NoelVilla Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 We get 8 more games of football. That is a positive right? Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Worst thing about relegation is that we will probably be stuck with Randolph for the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Still think we'll stay up. When we do though, Lerner has to decide what he wants for the club. His 'young and hungry' experiment (and every other cheapo experiment he's tried) has failed miserably. You have to invest in the Premier League just to stand still, and any other cheap signings on £10k per week and we're finished. Give us a squad worthy of the Premier League or we're done for sooner or later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 If we can't get every player performing to the best of there abilty till the end of the season, we are down. Today didn't fill me with much confidence they can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midian Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Took my 4 year old to his 1st Villa game today was so excited got to 65th minute said Dad can we go home this is rubbish think it's a great summary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It's like we're still one player away from putting out a side that can play well for 90 minutes, and actually win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It's like we're still one player away from putting out a side that can play well for 90 minutes, and actually win. Shame the transfer window is closed then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobs Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I was so looking forward to today and really thought we would win.but when we lost I just felt numb and almost do not care. Just cannot see this team staying up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I do think it's as simple as this: if Benteke finds form, we'll stay up. As it is, he's rubbish, and we're going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It's like we're still one player away from putting out a side that can play well for 90 minutes, and actually win. I'd say were a lot more than one away. A good 5/6 from back to front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobs Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 One of us, qpr and burnley will survive. Leicester are doomed. Looking at the fixtures we have the most favourable set especially still having to play both at home. I'm hanging on to every hope possible here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) We get a parachute payment of £16 million over the first season our wage bill is what? £50 million. Unless Randy wants another heavy financial loss we'll need to sell our top 4 players at least. Probably best way to get back up given they are shyte anyway. Sell them onto to some mug team and get some experienced journey men in. I'd also hope/expect Tim to be relieved of his duties and we get a proper manager in to get us back for the 2016-2017 season when the new TV money comes in.

useless Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Obviously not going to happen, but I know who I think would be the best man to bring us back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It's an absolute disgrace how far we've fallen and to think that we are right in amongst the favourites to go down. Yes it's been coming for a few years but I still cannot seem to believe what has happened to us; it makes me so angry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It's impossible to predict what we'd be like next season in the Championship as there are so few precedents for a club of our size going down. I certainly have no idea what will happen - people point to examples like Leeds and Forest (the former isn't really a good comparison) but then you also have the example of Newcastle. We could do really well and in turn come back stronger but we could just easily end up like Boro. I'm actually not as fussed about the impending relegation anywhere near as much as I used to be. I still want us to stay up obviously, but we've spent so long circling the drain that the constant relegation battles are just getting incredibly boring and tedious.

Max the Silent Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I had today down as one of the 5-6 must win games for survival,and I can't see where they'll come from now. I won't lose hope though until we inevitably throw in the towel against Burnley. For me, I'd rather stay in the prem than win the fa cup, as bad as that may sound. I'd prefer last week's win to have come today instead. As exciting as it is to think we might have a chance of some silverware, there's 7 better teams than us still in it too. Anyway, I don't want us to become another Birmingham, Wigan or Portsmouth. We now have a mini league of 4 teams to come top of. That is the sum total of Tim's job, and what he will be judged on come the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we'll come straight back up (because there's a considerably chance that we'll be stuck down there for a long time) but that's highly unlikely. EDIT: I get it, you mean you don't want to see us win a cup but go down? Still, I think we'll have a better chance of coming back up than all of them.
