It seems that a lot of those who are inclined to renew in the Championship are planning to do so because we'll be competetive. If the current cost cutting exercise continues I can only see us doing a similar thing in the Championship, any useful players will be sold and we'll probably look at signing young League 2 players. I don't see any good coming from being relegated under this ownership.

As far as I'm aware, we're still in the PL and have every chance of staying up.

Why not ask "will you be renewing when we finish 15th?"?

how about because its not going to happen? why not ask "will you be renewing when we sign Messi"  Worse GD, bottom of the form guide, 2nd bottom, lost at home to three rivals in a row, squad devoid of confidence, every team around us picking up points, every team around us strengthening in Jan transfer window, another set back in Richard Dunnes injury, about to go away to everton (1 loss in 12). Please, please CBBB, convince me otherwise.

I don't mean to convince you. I'm merely pointing out that his statement was written as a given that we'll be in the Championship, and its not.

I think it'd quite nice to play different teams and visit other stadiums (though obviously I'd rather not have to see them!).

Yes. Going to football on a Saturday is simply "what I do"

Agree.  Plus we'll have high ticket prices for watching more shit.  No thanks.

Wolves are the prime example of selling your best players after relegation and not re-investing. They're now in danger of relegation to League One. Lerner needs to go before even more damage occurs, although for this season it's already too late.

Not sure, but will make a fist of it by attending some Away games to grounds that I haven't been to before

YES! Watched them in the Third, Second, then First, then Second again, now Premisership - I'll watch them anywhere.

Once you get past the idea that the owners of your football club give a shit about you as a fan it all becomes alright ;-)

Will Randy come more due to difficulties seeing the games shown in America?

Will we be the first team from the second tier to win the FA cup since 1980?

Agree.  Let's face it, what else would you do with your time that would intrigue you as much? 

I bet everybody that doesn't for whatever reason, cost, work, distance, but still monitor our clubs fortunes via match threads or TV (Less chance of the latter if we go down) would still much rather be present at every game than doing what they're doing.
