The "If we go down" thread

@Gutter Boy why do you have Tim Lovejoy as your profile pic?

I've never been sure. Some mod changed it as a joke and it's locked on. My choice for decades before was always Ledley.

The club/players. But I actually think the fans making a noise about it could make it usefully more urgent.

We know the owners are now checked out and distant, and Vinai and Lange are just passive yes men, so you've got to hope there's someone around someone who notices and cares

We need a loud seige mentality.

Bit of a contradiction?

There will be suitors for most of our best players, second best players and our most highly rated younger players.

Even outside the best you mentioned, would players like Solanke, Udogie, Danso, Porro, Spence, Gallagher, Sarr, Gray, Vuskovic etc be up for a year in the Championship? Would they prefer that over an interested club in the PL or on the continent? I'm sure there would be clubs interested in them (and others). Maybe not the elite teams, but there will be a massive pressure from the media, agents and the players themselves. And other clubs will be salivating at the chance of a good deal for clearly good players.

I think all those players you mention would stay at least a season. Some of them arent top quality, and players like Gallagher and Solanke would want to prove they are still good players . They wont have teams lining up to buy them on the form theyve shown for us thats for sure.

If Vuskovic leaves in the summer then I’ll be seriously tinkled off. Would raise the question why we let him go out on loan when he could have been useful for us, and the loan only works if he is to come back to be a permanent fixture in the team.

lol based on what??? We are in dire form and most of our players don’t have the fight in them for a relegation battle

It's not based on the 2wins from 18!!
