Norwich better our result and we're down regardless. I thought if Newcastle and Sunderland go down they will automatically take the better players available in the league. We might have sneaked automatic promotion in a more open league but with them both them coming down we might be lucky to make play-offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Newcastle will be ok in The Championship with their team...we won't be. Big Sam will probably stay at Sunderland...then there's less TV matches ... didn't want these two coming with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I doubt Benitez will stay at Newcastle if they go down - he's probably got a clause in his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 We have been ready for the drop for years now. All nufc jan purchases will not have relegation clauses. The likes of Defoe will not have relegation clauses. It will be a race to restructure and we have an advantage there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 So is it next week we can officially get relegated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 They said at the AGM every player in the squad has one, those that didn't like bacuna got new contracts for the purpose of putting the clause in The comments from the AGM that I saw suggested we are very geared up for the drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt be surprised but any small chance we have for me dwindles with 2 big clubs down with us. If we went down with say Norwich and Swansea I would fancy us a lot more than now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Norwich draw to Palace and we lose to Bournemouth. Or if Norwich beat Palace and we only draw. edited- I know one of those possibilities involves us actually getting a point, but I thought I'd include it just to cover all bases.

a m ole Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I don't think it makes a difference whatsoever whether Newcastle or someone else comes down with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
