Burnley stuck with Dyche when relegated and he managed to return them to the premiership.
Importantly, the fans showed their support also.
Can we say the same about ourselves? If things aren't going well, I can imagine a lot demanding his head, particularly here.
Can you remember the meltdown after Xmas?
Burnley weren't adrift at Xmas. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30544290
In fact, they were hardly adrift in early March: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/31616985
As long as we stay in contact, I don't think we should lose our heads. Our fans will though.
OT, incredible Leicester stayed up that season.
I was thinking more of our fans reaction after 4 defeats at Xmas/Jan.Quote:

And natural , as they care , the club's job is to react sensibly .Quote:

And perhaps the spend control is for a January window recovery where we would see us buy again to bolster or shore up our position ?
But as Neil has said, he doesn't like doing business in January, except for free agents, because the selling club know you need the player and the price is therefore inflated.
Can't argue with that logic but sometimes needs must..........
He's right, look how much we forked out for Madine.Quote:

Hmm, I'mm more confident - this world cup has shown that 'the Cardiff way' when organised and implemented effectively as a team strategy can be a successful one. It's our fixtures that I don't like - we have the members of the big six in two clumps, one in September and again in April. Need a win or two in the early games as September appears pointless.Quote:

My allegiance is to my team, not to a particular type of way of playing the game - we tried to play football "the right way" under Trollope and it was awful. Similarly, if I was Russian, I would loved the win over Spain, but as I'm not, I spent the one hundred and twenty minutes wishing Spain would grow a pair and impose their better quality on the game. So, if City are successful next season playing in a similar manner to the likes of Russia and Sweden, I'll love it, but if they aren't and are struggling, then I'll be slating a boring style of play that isn't working.Quote:

Why dont you post criticising people who continually moan about anything City. Oh, sorry - that would mean you would be having a go at yourself.Quote:
