We are Aston Villa...if we go down, the better Championship and fringe Premier League players will want to play for us and get us back up. On the other hand, if the club are not prepared to pay the wages then we'll have to get used to life down there.

Spot on. Has a bigger club than Villa ever been relegated? I know Utd and 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' have been down there, but were they that big at the time?

The biggest club in the world went down in 1936.

Man Utd - 6 years from European Cup winners to relegation.  Only one year longer than our fall from the top.

I think we'd be losing play off finalists, typical of us.

The guide would be West Ham imo as there squad was similar to ours when they went down in 10/11, mixture of inconsistant and overpaid internationals and plenty of youth. When they went down, they signed adequate championship players in O'Neill and Taylor and Big Sam also signed a million forwards.

It seems if you want to get promoted from the championship, you just sign as many strikers as possible as no one can really defend down there. See Cardiff and Leicester.
