

    Kevbrown is bang on here.

    One of the main reasons he stayed on last season was because the fans loved him so much.

    A good few booing turncoats out there this season - if they keep it up and the Fat man doesn't sell up then we will be probably lose him.

    This guy is a top six manager with a bottom six squad, lucky to have him.
