Assuming, City drop a division, here's a sobering thought. It took a club the size of Sheff Utd a decade to get out of League 1. If the Allam's hang on for another few seasons, it could be the thick end of a generation before City are anywhere near the summit. After all who in their right mind is going to be tempted to buy the club, when the price is grossly inflated and the assets are virtually zero. Wolves got lucky with the crew that bailed them out. But there is one major fundamental difference, Wolves have history, plus owe their ground.
 
There is no "if" about it, just a when.
I tend to think it can be avoided. How? I don't know, other than a massive pow-wow in the dressing room and an agreement to roll the sleeves up and slug it out. Maybe it could require a win at Cardiff on the final day...That seems to ring a bell from the past.
 
Our kid says that if we get turned over on Saturday then the P45 awaits GM. If I hear any more I will keep you posted.

Your obedient servant

We all know the club is rotten to the core.
We sold out best players add to that
too many injuries and players who clearly are disinterested in the club because they know they are not getting new deals don't want to stay or are on loan.
Not sure I blame the manager as much as I blame the players though he will get sacked next week.

We will join Luton and Reading in League 1 where we will stay or more likely drop down to League 2.

Please tell me they are not coming back for Saturday.

No, we lost two more to injury last night, two of the twelve who'd just come back.

Though your old boy Wilks will be back (having been ineligible last night) and we might have Keane Lewis Potter on the bench, the only striker we've got left that can put the wind up a defence.

What a difference 4 days make, PNE away we did okay albeit we were undone again by two minutes of madness, 10 pages reported on here. Then last night, absolutely crap, 18 pages and counting. Evidence that we are more consumed by our teams inability in not being able to deliver a half decent performance never mind positive result.

Come on lads, grind out something positive on Satdee

Or put another way. We now have a generation of supporters who have never seen Hull City any lower then the Championship. This is the worse spell they have known following City. That is a sobering thought and also makes you wonder what they would be like if we did go down ?

Realistically, it's just evidence that one was a home game and the other was away.

It doesn't just have to be the generation that have only known Championship football. My son is 24, he's had a pass since he was 6 and as far as he's concerned, this is the worst he's seen us, he considers Peter Taylor's League Two and League One promotion teams to have been better.
 
17 point gap to 4 points in less than 2 months. I didn't think it would happen but now see it as near inevitable.
Even official Twitter account is taking the piss. It might not be just McCann who gets sacked shortly. ...... from clubs twitter account .....
The not-so-high-lights...

I would agree with your son, I don’t expect to win every game. But I do expect professional footballers to put some effort in & TRY to win the game

That’s starting to sound like unsporting behaviour, fielding a striker who might score. We’d never do that.
