Andy84 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Most of the championship is really poor in terms of quality but to "piss it" over 46 games you would need quite a lot of quality in your squad, a big squad as well. No guarantees they would have either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hope they gan down this season. I'd be very intrigued to see how they would handle the championship. Loads of RTG seem to think they'd p*ss it, but I don't think they would. Their current team possibly would. Not sure which of them would still be there ? Fair point.

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I've bet wor Neesy £20 that they will stay up. I'm winning no matter what happens. But I really think they will pull it out of the bag again. Boro replacing the generic win they get against us which sets them on a winning streak. No chance, they aren't staying up. No indication in the way they are playing they will stay up. It's getting to that time man, they'll go on a six game win streak soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Defoe would be off in heartbeat if they get relegated, and without him they've got nowt. Won't get any decent money for him either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he has a clause that allows him to leave for free if they go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Defoe would be off in heartbeat if they get relegated, and without him they've got nowt. Won't get any decent money for him either. Is the correct answer. Defoe has been immense for them - without him and his goals, they would have been relegated in 2015 and 2016 (and possibly both ) The fact that they have been able to keep him (and keep him happy enough to play and score goals) is a credit to them.

Loads of RTG seem to think they'd piss it, but I don't think they would. I think Villa will win it next season. Settled team with a Summer under their belts and a half decent manager at this leve under Steve Bruce. Leeds, Reading, Huddersfield, us, Brighton, Norwich, Sheff Wed...the ones that don't go up out of those will be up there too. Actually rate Fulham too tbh.

Stifler Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Not sure why people think they would run away with the Championship next season, even if they kept their current squad. Should they go down then the two other relegated clubs will have better squads. Assuming we went up, and so do Brighton then pretty much everyone in the play offs right now aside from Reading are all better than them. Villa will have cleared more of the dead wood and have a manager used to promotion challenges, Norwich, Derby, and Fulham (assuming they don't make it via the play offs) will all have decent squads. Sunderland's squad would be capable of a play off place at best, and that is before you take into account the players who will jump ship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Pickford, Defoe, Kone, Januzaj, Khazri, Borini, Kirchoff*, Mannone*.. all would leave if they get relegated *possibly? What's left is definitely not a squad that will 'piss' the Championship ffs They'd be midtable/fighting for the lower playoff places with a bit of luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Add in their old 30+ players their squad has (Larsson, Pienaar, O'Shea, Defoe and Lescott if they stay) who will be another year slower and shitter, and I can't see who is going to win them the title. They haven't got many players with great resale value, they'll be in a lot of trouble if they go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag_in_NZ Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If (?) they go down, lose their "stars" (cough!) and have some 200 million quid in debt I can see them struggling (who would go there) and even flirting with another drop......oh please let it happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevo Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'd happily see them "do a Portsmouth/Charlton" and never return to the top two divisions for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Nah I'd just like them to suffer a bit then come back up when we are hopefully sorted out into a top 8 Everton level kind of team, so we can (hopefully) batter them a few times. Would miss the derbies if they are gone too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way they have went on calling it a pub league, etc and saying we're shit even though we're top I'll gladly see them down between those two divisions for 10-15 years. Plus karma for stinking out the division and playing Johnson even though they knew what he had done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alijmitchell Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 The idea that they would piss it is mad. So much depends on who will stay (not many I would guess) the manager and the atmosphere at the club. We got a lift when Rafa stayed, so when we started badly most people kept faith. Now imagine a similar scenario with Moyes... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 With their debt they could also go into administration. If that happens you'll see some wailing and whinging from their fans Totally depends on their owner. Not sure but wouldn't be surpised if their "debt" wasn't too dissimilar to ours (given we owe Ashley £129 million and have an overdraft set of of, I think 33million, assuming the overdraft means that our "profit" from last season has been used up in this seasons difference in income from Premiership to Championship.....where's Happy face or Quayside when they are needed ?) The major difference being in this situation we are better off with Ashley, purely in that he's stubborn enough to bankroll a return to the premiership to get some money back, his problems are when we are back there. I can't see Short being like that, don't be surpised IF they go down himdoing a Villa style "cut his losses" type sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
