Relegation?

[SoccerHQ]

You can get 2 - 4 decent players with Ł20m, but the problem is whether players in that price range are going to come with our wage structure. I think that has been the issue rather than transfer fees ever since we became Austerity Villa.   

I think we can.  Moreso we already have over the past few years.  Off the top of my head we've signed Nzogbia, Benteke, Okore and Kozac (Given?) during the austerity years, so such players will come.  Hopefully now they'll arrive over say two transfer windows rather than hmmm I dunno about 6.

With respect Okore came from the Danish league so even though he was very highly rated obviously he would've been on very little.

We signed Benteke as an unknown from Belgium, again a league with little money and I don't think Kozak was earning a huge amount at Lazio either.

If we start looking at premier league players again like getting bertrand here full time, you're probably looking at between 30-40k so yeah it would be nice to push the boat out once in a while.

As Dave says no one is asking to suddenly assemble a squad of Habib beye's, just a quality proven premier league quality player in two positions would mean no threat of relegation next year.

There is no need to discuss the Villa on this thread. Can we please stick to the title and discuss  relgation. So Manu and possibly Arsenal will be relegated from the champions league and Fulham, Cardiff and Palace will be relegated from the premier league.

talking of Fulham Collymore predicted on Talkshite the other night they will turn us over. He also thought we would finish with 39 points and implied he'd then like to see managerial change.

Still not convinced we're safe yet, defence has gone to pot. Attack is off-form. I think Sunderland could well beat West Ham on Monday night which would make things tighter. I'll be surprised if we top 41 points which was last years tally.

We will be relegated if we only pick up 2 points from our remaining 7 games. Anything more and we are safe.

Plus everything else going against us from the key teams below.

[olaftab]

I was very surprised by Palace beating Chelsea. This may well have saved them. So the third place is Sunderland or Albion however if Albion beat Norwich next week Hughton could be in trouble. Sunderland must beat WH on Monday to have any chance.

[silhillvilla]

Lose to Fulham and Palace next 2 games and I go into Panic mode .

We are safe I reckon, but I wouldn't bet against this team getting a couple of draws and 5 beatings. 

[silhillvilla]

We will probably lose them all and win at Man CiŁy. It's that sort of season.

[olaftab]

Both above scenarios will not happen. We will not lose 5/6 of the remaining games however it's a disappointing state of affairs at this stage in the season.

You'd like to think so but no, Lambert is here for the duration whatever, including relegation, happens.

Never has our wonderful club's future looked so bleak.
