Personally I think it is......IMO our fate was sealed at the start of the summer, it will take a miracle to keep us up.
This is a 38 game season and every match counts, we do not have time to bed new players in at level hoping they will instantaneously gel with the rest of the squad. Our 'easiest' run of matches are our first 6 and thereafter it just gets harder and harder....check the fixture list.
Listening to Warnock in recent interveiws he has had the fight kicked out of him by Briatore / Ecclestone and being undermined by Paladini (does anyone really think Warnock handed contracts to Ramage and Shittu).
Our preparation for the new season has been amateur, the fans have been kicked in the teeth and the manager mugged off completely. Simply bringing in a new board will not eradicate the damage done, it will IMO take a relegation now to put it right.
We have no defence its not a case off just bringing in a centre half, we need a new back four practically. This deal has been left far too late to have a necessary impact, personally as an investor I wouldn't do it now, I hope they do but it doesn't seem make good business sense to me.
At the end of the day I've seen village fete's better prepared than the build up for our entry back into the Premiership. Briatore and Eccelstone have left the club with an absolute mountain to climb. I was very sceptical of Tony Fernandes previously but now upon reflection I applaude him if he does take over.
I'm not posting to be negative for the sake of it, I post as a fan filled with dred about the forthcoming season. I just feel we are 2/3 months behind our relegation rivals in preparation and by the time we start seeing progress it will be too late.
