There is life beyond the Premier League

[MJG]

Just a quick message to those crying about going down.
There is another division below this one. It starts on August 9th.
If your not up for it your welcome to go elsewhere

[YankeeJim]

Your kindness & warmth are commendable. Please tell me where I can watch the Championship.

Wow. That must be a relief for everyone concerned about going down. Thanks for that.

Hopefully that gets rid of everyone who's stupidly not embracing relegation with open arms!!

/sarcasm.

The Cottage :'(

No ones embracing it and we still have a chance. Just pissed off with the constant comments about its the end if we go down. Its not, yes for our overseas friends it will be difficult to follow but to those based here its just another division. If being in the Prem is the be all and end all then they need to realise it's not.

Fair enough. I'm not sure anyone thinks it is, though. At least I haven't come across anyone claiming only the PL matters. That won't stop it being awful if we do go down though.

Well it took us almost 40 years last time to get into the top flight so yes for me it is disaster

I have been there thanks and would prefer to stay put - what is the point of your post?

[MJG]

Answered that already

I do understand the bitterness and I'm sure the Cottage won't be sold out every match next season but in the ende, we need 37 points and we can, can still get there. Will is another matter.  082.gif

We may buy players- assuming Khan doesn't walk away from his investment with a US$50m haircut - which quite honestly would be a sensible thing to do given the(non)management team around him.

We will lose £30m in revenue and need to invest in new players as well - that's another £50m cash call  - can't see that happening after the Mitroglou waste of £12m

Never mind - those who have stupidly bleated on here about how refreshing it will be in the Championship gonna get a rude awakening - it's a bloody shambles coming home to roost on the directors after this "dead cat bounce" revival

Just fed up for the genuine supporters (like me) and my devastated kids --- and yes I have had a season ticket since 1965

At least we will get rid of the so called fans in their dozens  who at 2-2 with 5 minutes to in a relegation battle get up and go!! well keep walking because you are not wanted

Why do we need to invest in new players, get rid of most of the overpaid has beens and bring up the youngsters, we have plenty who can hack it in the Championship

[Jimpav]

Bigger and better clubs have tumbled down the divisions and some have sprung back up again. We will be back and hopefully lessons will be learnt.

The club is financially stable, we have a much bigger fan base than when we came up to the PL, a promising youth side and a great manager. We are much better equipped to deal with relegation than had we of gone down under Sanchez or Coleman.

This might not be the end but rather a new beginning.

You only stayed because your 'ride' didn't leave.  Don't criticize others who want to avoid the Putney Bridge rush!

[Berserker]

Well seeing my spare season ticket seat will be about £17 a match I think more people will come with me next season.

Damn right. We don't need support like that.

[Baszab]

ER......well we do actually------------ otherwise the crowds drop to the hardcore 12,000 fan base - we get no "tourist" supporters in the Championship - so we lose 12,000 x 23 x £30 (average seat price) = £8.28m down the toilet before we start (excluding away fans)

[Wingnut]

I am as disappointed as anyone about our pending relegation but whilst I recognise that the Championship is a tough division, I see absolutely no reason why we can't and won't gain promotion back to the Premier League next season or the season after. Clear the deadwood out of our squad, bring in some top class Championship level players and we will be a serious force in the division.
