The feel good factor is still very much in play.

The first stage of the forum upgrades has now been completed but they remain in a degraded state and are still being worked on. Normal posting/reading should now be possible.

Only a couple of weeks ago it was "Should we keep le Bris if we don't win promotion?" now it's what should we do with him if we are relegated from the Premier League .
He might do very well for us in the Premier League but then end up ditching us because he receives a much more lucrative offer ffor his services from a bigger Club.

For once in our recent history let’s hope we get some managerial stability.
Let’s have faith in Regis.
We will stay up so it’s academic anyway. It’s whether or not he can get us into Europe.

He should, but...
Some on here will turn on him 20 minutes into the first game if it's still 0-0
The Sunderland Disease will be an epidemic again by October with a bad start

relegated? are you from sky or Newcastle?
OOOSH YEAH

No, it’s a mutually beneficial relationship until it isn’t anymore. We gave him the chance to look after a great club and he’s done a great job. One day it’ll come to a natural end. The club comes first not its employees. He will always have what he did with us on his track record, he can always be proud of it and we have him to thank for it.

love how i'm branded a mag for even saying that relegation is a possibility. i've always been an optimistic fan, just wondering what people think about keeping a manager despite relegation.
Fortunately the brain-dead won't be making the decision as to stick or twist.

Yes for me, but let’s face it, he’ll be sacked if the players aren’t up to it.

If people are throwing season cards at him he'll have to go.
If we're still in touch at Easter but getting beat by the odd goal and VAR he might be able to stay.

Clueless? You just cannot keep it in your happy-clappy pants can you?
I thought Admins were supposed to be impartial?

I understand the question but its a bit of a daft question at this stage - obviously it depends on the next 10 months performances.
If we lose 38 games and don't score any goals, probably not.
If we get relegated on the last day on goal difference with the highest points total for any relegated team, then probably yes.

Hope I'm wrong but I think RLB will be massively out of his depth in the PL. He got promoted with a team of young kids who bought into his philosophy but if we start making big name signings to compete in the PL apart from massive fees they come with massive egos and he just does not seem authoritarian enough to handle that.
Eh?
I'm a normal fan the same as you.A fair few people were losing their shite because we were resting players and losing meaningless games. Most weren't.
I was slightly concerned we might not be able to turn our form back on. In truth we didn't. But we were still incredibly hard to beat as we had been all season bar the last half a dozen games or so go games. We lost no games out of 3 in the play offs.
You and others were wrong plain and simple and now you're trying to blame the likes of me?
