No one knows what the reality is going to be if we get relegated but Newcastle got relegated and then got promoted with 100 points easy peasy and dominated that league
We will lose lots of players but we will probably still keep the likes of Tom Davies, Patterson, Mykolenko, Godfrey, Holgate, Gray, Gordon, Townsend, Begovic, Simms then promote a bunch of talent from the under 23’s. We will also spend money on some experienced players from the sales of richarlison, dcl, Allan and Pickford to strengthen the squad and we will also be able to loan some decent youth prospects from the prem.
All in all we will probably still have the best squad on paper in the championship when the season starts.
The issue we have always had is that having the best squad on paper means absolutely nothing if the players don’t play as a team. There is no guarantee that the squad we assemble in the championship will play well as a team in the championship but we would still be favourites based on the squad of players we will have.
