Was thinking about this after watching MOTD and looking at Swansea's results since Christmas. Six games and 1 point until yesterday. Do we have the patience.
Exactly.................What poor taste. Just enjoy the remaining games - Fans deserve to enjoy these last 2 matches. It's bee a long time coming

Given a small few were moaning about the loss on Friday, you could well be right.

We may well be happy to drop back into the Championship. The last time we were in the top flight didn't compare to the fun we had getting there. I can pretty well guarantee we'll be looking back at this season with misty eyes for many a year. I hope we stick with CH regardless.
Love us to be a force in the Premier League but it won't happen overnight and it could be grim for a few seasons.

Where has anybody suggested we would be happy to drop back into The Championship? Relegation would make next season a pretty miserable one for all of us.
The point is that long term, going back down may not be the end of the world - hefty parachute payments, plus a full season of PL booty would leave us in a much stronger position to get promotion than we were at the start of the season; more money in the bank, and some more PL standard players at the club. I won't be happy to be relegated, but being a bounce club is no bad thing - and it can be an awesome launch pad, if handled properly.
And if that happens to us, I'd want Hughton here managing it.

Seaweed! Seaweed!
13 straight defeats (1 better than 2002/03) ending with a 6-0 obliteration at Selhurst should do it.

Well just to satisfy your impeccable timing with your negative thread - how about this : None. He'll be poached by Crystal Palace on the last day of the season with a huge pay increase, a 10 year contract and unlimited funds for player recruitment. There!

I can't decide which 12 to vote for.
I thought the same. We will be told that Norwich knew best, CP got rid of Pardew, Hull Phelan, and did the right thing. That the PL is a totally different kettle of fish and CH isn't up to it.

You get the feeling he has taken us as far as he can,after promotion it seems to be going down hill,the Norwich game was pretty poor,if we are going to push for European spot then we need a big manager that has a proven record at that level,if you are not going forward then you are going backwards. We need to act like a top club if we are to flourish in the the premiere

This.
The last two seasons have been just fantastic. No way next season will be anything like as exciting. If we don't manage to stay up, there isn't anyone better then CH to get us back up the following season. I have a hunch, though, that a bit of decent recruitment and CH's previous experience will mean we'll do OK.
This. Pathetic. We're going to lose a lot of games in the PL, even if we finish mid-table but that won't stop the moaning. People need to bear in mind that every 2 wins buys 3 or 4 defeats with the points total we'll be aiming for initially. It's just a case of staying positive (which a lot of our fans can't manage when we're top of the Championship, so God help us).
