I know Sami doesn't look like he is interested but are you suggesting you know that he doesn't want to be here?

A question really .... If we were to be relegated would this have a knock-on effect with the sponsors IE Amex ... would the money we receive diminish or is it ring fenced to saveguard against relegation ?

Albion Dan;6632342 The management decisions around the playing squad since Oscar left are borderline negligent and relegation could be an absolute disaster for the long term future finances and fan base of the club. Of course If we could win some matches we wouldn't be complaining and if my Aunt had balls she'd be my Uncle. Unfortunately neither is true.[/QUOTE said:

I don't think we played badly at Huddersfield. We weren't great but the game was there to win in the final 15-20 minutes and we were a tad unlucky not to manage that.

Sorry, I should have stated the matches that I watched. Away to Huddersfield was not one of them, and you're right I believe that we finished stronger in that game. Which makes it even more frustrating when we turn in lacklustre performances at home.

Yep every time I walk past the away end at Bout 1.15pm many away fans are sitting outside with the doors locked. Why?
Let the feckers in and start spending some money!
Unless they've locked themselves out because of the prices.....

No. Mediocre start to the season, could go either way.

Bozza, a genuine complaint? It's more of a concern really. That concern is growing by the week and can be summarised by the poll on how many NSC users think Hyypia is the right man for the job. When I looked it was one in ten. That's hardly a ringing endorsement and the percentage has dipped significantly after the Rotherham game. I think most people on here were probably willing to give him the games against Huddersfield and Rotherham to get the team playing better and to get a minimum of four points and a little space away from the relegation zone. He's not achieved that and the way that the team virtually folded after the Rotherham equaliser was a real worry.
So the concern is that unless the Board take action we are in real danger of being relegated, and that would result in some significant financial implications.
The immediate action needs to be to get an experienced manager in place who can turn that situation around. He needs time to assess the team and see what we need in way of a couple of players that will help improve results. He needs to communicate that information to David Burke and Sir Tony needs to dip into the budget again to get them. They can't wait too long to do this as the January transfer deadline isn't too far away.
All the talk of commercialisation etc will reduce if we start winning a few games. What would also be nice to see is a manager who has the ability to inspire as a competency. We heard all about how Paul Barber and the board took so long in their selection process to get the right man to replace Garcia and frankly they then found someone who was less inspiring than Oscar, which was quite hard to do!
What I see now is a team whose confidence slips away rapidly when things go against them and this is because Hyypia doesn't fill them with confidence. He simply slates them in public which is something Garcia never did.
The board have to hold up their hands and admit a mistake. It's not easy to do when the mistake is so obvious in hindsight but this time there can be no finger pointing like when Oscar's departure took place.
So I think that's probably a genuine concern, or complaint if you want, and I would be very happy to go to the Board myself and articulate that to them.

With regard to the OP, does he think the fans of former Premier clubs Brum, Bolton and Blackpool aren't complaining just as much, if not more?
I think too many fans were quick to criticise Oscar, but at least he could organise a team. I've never seen a team go into half-time having just scored come out and start a second half so badly.
