But who knows what their owner will do when faced with relegation, much like ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan457 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 As someone who doesn't play FM, could the concept of a relegation clause be explained to me? Obviously something changes (wages etc.) but do they benefit the club or the player? Do the players get released or do we have the power to keep them, or is it to do with being able to keep them on much lower wages? How does having them written into the players contract help prepare us for the drop is basically what I'm asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Defoe will probably be snapped up by one of the promoted clubs if Sunderland go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Just realised that today we reached the astounding statistic of 0.5 points per match. Well done lads, something to be really proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 How depressing... I live near Rotherham now. Here I am sat in my front room when I hear some kids walking past on the street bouncing a football. One says to the other "I hope Rotherham stay up", other kid says "so do I, we'll be playing Villa next season". That's our reality now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a wage drop, agreed cut-price transfer or a release or then again maybe none of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear it will get worse next season, especially if Sheff Weds go up there's loads of their fans round here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Im really glad Newcastle lost. Them and Sunderland coming down with us woulb be nice. It will ease the pressure and we will feel less bad in the coming weeks. Next season we will worry about it after knowing how our summer will go.

supernova26 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Something I've been expecting to happen is about too.... What you ask? @StanCollymore BREAKING. Sunday Times tomorrow alludes to Premier League footballers involved in doping scandal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our players obviously not involved, but the teams involved imo should face relegation! Some of them definitely have 'creative scientists' in their camp. Edited April 2, 2016 by supernova26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 So next week it's all over finally? We lose to Bournemouth and Norwich pick up something and mathematically it's done. Will certainly stay to the end, I expect massive abuse at any player brave enough to even cross the halfway line towards the Holte End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them definitely have 'creative scientists' in their camp. Why not any of ours? Wouldn't surprise me at all. A couple of them have physically disappeared without trace so wouldn't surprise me if the press, who probably have knowledge about players from bigger clubs, use our demise to exploit it all.

abdulaziz1 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Its really funny that 3 of us seem to be going down at once. All three teams wanted to laugh at the other. Funnily all seem to be going together. Well this way is much better to make them laugh at the end. I hope we use the advantage of 2 months before other teams begin working.

TrinityRoadSteps Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 So Gabby gets "investigated" and then the next day this comes out. Coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 'Doping' would ordinarily mean 'performance enhancing', which is clearly not the case at Villa. Maybe they thought doping meant smoking dope? it would explain the lethargic performances, it would explain Gabby's KFC addiction too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also concerns me, as out the three we have the most to do to mount a promotion challenge, with the chairman the least motivated to do so. The pain of been laughed for dropping would be preferable to getting stuck in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
