We’re on our worst points total after 9 Championship games under the Venkys.

We won't get more than  30 points! 

There is not enough  talent in the squad, made worse by the manager being totally out of his depth!

Is this what some of us have been hoping and praying for? Relegation to League one and maybe down to League two in the hope that the owners will finally get rid? I know it sounds daft but maybe we are soon to see a chink of light at the end of the tunnel.

As I see it this season it's which team will come down with us and Wednesday?

It will not matter to the owners what League we find ourselves in, they will just keep cutting more and more costs to compensate for the decrease in income

[Mattyblue]

League 2? Don’t need Brockhall or a Cat 1 Academy or the Riverside. Mothball, ‘consolidate’, sell the land etc and keep cutting that cloth.

They will deliberately let Ewood Park fall into a state of disrepair and then sell it off as they move towards a ground sharing agreement with Clitheroe or someone similar. 

They've already deliberately relegated both the men's and women's teams this season.

I'm sure some walnut brained troglodytes will applaud the move coming out with the usual guff "wot duu uww oxpikt wiiii iz o smoll tuwn klu6". Fuck venkys, kentaro, SEM and fuck anyone who supports them in any way. Absolute cunts.

I think someone  Wilsden said on here over the weekend that this is our worst start to a season under Venkys. Very worrying considering during that time we have survived relegation twice on the final day and been relegated twice. Strap yourselves in.

I only looked at the Championship seasons.

I’ve just checked and the year they got us relegated from the PL we were doing even worse (5 points).

Probably is the goal, but why? What’s the point of any of this?

That's what I can never get my head around. Why bother going to all the trouble of owning us, just to stick us in League one (or two)?

Just sell the fucking club, if you're done with us.

IMO, they will only be done with the club when it folds.  I think there are obvious reasons why they won't sell.

It could take another 5 to 10 years to 'see the job through' but in my mind it will happen and our club will be finished.

This squad lacks the quality to even stay in the Championship, head coach is clearly out of depth, won't be surprised if we ended up finishing rock bottom with a record low point tally. League One is staring at us right in the face.

You have predicted that yearly for about 10 years to be fair.

If I'm honest I think the writing is already on the wall but, if we harbour any desire to make a fist of this we need 4 points this week.

I can see 1, maybe.
