Our best chances of survival

[KivoOwl]

Portsmouth - If they go bust, the Premier League will be reduced to 19 teams and the PL will need to get another club up there. There are two possible ways they'd go about this, the first being preferred by us -

1) Promote four clubs from the Championship this season to compensate, which means in turn the FL would only relegate two sides, leaving us with a chance of surviving at 3rd from bottom.

2) Have a 19 team competition next season, and offer the Champ a fourth promotion spot from next year, by which time we'd already be in League One.

Cardiff - If Cardiff go bust, the Championship drops to 23 teams, and to compensate, the Football League could make sure only two teams are relegated this year (preferable), or they could do it next year - again too late for us.

Palace - I believe if they exit administration without agreeing a CVA, they could be deducted further points by the Football League - Leeds were docked 15 points for exiting administration without doing this.

or we could win six of our remaining games

I see your point but this is getting desperate,

We should be winning games to stay up on merit, not by default,

Well worked out though Kivo.

All we need is the players to show the same application and heart they did in Irvine's honeymoon period and we'll stay up no problem. No "fans this, lee strafford that". It's the players. They need to step up to the plate, take responsibility and show they care about our club.
