        Avoiding relegation once does not make you an established Premier League side (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Feb 15, 15:18:17
        
        It goes a further way to that aim than not avoiding relegation. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:22:14

        How many poor season should a manager be allowed before action is taken (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:17:31
        
        Was last year really that poor a season ? (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:20:13
        
        Results wise, probably not that bad. (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Feb 15, 15:51:11
        
        It's a results driven game though. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:59:14
        
        Well, that's a whole other argument. (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Feb 15, 16:08:03
        
        Compared to Wigan and West Ham's...yes (NCFC) - duke of york, Feb 15, 15:28:10
        
        As below, Wigan and WHam have cash, Sunderland don't. (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:30:25
        
        It was that attitude that got us relegated (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Feb 15, 15:26:46
        
        really (NCFC) - mazing_marie89, Feb 15, 15:33:47
        
        the attitude of the club last season was a disgrace... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Feb 15, 15:36:15
        
        spot on, pardew b4 arsenal away "we are here to win" (NCFC) - otbc2006, Feb 15, 15:41:13
        
        last season wasnt a success. This season isnt a success. (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:22:24
        
        er, yeah (NCFC) - mazing_marie89, Feb 15, 15:25:01
        
        last season was successful was it? (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:28:42
        
        In that case, how many seasons of no success have the club had since 1902 ? (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:23:55
        
        How many managers would be allowed to underperform for so long (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:26:38
        
        Walker did, Stringer did, Brown did, Bond did, Saunders did. (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:29:20
        
        No they didnt. tell me which 2 seasons in a row that they underperformed. (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:31:34
        
        Can't be arsed. Tell me, apart from the obvious, when they did. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:33:42
        
        I knew I had you there. candy from a baby and all that (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:36:08

        OK ... (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Feb 15, 15:41:24
        
        1987 - 2001 inclusive, apart from 92-93 though. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:41:08
        
        Got you here again then. You are making it way too easy. (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:46:54
        
        What did we win those years ? Nothing. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 16:01:20
        
        So being an established top flight club would be failure to you then (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 16:04:41
        
        It wasn't success. So, taking it to it's crudest terms, yes. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 16:11:37
        
        success is the achievement of something desired, planned or attempted (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 16:15:44
