Spacehooch Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I feel safe posting this as I can't be negged :) Would relegation be so so bad for us right now? We are screwed with FFP for a few years. We will not be able to compete with other clubs in our division for wages. We will need to use either our youth players, invest in promising cheap youth players from other clubs or try to find bargains from other leagues around the world. We require a complete rebuild of the squad. In League 1 we will be able to play a majority of youth and they will have a better chance of winning and developing. If we play a youth team in the Championship we have the danger of losing a lot and damaging players confidence forever. You learn how to win and how to lose. As a bonus I'm hoping that some of our expensive useless older players will either have a relegation release or a relegation pay drop clause. Could we be that lucky? Match day income would be almost the same, we would be better off. Anyone ITK about high paid failures contracts? So crystal ball time..... if we are relegated we play youth in the next season, they gel, they win and we are promoted back to the championship with a young but experienced side that is used to winning. We then get back into the Premier League at the first attempt and are clear of FFP;) It could happen !!! There's only a few holes in my argument . 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUMBELOWS91 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) To be fair, it's a great idea. I mean, what could help a club with a huge wage bill more than a massive loss of TV income and a depletion of all other income streams?

It's going so badly below us that this might well be a 43pt survival season. Which will prove to be a phenomenally fortunate freak of statistics for us, IMO. Who said all the crazy bad luck wasn't going to even out? Edited February 27, 2018 by Mr. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
