I can still see shaqiri, Butland & Ramadan still going.
Maybe Lambert could tempt Grealish to Stoke?

We're definitely staying up.
Whether it'll be a scrape or not remains to be seen.
I reckon we'll be down with less than 5 minutes of the final game to go, then some freak events will keep us up.

Whatever level we will be playing at next season,it will be a squad of frees,loanees and cheaper than chips players.
The Board are more concerned about their bank balances than Stoke City.

I have really set my mind on the Championship for next season, but if we stay up I'll celebrate as a madman! I really don't think we're too far off a decent team, but we needed somebody to reinstall some defensive structure which I belive Lambert has done. We will need a new left back, a new winger, a defensive midfielder or a battling central midfielder, but most crucial of all a player able to score 12+ goals during a season. The last one will be the hard one to find, but there are a lot of decent talent out there that actually can do it! Can we find it?

If we stay up....we would still be a long standing prem side which can attract excellent players
Maybe recruitment needs to change?

I don't think we will, but, even if we do I still think it's inevitable that there will be a mass exodus from the Club. Butland, Shaq, Shawcross, Allen, Ramadan and others will depart I reckon.

Why would he play for Pulis after what came out in the aftermath of the Berahino signing? And Southampton? Again, think that would be a no. Even if they survive I can see them struggling again and the last thing Shawcross needs is 2 consecutive relegations on his CV. Plus, playing in a Hughes team as good as ruined his reputation as a solid defender.

Every single player out of the door bar Badou, Bauer and Martins Indi.
I’m resigned to Shaqiri leaving regardless, Shawcross will be staying no matter what happens, the rest of them can piss off from the Potteries as far away as physically possible, never seen a bigger bunch of feckless anuses in my life.
We need an entire squad, and that’s not an exaggeration.

If we could keep Bauer, Shawcross, Indi, Badou, Cameron, Choupou and Diouf we will have a spine to build on, and with youngsters like Campbell, NGoy, Verlinden and Edwards we should fare well in the Championship. I haven't mentioned Butland, Shaq, Allen, Crouch or Ramadan as there seems to be too many PL clubs wanting these players, so I really can't see them staying with us. Hopefully they will bring in so much money that we can invest in enough quality to go straight up again.

Thinking about it, staying up would probably be worse than going down. We'd be in for the same old, same old in the Premiership, getting a good kicking every other week and trying to stay off the bottom. Not good.
Going down might be the jolt that the owners need.
Whatever, the best hope we have is if the club is sold.

If we even scrape it this season (we won’t), unless there is drastic change in attitude at board room level down (there won’t), it’ll beHolocaust season II next season.

Staying up at this point would represent little more than a stay of execution.
