Question: At what point do we start putting plans in place for next season?
OK, we're not cut adrift yet but with each game that passes without a win the "points per game" requirement increases. If things carry on as they are, we may soon get to the point where we have to accept we're down. Of course, you can have the "we're not down until mathematically certain" approach and you can see the attraction in terms of morale etc etc. On the other hand, you have to occasionally be realistic and consider the "go down to come back stronger" view.
There are pros and cons to both arguments.
My point is that, even in the background we should maybe putting contingency plans in place in terms of both the business and playing side because the old adage "fail to plan, plan to fail" may well come to pass and suddenly a situation arises in April/May that we're not prepared for and chaos and panic would probably ensue leading to rash and ill-judged decisions that would be costly (we have form on this).
Personally I'm not sure either way on the matter but interested in the views of others.
