Relegation 23/24 Thread

If we dont go this season, we will 100% go next when we sell a few assests.

Branthwaite and Onana are goners in the summer. One early on I reckon for the books. It’ll be a year of scrambling around again. Joy.

I don’t see it that way. I agree that our premier league status is very much in jeopardy this year. But should we stay up, I think the sale of a few players gives us the opportunity to turn things around, like when Villa sold Grealish.

Villa now talking about having to sell their best players to avoid breaching Prem rules mate.

Jesus that's some statement.. their 2 main forwards have 17 league goals between them, our 2 main forwards have 5 between them.

And Mike Walker finished 3rd in the Premier League once which got him the Everton job.

Luton are a Championship side and barring crippling points deductions elsewhere will be relegated.

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Most of you tossers didn’t want to know Barkley coming back or were bothered about Townsend going, you deserve everything you get you morons

 

[nsno-chris]

Elijah Adebayo and Carlton Morros, men playing league 2 football less than 3 years ago, as scored more goals than Doucoure, McNeil, Harrison, DCL and Beto combined

Saw that today.
Pull your guts out to get a decent finish.
Now sell players
Great closed league they're trying to create.

And?

My point is that Villa have already had to go through that ‘having to sell their best player’ scenario in selling Grealish, and it didn’t hinder them, it helped them.

They were in our position right now before selling Grealish.

 

[Chrismac]

Fingers crossed Ipswich get 2nd and a Hull or Norwich sneak the play offs

Are we in a position to be able to buy players or will the captial be needed to blance the books?

All about protecting the top 6 mate. Doesn’t make sense really though, you would think the prem would want to make the league the most exciting and open league ever.

 

[BlueHutch]

Tell you what about Luton, they are entertaining. Play with a lot of heart, similar to that Blackpool side that got into the Prem. They really offer something to the league.

What are we offering lately? We are like the old drunk in the corner of the pub that swears at everyone and stinks of pis but refuses to leave.

That is the best description of us I have heard for a long time.

Absolutely spot on, well played sir, well played indeed.

What happens when Emery walks because he can’t develop his team without selling his best players? The only buyers for his best players? The teams he’s trying to compete with

 

[knowing your history]

[Poor language removed] hell has any other team put up with such a [Poor language removed] situation as what we are in now , just problem after problem ,this season isn’t even finished yet I’m already dreading the next one , at least Leeds had a few top 4 finishes , might be just a over reaction after the result but these past few years shave easily been the worst I’ve known and include the 90s in that

Bar the cup win the 90s were rubbish when Kendall left the second time. To me that hurt more given the glorious 80s were still a relatively recent memory compared to now and also the league was slightly more of a level playing field and clubs didn't have states funding them. The innocence of Boro crying off sick for that game in 96/97 and getting three points deducted so you knew where you stood in those days compared to now combing over profit and loss balance sheets.

2000s a nearly decade.

Are we in a position to be able to buy players or will the captial be needed to blance the books?

A mixture of both, like when we sold Richarlison and then bought Onana. Sales will allow us to spend, if spent well, it’s an opportunity to improve.
