My response won't change unless we significantly weaken the squad. We have enough in the squad to stay up. The manager is competent. Therefore I expect to stay up. In terms of signing people or not signing people, I don't think it will make that much difference. We are not in a critical situation with transfers if truth be told. Even if others strengthen, the types they will strengthen with won't hit the ground running in the main, and won't be of the quality where they suddenly jump above us in overall quality.
I think Rafa has fooled everybody here. He has said its a miracle if we stay up. It really isn't. Now he may be just doing that in the vain hope of Ashley feeling the need to invest. Its a tactic I don't really like as it has more negative short term effect. However it is the done thing nowadays. The other thing Rafa is thinking about is his own career and ego. He says its a miracle if we stay, some of our daftie fans actually believe that too, and some will be swayed because Royal Rafa says so. So if we stay up (which should be the target and is very achievable), he is the best thing since sliced bread. If we go down it isn't his fault and he hasn't underachieved. Just typical political posturing from Rafa.
In terms of me and my club heading forward. Football in general lost its lustre for me some time ago. For some reason I have this parasitic tick named NUFC I'm unable to shake off. I'll undoubtedly plough on supporting the club and team. As with last time and last season, I don't mind if we go down. The promotion campaign is always more fun to watch.
