More games to play.

Yes but I'm sure the individual match tickets also went up.

There have been teams like Norwich, Hull and West Ham that have managed to go down and come right back up. Look at Hull now with the magician Steve Bruce in charge. You've to be really shit in so many ways as a relegated club not to have a chance of coming straight back up.
I think we pass the shit in so many ways test.

Didn't those other teams I mentioned qualify? They all got relegated. So what makes us any worse than them?

And what if our owner wanted to change the name of the team to Aston Villa Lions. How would you feel about it? Or what if your owner was David Gold and Sullivan? The only question is would Randy provide the resources to the manager to get us back up?

Not sure what any of the above means, if you want to defend Lerner that is your choice.
While you are at it why dont you list his lifetime achievements which does not include inheriting a fortune.

West Ham were a mess when they went down in 2011 yet they made good decisions like getting Big Sam in and reshaped their squad accordingly.

We'll have to do the same. I wouldn't fancy Garde to win us promotion tbh, foreign managers don't do well down there.

On another angle. When teams get relegated, other teams teams pick off the assets. Based on the 11 who started yesterday if we had a fire sale on the starting 11 how much do you think we would get. 

Never mind how much we paid. The full backs are worthless. Midfield mmmmm. £35m/£50M at a push?

But would they reduce the price or just freeze it?
There is no way on gods green earth that ticket prices will drop.

Thinking back i think Doug actually put the prices up when we went down.

Well there are four more home games.

I see it as the next 9 matches up to end of January that define league season. Picking up points in these matches are crucial especially as we are only playing Newcastle who are amungst us.

We only get to play Newcastle once in those 9 games.

Agreed. We will all know if we truly have hope or not by 3/1/16
