Player Valuation: £70m
If we had failed in one of our recent escape acts do you think we'd have bounced back with100 points like Leeds or done an old school Man City (or Luton) and slipped into the third tier?
 
Neither.

We'd have just got a couple of mid table finishes.

Honestly, I think we forget the disaster that would have befallen us if we'd gone under in the last two seasons before this one.

It's why I'm not completely anti-Moyes...in the sense if he stays on I wont complain that much.

I reckon we could have been like Leeds or Burnley, getting re-promoted quickly without much trouble. However, with the position we were in finacially, it would have been impossible to guarantee that, so we could well have been another Luton.

Let's not worry about it, hopefully we can put relegation battles behind us now and kick on up the table.
 
Honestly, looking at the Burnley squad, Sheffield United squads. Wed have went straight back up. Sheffield United got 90 points and they're pitiful.

Even in financial ruin. The Championship used to be the most erratic and wild league, which i feared us ever dropping in to.

Nowadays, the PL money more or less gives you a shield unless you really did just ride your luck, ala Luton.

Leeds bounced back by losing the playoff final and spending another season in the Championship.
 
Too difficult to give a definitive opinion.

You have to say that we would have had no issues with attracting the better players to be able to comfortably bounce back, but the financial instability might have meant that we could not fully structure it. We might have had to settle for mid table for a couple of years and get some stability back before going for promotion all out.

There would, of course, have been the possibility of dropping like a stone because football can be like that. You can have some of the best players, a decent manager, but things don't click and you start to spiral uncontrollably.

No guarantee we'd have been brought out. Or by the same owners. Relegated with the absentee ownership of Moshiri?

Could have been nasty. Hard to say, it's reverse crystal bsll gazing.
