[Albion] Relegation?

[Swegulls]

Nagelsmann is just 36, what's the fuss? Hürzy will do fine!

 

[JBizzle]

Are they really key players? I would argue that Steele, Veltman, Milner and Welbeck won't be first choice - and Gross might not even be here!

In terms of relegation, of course it could happen. It's a stronger league this season, but there are worse teams than us - Southampton, Ipswich, Brentford, Forest and probably Leicester (depending on their transfer window) for starters.

I would argue that, yes, they are key players. Maybe not on the pitch in the same way as they used to be, but they are unquestionably the vocal leaders in the dressing room.

On relegation, I agree. I don't think it'll happen either but it's not that wild a prediction is my point

 

[Reddleman]

I don’t think we will be relegated but I am concerned about how unbalanced the squad is.

We have a load of wide attacking players, number tens and strikers yet are so thin in centre midfield.

Also our centre half options looks slow and arguably past their best in the case of Webster and dare I even say Dunk.

Excited to see us linked with Summerville but that really doesn’t feel like a priority position.

 

[Brovion]

I know I'm being unduly pessimistic, and I admit Keys is a HUGE twat, ......... but he might be right. Our luck might have run out. Anyway, we'll find out soon enough.

 

[Jesus Gul]

I think we're going to get relegated every season...no biggie for me

 

[The red pepper kid]

Inconsequential old fool says something faintly controversial in a desperate attempt to seem relevant.

Fails.

ouch

 

[chaileyjem]

Probably..........and one year they'll be right. Not sure it's just yet though - though there are concerns if we take our 2024 form post Roma into next season from the start.

Yes . But also worth stressing that our form - eg: the last 11 games - however terrible was actually still good enough to be 17th at worst. Sheff Utd, Luton and other teams like Wolves at the back end were still doing even worse.

Probably why our odds are currently the same as those of West Ham and Chelsea, and the betting market considers that there are 11 teams more likely to go down, including Man City.

I accept that there's the FFP factor for City and Chelsea.

 

[Giraffe]

He does have a point though. It certainly has a feel about it that suggests it will go very well or very badly. I'd incline towards the former though.

 

[The Wookiee]

How this bell end even still has a job in football is beyond me.

Horrible man

Like numerous others I think Fabian goes either one of two ways, with no middle ground, he either rips it up and we got on to win a trophy within 2 seasons or it unravells fairly quickly but like Hypia it will be a good few months before Bloom puts his hands up and admits his mistake and by then we will be deep in a relegation fight. (mid table mediocrity's not a thing)

Never been dull supporting the Albion, but I'm taking option A, a legitmate trophy in the cabinet by May 2026.

 

[Jeremiah]

Well Keys has got one thing wrong - "he says one Premier League team are heading towards relegation" - I predict 3 are heading towards relegation.

Hope not, because we will be panicking. It is likely we will be in bottom 6 and very possibly bottom 3 by early November as face all the top 6 in first 11 games.

Alan Partridge on Richard Keys.

Alan Partridge on Richard Keys.

The Partridge-Keys & Gray dynamic is incredible entertainment, I feel the audio book was needed to give it justice:

 

[The Optimist]

Hope not, because we will be panicking. It is likely we will be in bottom 6 and very possibly bottom 3 by early November as face all the top 6 in first 11 games.

But there will be no panicking because we’ll have the tracker.
