I think that is a strong possibility unless a strong contender arrives on the scene.

Anyone who wants him gone just needs to look at the table. We are 4 points off Chelsea and a nice gap is building up to the relegation spots.

If there was ever a bad year to get relegated then this is it. Most clubs are haemorrhaging money because of Covid. Staying in the division is the only priority this year.

Roy will be here next year so long as his health remains good

Yes, that would make sense.

I'm confused by people saying we got lucky against Sheffield Utd? We won because we worked hard and took our chances. Sheffield Utd created one proper chance which they hit straight at Ward. How is that lucky? There are games where I would have agreed with the sentiment, like possibly Spurs, or maybe even Leicester, but not Saturday. We didn't play the most eye-catching football but from the fourth minute to the last minute the result never seemed in doubt and the team worked incredibly hard for it.

Having said all that, I do think our squad is one of the weakest out of all the established PL sides once you take out Wilf and Eze and that has shown when we have played these teams. Aside from the surprising early-doors wins against Southampton and Man Utd (both of which looked half asleep to be fair) all of our wins have come against teams promoted last year or this year. This has always been Roy's strength, ensuring we get results against teams in the bottom half and it should be enough to see us safe if that pattern continues. However, I still maintain that whomever is in charge next season we will not climb above 12th without investment in the squad. The only other established PL club which continues to spend at a similar level is Burnley and they have just been taken over by someone promising to invest. Roy's investment to points ratio is probably only matched by Burnley, so that should be a worrying sign.

Why would anyone want Roy out when he's won every single match this year?
