This is the season...

[PeterWithesShin]

If we went down there is zero guarantee we'd come back up straight away. But comparing us to Leeds, Forest and Sheff Weds is tosh imo. None of those 3 are a patch on us size wise, 2 of them went down due to debt not just because they were shite. And the other was soon totally fucked financially. 2 of them are considered big because they got lucky with a manager that accounts for nearly everything they've won, before that manager they were regularly outside the top flight, after that manager they were regularly outside the top flight.

One of these days, this could turn into 'the season to be jolly'.

It's what this thread title always makes me think of. It's coming up to Christmas, as well!

Nothing good comes from relegation, nothing.

Looking more likely though.

Years of this shite. Sick of it. I am sure you are sick of me whining about it. My apologies for that. This is one of the few places I can vent where people will understand.

The longer Sherwood remains, the closer we are to relegation

[brontebilly]

Bournemouth could have been beaten by 10 goals yesterday. Watford are really poor too. Norwich have Cameron Jerome up front....

It's amazing how far the likes of Swansea, Palace and West Ham are ahead of us, all clubs that were down in the second division not too long ago.

So if/when we go down would we be considered the BIGGEST club to ever be relegated from the EPL ??

No but they have named thier Ground after a CHAV Clothes emporium

Hope this s not the season because I've just watched Derby v Wolves and I think we would struggle against both those teams.

[Ads]

The Wolves are utter toss at the back. It's a dreadful standard in the second division.

[martin o`who??]

I'm beginning to think that if the unthinkable does happen - and it's looking increasingly likely - it may actually be a good thing in some respects, the clubs value should plummet which would force RL to lower his asking price, which may hopefully trigger a few serious bids for the club. Treading water like this is becoming embarrassing for all concerned, a change of direction and thinking may be what's needed.

[PeterWithesShin]

Thing is, how much are they going to be able to improve us if they can only afford a cheaper asking price? I'd be concerned if we had a new owner/s that had to wait until we were devalued before they had the cash as much more chance of getting lumbered with a Yeung/Venky type.

[mattjpa]

It may have been a good thing a couple of seasons ago. The money on offer next year would make this the worst time in the history of the league to go down. In typical villa fashion this will probably be our year

The flip side of that is that if the club'a value is low enough the likes of the richest hairdresser in Hong Kong get tempted.

It sure as hell isn't great having Randy as owner, but the recent to medium term history of that lot and Wolves, not to mention several other clubs around the country show how wrong it can go when you've got an owner who wants out at any price.
