Relegation?

[PeterWithesShin]

Us dropping would be massive news nationally. It would also have every club in the Championship cumming in their pants.

But we won't be relegated so it's all irrelevant.

[pauliewalnuts]

not at all. If it is a story carried in a number of outlets it has generated interest and therefore relevance.

And that's not the case if the Telegraph have published it?

Do you reckon they're publishing stuff about whether Norwich's players have relegation clauses?

[Malandro]

It would be a big story here - same as if Everton or spurs went down.
As for other fans - I think a lot would like it if it happened. Not because they necessarily hate us, its just a novelty

Of course they would.

The time to worry about it is if you go down and nobody bats an eyelid.

Of course they would.

The time to worry about it is if you go down and nobody bats an eyelid.

And of course we've offered nothing for essentially four years. I think a lot of supporters of other clubs would be delighted to see us down.

The way we "play", if I supported another club, I'd be delighted to see us get relegated.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's the nature of fans to enjoy it if a big club drops. I kept hoping Everton would go in the 90s and I had no dislike of them back then.

[Malandro]

Its not like fans wanting stoke relegated either, they played awful football - we are just awful

Paul Lambert, the manager, is also understood to be facing a wage reduction if he fails in his mission to retain Villa’s top-flight status.

Hell yeah a reduction. A 100% reduction. And a P45.

I started typing exactly that as a comment under that Telegraph article but then convinced myself I'm already getting angry enough about it in enough places on the internet.

Even the winners of the Premier League will get less column inches than Ryan Giggs' Man Yoo come the end of the season.

It will only be a story if they're talking about it on 'Loose Women'. That's the show where all the big stories go.

I hear they've already got Janet Street Porter outside the ground with a microphone.

She doesn't need a microphone.

Don't know about that but New Street Porter is waiting outside for Mr Lambert's luggage!
