Nearly two years have passed since the 26th January 2016, the date of the semi at Anfield, our performances and results have slowly deteriorated since, along with the support for Mark Hughes as our Manager. Two years on I believe the majority of the supporters felt it was time for him to go, the game at Coventry was painful to watch and an executive summary of all the reasons our club was in free fall into the Championship.
There are several famous clubs in the Championship and indeed league 1 and 2 who have been unable to get back into the Premier league, in some cases 5/10 or even 15 years effectively in the wilderness, some with good sound financial backing, a large fan base and a famous history. We have all those and we should not believe for one minute that if we go down we will not fall into the same trap.
So most of us by this point have got what we wanted and the new Manager will start hopefully this week, we must let go of the recent problems, turn the page and look at how we can do all we can as supporters to help keep our club in the Premier league at all costs.
There are 8 home games left (24 points) & 8 games away. We will only stay in the Premier league if our home games return our early years in the Premier league, a ‘them and us’ Bear Pit, siege mentality were we do all we can to make life very, very difficult for the opposition and lift our own players to the maximum. Yes there has been excellent support at times especially under the circumstances but overall our own performance as supporters has not been at the consistent level we have produced in the past.
I believe around 37 to 40 points will be enough to keep us up this season, so 5 wins or (15 points) at home and 5/6 points away should be enough, that is perfectly possible but only if we play our full part especially at home.
This is a massive 2nd half of the season for us with each of those home games particularly pivotal to the clubs future, let’s pull together each and every one of us and help keep our great club in the Premier league, if not we can look back as a group and say we did all we could.

You do make a fair point, sitting in some areas of the ground people look at you like an idiot if you dare sing a song or shout encouragement/obscenities. Almost like they think they're at the theatre or summit.

If we relayed the game onto their mobiles and ipads they wouldn't miss a minute! |

No chance lets turn into into the ugliest , most toxic atmosphere possible , the patsy has gone the real culprits are now out on the open , we need to drive home the firestorm and burn every trace of those to blame form the history of our club , the footballing gods need to be encouraged to wreak their vengeance and our wrath on those who have wasted this fantastic opportunity , step forward Mr Scholes and Mr Cartwright , there is no hiding place now you will be punished for your crimes against our most treasured club .
You should be lucky to get a job in the drive in at McDonalds after this fiasco in the words of King Lear " Out Vile Jelly "

And here's the new intro song:
Brace yourself coz this goes deep
I'll show you the secrets to sky and the birds
Actions speak louder than words
Stand by me, my apprentice
Be brave, clench fists
AL,AP,AS.

Whoever we appoint I shall be behind the team...SCFC is more important than any individuals
"Sack the board" might be on my mind, but not my lips during the 90+ minutes
