Relegation 2022/23

[Pat Butcher]

Everybody else in the window strengthened & we have weakened our squad, makes no sense

Players like Orsic & Big Paul now at Southampton would of made instant impacts here

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

That window confirmed it I think

We’re preparing for the second tier

Last season at Goodison next year as well

Gutting

 

[matty1878]

it’s inevitable and shouldn’t be happening

 

[larrygobfiend]

At least the brilliant away fans will get to travel to some different grounds.


I’m clutching at straws for something positive.

The realities of relegation for those who think it wouldn’t be bad

Season starts a week earlier
We’d be the golden scalp for 21 teams, especially the 3 that come up from League One
Midweek games
Points deductions/transfer embargoes (unless the squad is gutted)
30 second highlights on ITV (if we’re not a featured or Sky game)
Sub fees to watch games on iFollow if not on Sky
Possibility of starting the League Cup in Round 1 if we finish bottom of the PL

Reckon we need to start mentally preparing ourselves for this unfortunately.. if we haven't already.

I’m actively making plans not to be here that final game , for two reasons . One I couldn’t bear the idea of witnessing us slip away, for the final time , due to the behaviour of these people and honestly I’m concerned how I’d react . Two if we do make it I’m adamant I’m not being part of a celebration of their failure so they can photograph it and stick it on walls or promotion videos and take it as an endorsement of their ineptitude.

I despise what they’ve done

Was going to do the same until I realised we would be well relegated before the final game

Win Saturday lads and we're midtable.

Win Saturday lads and we're midtable.

Until all the other teams then play of course.

And then we'll be about 15th/16th, which is better than 19th Mikey

Been on the cards since Benitez waddled through the door. Imagine allowing him to sign Rondon. ?. What an absolutely diabolical appointment.

Been on the cards since 1999 and Bill Kenwright's capture of the club.

 

[brieverton]

The indirect message to the players after the non-activity in transfers was that the club have accepted relegation.

A couple of players in to go with a new manager and at least there is some semblance of optimism.

We are just not good enough anyway, but that message is devastating psychologically for the group.

It will be near miraculous if Dyche can keep us up, I don't see it.

It is, get the easy bit done of beating *checks fixtures* Arsenal, and away we go.
