Quote from: class-of-82 on November 29, 2015, 12:35:52 PMThe line " to good for the championship" must mean there's a division between the premier and championship because these players are not good enough for the prem but to good for the championship.But as usual we will see them go to another prem club and flourishIf we really have all these players who are too good for the championship, why is that's where we're headed? If they were that good, we wouldn't find ourselves in the shit.

Sorry, messed up there. I was thinking this as once relegation was confirmed (which of course won't be January).
I think we need to start preparing the Squad now to get out of the Championship.That means a clear out of all the players that will not want to play there.Add that to the crap we are carrying and there will not be many of the current squad left.

Or we could do the wishfull thinking bit and be the next Leeds or Sheffield Wednesday.

I comfort myself by thinking Gestede was Andy's replacement and were still on the lookout to replace Benteke, small comfort I know.
I'd take Gabby to the glue factory on the 1st of January.
