sage

If so, shall we move onto the next game?
We are all disappointed in the last couple of games, but having read about sacking Rooney, players not caring, players giving up, our recruitment is awful, we are definitely down  even down without a points reduction in the last 24 hours, it's time to regroup and be realistic.
Rooney wasn't the best manager in the Championship 4 games ago and he isn't the worst now. What we do have is a thin squad mainly made up of veterans and youngsters. We started yesterday's game with half of our outfield players aged 34 to 39. With the new manager bounce they played a high tempo and we got overrun. We look tired and are ready for the international break. 
Are we going down? We are certainly up against it. There are so many variables, admin points appeals, ffp appeals and takeovers and that's before we get to what happens on the pitch. I think the players are giving their all and until the Blackburn game, so were the fans. These are trying times and we need to stick together and stay optimistic. We need to still be in the fight when the New Year comes. By then we should know more about points deductions, new owners and transfer capabilities. 
If we get deducted 21 points, there is little hope, but we can't give up yet. Every point is vital and every fans support is too. I hope that our fans recent negativity doesn't transmit to the games. so let's all dust ourselves down and keep supporting our great club as best we can. 
I don't know if we can manage this great escape but if we do, it will take the collective will of all of us.

i'd give him a chance with a level playing field. 

I'm not a happy clapper. i certainly wouldn't put my house on us staying up. However, 'hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies'.  

My second was 6th May so may get Pinxtoned up tomorrow

I was spitting mine out last night too. Just a call for positivity

Do you think we would be in administration now if Covid hadn't happened?

Yes, there is no straightforward answer. I think he deserves a chance with a level playing field but i am sure there are better managers out there. It may depend on who is available at the time. I wouldn't sack him then start looking. It may sound harsh but i would be scouting for possible alternatives and may launch a 'pre emptive strike' if someone outstanding came up.
