juanpabloangel18 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I don't like the Premier League, it's broken. I want to go somewhere else. I want to go to Blackpool and Bournemouth away, they look fun. Blackpool away is **** shit, they don't sell beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 For what it's worth I don't think our style of football (or lack thereof) will be anymore successfull in the Championship. Our best players will leave (Vlaar, Delph, Benteke) and we have no passion, drive, strategy or tactic how to create scoring chances. There will always be one or two clubs on the up in the Championship and i don't see anything in this team who gives me confidence that we'll have more pride or hunger than our opponents.

supernova26 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) The fact a lot of the fans don't seem bothered is of the most concern. This is reflected in attendances. Ultimately I think the fans will rally around the team when those MUST win games come along at the end of the season and therefore save us from relegation, however. And I agree we're unlikely to be much better in the Championship the novelty of being the biggest club in the league would soon wear off....you don't see many happy Leeds fans about.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Yeah im pretty sure we would struggle in the Championship. Next Leeds i fear if we go down. Have to stay up somehow and hope for a takeover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 It would be bad to go down. I don't think it would offer much more enjoyment. We are desperate for a take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I don't think you can predict what we would be like in the championship. One would hope we would be challenging for promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I don't think you can predict what we would be like in the championship. One would hope we would be challenging for promotion. You'd hope so but that doesn't just happen. Sure, the quality is a bit lower but it doesn't mean we'll be a powerhouse just by virtue of coming from a higher division. If we sort ourselves out and start playing positive, exciting football in the Championship i'd be really pissed off that we couldn't do that in the Premier League.

Kingman Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Only a fifth of teams - 17 out of 85 - achieved automatic promotion the season after being relegated. Another 21 finished in the play-off positions, although only three of those were actually promoted as a result. That means 20 teams promoted, 63 teams staying in the division, and two - Swindon in 1995 and Wolves in 2013 - suffering a second consecutive relegation. Which means, if your side is relegated to the Championship, there's a very strong chance you're not getting out of it straightaway. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/championship/10826050/How-often-do-relegated-Premier-League-clubs-bounce-straight-back-from-the-Championship.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) We would be the next Sheffield Wednesday if we went down. I doubt we'd come back up for 10 years. Initially I'd worry more about surviving in the championship with whatever was left of the current pathetic bunch. They'd be taken apart in that league. Edited November 23, 2014 by R.I.C.O.

HanoiVillan Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 We may be slightly better placed than some who go down. A lot of our players wouldn't leave - there's going to be no clamour to raid most of the squad, and there won't be many high earners left once Vlaar and Delph have left on frees, Bent has been let go, and Benteke has been sold. Most of the rest of the squad could be kept on, though Gabby and N'Zogbia would probably be put up for sale (and might attract some interest anyway). Guzan might be wanted. Of the rest, I can't see much interest, and some of them might find the Championship is a level they can dominate at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we could move gabby and nzog that easy to be honest, Who else in the division would pay them 55/65k a week? Actually makes me sick to type that!

bretonvilla Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The past few years we`ve always relied on the fact that there were always three teams worse than us .......sadly that salvation seems to be far less likely this year , defeat to Southampton and then a confident Burnley next week and I really can`t see us getting out of it this time .
