And then we'd have to trust Pitarch and Smith not to completely arse the recruitment process up again. It would be a shitfest.Who do you think we'd have to sell that we'd make a loss on?The players we'd "have to sell" we'd make a profit on (Jack, McGinn etc). Other players like Wesley, Nakamba, Trezeguet, we wouldn't have to sell them, and if we did, we'd be making a loss I reckon.

You once thought I was mental saying that we'd be close to administration if our owner couldn't support us any more, and yet under Xia we came very close to doing just that. That wouldn't be the case under the new owners, but we would have to lose Jack, and almost certainly Mings, Heaton and McGinn as well, and then rebuild from scratch.

If we had this squad going into a championship season, we'd be right up there i reckon, as long as the recruitment was at least fairly successful...Heaton, Steer, SarkicGuilbert, Elhammody, Hause, Konsa, Engels, (New Player), Targett, TaylorNakamba, Hourahane, (3 new players)Jota, Trezeguet, El Ghazi, (New player), Wesley, Davis, Samatta, Baston.The new players being a centre back, ball winning midfielder, box to box midfielder, creative midfielder and another winger.Use the money from selling Grealish, McGinn and Mings who i think would want to go. I also think Luiz wouldn't hang around so he'd probably be sold, Reina wouldn't stay on and we would offload Drinkwater and sell Lansbury and Hogan as well.But let's hope it doesn't come to that.
Jota would still be with us. He may not be Premier League but he'd do just fine in the Championship.O'Hare would be back and ours. Young Barry would no doubt get games too. I don't want us to go down but to suggest it's the end of the world is typical doom mongering. We survived last time with vastly shitter owners. This time we'd be fine. The trick would be recruitment for the next season in the top flight with a largely settled squad.

Your also missing the bigger picture we would have lost a potential brilliant spine of the team with the sales of mings mcginn and grealish. The team that took us down was shit this one has potential. We would have to do the reset buttkn YET AGAIN! It would be a potential disaster

If we'd be in a better position than when we went down before, surely it means we'd be in a better position? I'm not missing anything thanks. I'm well aware of who we may lose. But I'm also sure that the remaining players would all do perfectly well in the Championship. And they'd have played together, too.
