Watford for starters, apart from a slight up blip when Pearson first came in they have awful most of the season and they are two points below us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford, Norwich and one other I am guessing. Us and 3 or 4 others fighting to not be that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham have shocked me this season. Today was a massive blow for them mentally, being 2-0 up at home, then 3-1 and drawing, that’s soul crushing when you have Man City and Liverpool in the next two fixtures, then March doesn’t get much easier for them. Them are who I’m watching to collapse. They have the talent but hasn’t worked so far and is it too much for Moyes to turn around now. All of us have hard fixtures coming up so who knows. Like Southampton, teams can pick up a few quick results and they are out of it. I hope that’s us but feel this is going to the wire for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Watford throwing away leads vs us and Everton this week - I think they will be shell shocked from those. West Ham do have talent though. But you’re completely right. They are going to be right in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurru991 Posted February 1, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2020 It looks like six clubs are in the relegation race with Norwich having one of the spots locked up. Which of the five clubs can string some wins together is the question, it looked like Watford could but the wheels are falling off at the moment. I'm shocked that West Ham have are in the mix.

You're getting worked up about a discussion on an internet message board I think maybe you and some others need to get a grip It's an internet forum.

(Bar Jack) I don't know any other which has a devine right to be off to greener pastures because "they deserve it". A few of them would have to stay and help get us back up IMO. Problem is they bring in huge money. It depends on their attitude as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although after the idiots outside Man U’s Ed Woodward’s house the other night I wouldn’t be surprised these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the event we WERE relegated for example, I don't see what devine right the likes of Mings (We pretty much MADE him today's Mings), McGinn (Poor form/performances before injury) as well as others who contributed to poor performances/ leading to hypothetical relegation. As I said, barring Jack, i don't know why it should be set in stone that all these "better" players would "leave", or we would/should feel obliged to let them go, Why was that difficult to comprehend? I obviously used the sample of previous posts in the thread? Edited February 2, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I don't think this thread is inappropriate at all. Obviously the club will be planning what course of action they would take in the summer in the event of either staying up or going down. It would be utterly irresponsible for them not to have a plan in place for that eventuality. It's a very weird form of superstition to think that fans addressing the possibility on a message board makes it more likely to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to sell the spine of our team if we go down considering how much we have spent. Mings, McGinn and Jack will all leave.Probably Nakamba and Luiz as well.

If we go down, Jack will leave. Probably Mings. Maybe Luiz. Maybe Mcginn, I guess that'll depends on how he is after the injury. I think Samatta, Nakamba, Guilbert, Konsa etc will stay if theres no relegationclause in their contracts. Wesley and Heaton probably wont be fit when the season starts so they will stay. Discuss! I think we'd be in a fairly strong position should it happen, we would have a strong core to the team. Of the players I really want here next season I could only see Jack and Mings leaving I think SJM would stay. A starting 11 something along these lines would more than cope with the Championship. Heaton/Steer Engels Konsa Hause Guilbert Nakamba Luiz Hourihane Trez Samagoal AEG I don't think we'd need to spend to much either to get a bit of strength in depth, I'd go in for Eze and Manning from QPR and see what decent Championship defenders are available.

No need to worry anyway, if it looks like we are going to lose a game people can just “pop out and make a cup of tea”, we will be bound to score ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It's an unknown and a real possibility both, the thread has a place and is relevant as long as those two remain true, and as long as the latter is true it's quite appropriate, like it or not. It's a proposition I don't want to engage as of right now mostly because I have little insight or input into who would be worth what and where the interest for specific players would come from. What I will say is that I think you can add a few to the obvious departures who are destined for top flight football next season, and they would be Guilbert and Engels and perhaps Targett. Grealish, Heaton, McGinn, Mings are all on contracts that would attract interest and buyers, but I'm not so sure about Luiz. He's a real prospect, but I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed. But as I said, I know little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2020 I don't think we'll go down. But it's a distinct possibility. I think Norwich, Bournemouth and West Ham will go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
