And Swansea's best start in 105 years.
Finished 2 points ahead of us last season.

What’s our worst start ever. I mean 102 years takes us back to 1924? Cannot imagine there were much worse starts before that?

Selling him and not having planned for a suitable replacement certainly did.

Whilst we are talking about Ridsdale's financial incompetence and lavish overspending, do take a moment to read this article from the sickening overspends at Leeds back in the day.
It really does tell us a lot about why this season has panned out like it has.
How Leeds splashed out on goldfish and jets
They cost a tiny fraction of the millions spent by Leeds United under Peter Ridsdale, but the chairman's goldfish are likely to become as much a symbol of a failed regime as Imelda Marcos' shoe collection or Marie Antoinette's cakes.

I dont know what saves us at this point, 11 games in and we don't look like getting anything out of games.
Is it crazy to say that we need to be bringing a couple of free agents in?

Never felt like a full refresh because somehow Peter Murphy and Euell kept their jobs despite being part of the problem. Also serious question marks over Mike Pollitt.

We also have the lowest points total of any team in the EFL - and the worst goal difference.

how do we make the worst start ever? how many more defeats do we need?

I don’t know off the top of my head but I'm confident it will happen.
Bolton were having to put youth teams out that season I think as they were in administration at the time. Everyone knows the issues at Sheff Weds and they got a massive points deduction on top.
For a solvent team with all of pre season to plan to end up in this state is diabolical. To me alarm bells were ringing when the Barca friendly was cancelled at last minute due to lack of players. To give up the chance to play some excellent players and get up to speed over 90 minutes was really poor and sums up this club. Just happy to float along doing the bare minimum until there is no other option.
This season the signings permanent or on loan been of a far poorer standard than last 3-4 years and this is the result. Just getting a draw currently feels a minor miracle so no chance of staying up.

We've already made the worst mathematical start ever with today's spineless capitulation against Wrexham.
We already know about 1924-25.
Before that I think the worst start to a season was 1913-1914.
By 22 November we had a record of W1 D3 L10. Goals scored 7. Goals conceded 24.
If they don't get removed when we're shit, and if they don't get removed under a new management team, why would they be removed now?
I'd probably keep Euell to be fair as he got a decent performance at QPR. A performance that Grezzas 3 games have been no where near sadly.
