The Cost of Relegation
« on: March 30, 2011, 03:23:54 PM »
Seems like Newcastle were hit hard and are still feeling it.  Full story here.

And this is a club with the bestest fans in the whole world and who get 150,000 every home game.

Some clubs aren't geared for relegation and I very much doubt we are either !

I personally think that relegation will ruin this club and could go the way of Sheffield Wednesday.

As has been said many times, 88% of our turnover goes on wages.
Pompey's was 90% when they went down.

I don't see how Randy would be able to continue bankrolling the club in the Championship.
The only hope would be an immediate return the season after but that's anything but guaranteed.

Worrying times for us all.

Why not?  ~£100m owed and loads of overpaid player on high and long contracts.  Will have to sell most of our best players and will probably have to sell at a reduced fee.  Anyone who thinks we wont have serious problems is mad IMO.

No doubt that relegation would be an absolute disaster. Given that we're probably losing Friedel, Young (L), Dunne, Warnock, Beye, Pires, Petrov, NRC, Ash, Carew and Ireland anyway, and if relegated probably Downing and Bent as well, although the wage bill would be cut significantly, attracting replacements for them in the Championship would be difficult to say the least.  Getting back up just with the youngsters we've got and whatever we could attract would be nigh on impossible.  Additionally there would be the knock on effect of loss of gate, TV and other income.  It really doesn't bear thinking about

As a slight aside, does anyone know what value the parachute payments are, and how they compare to, say, finishing 17th in the PL?

My first thoughts would be with the staff at Villa Park who would lose their jobs.

I agree with this point, and the fact that relegation would be potentially ruinous.

Hard to be positive when the management and players look so unmotivated.  They are probably more concerned about which clubs will pay them the most once we're completely fucked.

i can not believe how much negativity there is amongst the supporters, seems like they want us to be relegated
we all know we have had a disaterous season, but come on.
i was talking too some albion and wolves fans last weekend who believe they will finnish above us and that pissed me off cos if they do then we will go down..surely none of us want that (do we)
so lets stop this negativity and get behind the team instead of against them

keep the faith
be the 12th man

I know.
I can't think what's caused it.
