I am sure that now the dust has settled after yet another demoralizing defeat, that we must all feel so desperately sad that the mood of the club has turned from incredible optimism in the summer, to such despair, that we are already discussing the possible beheading of our new coach Juande Ramos. But, it's deja vu, as i remember I felt exactly the same way at the same time last year, I remember we had 10 points from 10 games, which was enough to behead a coach who had taken us to 2 top 5 finishes, yet sadly won nothing, he is now toast.
I find myself sitting in my restaurant scratching my head as to where we shoud go from here. We all feel we should give Ramos more time, BUT, not at the expense of possible relegation, that would kill the club for sure. If we were playing well, if we were fighting for every ball, and the players were living and dying for the shirt and their manager, if were losing unluckily, sure it would be a given Ramos should get more time, but that is NOT the case. Hearing Pompei fans taunting us with "going down, going down", which is even worse than last years "Champions league, you're having a laugh" makes me fill with anger.
Strangely, after the 'Boro and Sunderland games, my expectations for the new season dropped dramatically, today I supported the team as always, but my gut instinct was that we would get beaten again, the team just looked like they didn't want to win, so I have become less and less animated each game that passes, a very sad state of affairs (but better for my health).
We struggled to beat a Polish team most of us have never heard of, and won at Newcastle, a team in the same mess as our team is, if not worse. Apart from that the season has been a disaster so far. Berbatov and Keane are being cited as the reason we are doing so badly, but our league form was equally as bad end of last season, WITH both the aforementioned players.
So, what is the answer to our predicament... for once I am speachless... I truly believed Ramos was the right appointment at the right time, if, and I mean if ramos is given the push, there are no good managers on the market now... and poyet does not have the experience. So for now will lick my wounds yet again, and hope for a miracle, but each week I watch this gutless, clueless, leaderless and once again defeated team, my optimism seems to wane. My only answer, perhaps we are cursed.....
