I’m at a loss having just watched that. No new manager bounce, defensively awful, 2 goals in 7 games, zero confidence, a fan base on the edge and an owner running the club into the ground with the assistance of his two yes men.
League 1 beckons but I’m not sure the rot will stop there.
To lighten the load ... a little.

You have more faith than me, lots of good teams and big clubs that have been down there for years. I look at the top few teams so far this season in that league and I don’t think we’d be competing with themQuote:

Pompey had massive problems. Most big sides who stay down there have had massive issues that have kept them down there.Quote:

Where do we go from here? We appoint a decent manager who knows how to get a tune out these under performing players. I am hoping that the board can do that, of course if they don't then it is fingers crossed that the players have some pride in themselves.Quote:

Yeah there are only a handful of genuinely indisputable big clubs in the UK. We aren't one of them.Quote:

But they are a big club and were out of the Championship for at least 10 yearsQuote:

They need sorting. Come to think of it, it all needs bloody sorting.
I think this goes beyond a Big Sam figure. I think this “team” can’t be helped right now.
Is it a culmination of bad moves by senior management? Is it finally catching up to us? Do I ask a lot of questions?
I dunno. But we’re going down and I’m very sad about it. Never in my lifetime did I think City would be Wales’ third best team.
