steelcityowlsfan Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 No offence to the OP but it would be a disaster to go down to L1. Revenue drops, hard to attract players and every opponent raises their game against the big teams. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 We can start again in this league. No need to go down to do it. If anything it will be worse. Will still have players on 20k a week but with much less revenue to be able to afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I will never under any circumstances ever understand the mentality around relegation been a good thing. If relegation meant that all your current players lose their contract and have to be offered a new one then maybe but it doesn't work like that.

bigash_swfc Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Annoys me when people say "Let's get relegated and get rid of everyone" The first players to go....will be the ones we need. We will be stuck with the high earners. Like Sunderland with Cattermole and Rodwell etc...nobody will take Forestieri, Bannan, Westwood, Lee, Rhodes...only way they leave is when their contract is due. Will Fletcher resign for League One wages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ferkorf Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Being relegated to league one wont rid us of the efl cloud. We are still massively overspending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Like relegation is ever a positive, lower revenue and poor players. At least Nuhiu won’t look out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sponsor ship Chansiri sponsors everything ! (not having a pop by the way) Would be a disaster if we went down be 2 3 seasons to get out L1 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if we're deducted 10+ points) would finally give us the clean slate we've needed for 2 plus years and more importantly the chairman. He need's to learn how to run a club and complete rebuild would be the lesson he needs. out of contract players gone. all the high earners like Bannan would have to leave as they wouldn't take the step down. A new recruitment structure of dipping in to the lower league market. How many teams have we seen in the last 10 years come from league 1 and then go on to the prem or be on the brink. Blades, Bournemouth and then theres Brentford and Bristol who are on their way. i'd much rather take the points deduction now and go down rather then next season and sit in the bottom 6. Are you mad?

Guest LittleG Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 People really need to think before they start a topic. So to answer your question, yes it wouldnt only be bad it would be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LittleG Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Just realised it's half term, we might get more of these ridiculous topics this week. Probably best to stay off the site till next Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yes it would be a disaster and a massive embarrassment for the club. 3rd not so long ago to being relegated would be a fizz up of epic proportions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But getting relegated with high earners doesn't always mean they leave. It kind of lead to this shower of shybo we've had for last twenty years. Yes totally agree, I remember last time and it was sort of implied that we would go straight back up - I'm sure there was an advert asking to buy seasons tickets with Shefki Kuqi on it that said something along the lines of I'll put it in there (pointing to the goal) if you fill up there (kop in the background) and it was marketed along the lines of "Premiership return".

Groundhopping Owl Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 We'd be at risk of too many vicious financial cycles. If you go down without much financial baggage and use the drop as a chance to rebuild and reorient towards youth then it can be a blessing (think of Southampton going up twice under Adkins), if not then there's little to stop you turning into the next Portsmouth/Coventry/Bolton.
