It's too early to ask that question because this won't be the side or the manager that will start the season. There will be lots of change and a change in focus and mentality.

Bottom half with the current crop. If Sinclair and Gestede perform as they have done there we may do ok. We still need 2 goalkeepers and a whole defence, Okore and Clark may be able to hack it if their attitude improves.

We don't need two goalkeepers Steer has done really well in that division.
We have two keepers in Steer and Bunn.
Okore won't be here. Clark will stay if he want's to (if he has a good Euro 2016 he may get offers elsewhere).

yes but if randy is still the owner, we will be buying from poundland. the only brightness about our future, is us villa fans that actually care.

The truth is that anything can happen depending on events in the next few weeks.

If Lerner does not sell us very soon and the appointment of a new manager is fudged or delayed it is likely our downward momentum and disintegration will continue apace. A poster in one of the match threads used the metaphor of turning a tanker around, and this analogy was used by Graham Taylor a few seasons ago when we were on the verge of dropping.

We have taken 6 points from 18 against teams who were in the Championship last season so based on that not very well.

it depends on two major factors, who the manager is and who the owner is

with a new owner we might have a bit of money to spend

as far as the manager goes, i cant see us appointing before the end of the season so we are at the mercy of the managerial merry go round so could end up with someone who was third or fourth choice originally

worrying times ahead

This relegation has a lot more in common with 1967 than it does with 1987.

This afternoon showed that even the slightest hint of effort and a few attempts on goal and the fans will still get behind the players. Booing of Lescott and Bacuna was fairly reduced today.

I think this relegation looks more like 1967 than 1987 to me, only new ownership with an exciting managerial appointment within the next few weeks can prevent our slide going into next season.

Mid-table next year and automatic promotion the year after.

1987 feels like a weekend in the Hefner mansion compared to the 2016 shithouse.
