I know it doesn't mean much to us now, but just scrolling through the tables in terms of results we are in the best 'form' of any team up to 14th place. What did shock me was the awful form of Spurs at the moment, as they are real relegation candidates just 1 point above the drop zone.
This season's relegated teams may yet include one of the so-called big 6. I have to wonder if relegation is as much about the quality of the owners as the players these days.

I think it is absolutely long.
Look at the teams at the bottom, and with the exception of Forest, all the clubs down there have owners that are more invested in financial bottom lines than the football on the pitch.

Spurs fans seem to be complaining their owners are more interested in non-football-related matters. It sounds familiar, and makes you wonder what impact that genuinely has on results over a full season.

Well-run clubs like Brighton, Brentford, Forest, and Bournemouth all acquitted themselves well since promotion. Sunderland seem to be in the same mould. Yes, interested owners are the reason they are doing well. When we came up, we seemed to be aiming higher, rather like Newcastle. But Newcastle have hit a glass ceiling.
Do their Saudi owners understand football history in this country? No. I expect they thought they could chuck lots of money in and do a Man City. Fosun can't even chuck money in, and certainly doesn't understand our history. Nathan Shi needs to see the light and start planning for next season, or sell out at a tax loss.
