Was thinking on the way home as I drove past the Brit...
If worst came to the worst and we ended up going down again, would it be a total disaster? How do we plan for that?
Leicester went down there, Wolves went down there. Sunderland are still down there... Had to rebuild.
I don't think we're quite Sunderland material but all the same.. What will it take for the Coates family to finally ring wholesale changes?
We never got the changes promised after Hughes was sacked and if we can't stop the rot we'll be firmly up shit creek with half a bastard paddle by Christmas.
If we went down, does it destroy us or do we do what Leicester and Wolves managed to do?
Would be interested to know what happened with said clubs

Catastrophic.
I’d wager us to drop even further, we are a plague at present.

Yup, would you be confident that our leaders could get us out of that league

A relegation to League One would be financially catastrophic for this club.
If we went, we'd be gone for a very long time indeed.
All those romanticising about how 'honest' the football is down there and looking back with rose-tinted spectacles ('we had some great times in the shit divisions') need to give your head a wobble.
We're already lightyears behind clubs like Wolves, Leicester etc - falling again would make the gap even wider.

We would be in a far worse situation than Sunderland who have a much bigger and loyal fan base, and even they are struggling to get back up.

Jesus, Coates had to sell to a bunch of fisherman to get us back up before. What a ridiculous thought.

It'd be good to drop to a league where we could win a few games.
Which is what I thought when we dropped into the Championship.

Yes and no.
It increases the risk of complete implosion, and it takes you to places like Wycombe, where you could get turned over by a weight lifting wrestler, but it also slightly increases the chance of waking people up, and it gives you an opportunity to rebuild from the top down.
I haven't got a clue as to who at the club would be capable, but the opportunity would be there.
Southampton are the best example. They went down and used it to totally revamp their side with youth players, who climbed through the league's with them.
I'd rather we woke up now though, and did it from where we are.
If I ever saw us getting shithoused by that wrestler at Wycombe, I think I'd go for a long walk on the M40. It was bad enough when they did it years ago with Lawrie Sanchez and Sean Devine.

Only bit would be my lot would get to grounds they have not been and we get away quicker
Apart from that silver lining it is a very dark cloud the club would step in to
We have been there before but without money To go there with money would be one of the worst club management cluster fuck in the history of football
I just don’t get what Coates is thinking? Pay back time?

Great night at Wycombe for Gudjon’s 1st game but soon back down to Earth on the Saturday with a 1-1 home draw to Colchester 😄 Didn’t we have one of the lowest crowds for that Wycombe home game that finished 2-2?

I don't think it would be the worst thing
Other clubs have been down and back up and then gone on to better things.
Sunderland fans are probably far happier than they were as they get to see some wins

If we drop down to League 1, I'm telling you right now that we'll be stuck there for a long, long time. It'll cripple the club inside and out. We need the rot to stop now or otherwise face the absolute disastrous consequences.

It would be a disaster and would require a hell of alot of investment from the Coates family to keep our heads above water. Due to the differences in FFP however, league one is much easier to get out of with a rich owner.

The same thing happens as when you get relegated from the Premier League. You start off thinking at least we might finally win a few games, then you quickly realise it just means you’re now losing to and generally struggling against an even lower standard of opponent.
These clowns wouldn’t win games in the PDSL because they are a bunch of losers.

Dropping into the Championship was catastrophic.
Dropping into League One would be apocalyptic.

Yes would be my answer.
However, it is a good point that other clubs and a lot of them at that, have gone down to the third tier and come back stronger.
