Deal with Crowley the king of hell. Win the league. hell hounds then come for you.
Call the Winchesters to stand any chance.

Don't get the above ? Shame on you.
 
Here's a question,

Would you take The RS winning the league to get relegated the next year?

Such a difficult question because I really really really don't one to happen but I really really really really want the other to happen!!

Yet your avatar has a quote from Andy Gray after a certain goal by the said team. I don't want them to ever win the league again in my lifetime.
 
If I was Wigan (Following FA Cup), Newcastle, Leicester or the likes then yes as they are teams used to relegation and not used to winning.

Everton, No.

Evertonians cannot have that arrogance in this era. I'm in my late 20's and whilst I am proud of what our club has achieved in the past, in my lifetime, Leicester City have been more successful. 1 League Title last season, and 2 League Cups in the last 20 years.

I am not used to winning as an Evertonian, I am used to us falling at every tough hurdle we face be it Champions league qualifiers, Merseyside Derbies or FA Cup Semi Finals.
 
The only way this would be remotely under consideration if the terms of the fair godmothers deal was such:

1. Win the league this season.
2. Get relegated the next due to circumstances outside the clubs control, i.e. - coach crash that puts most of the squad out for the rest of the season with injuries and no way to replenish.
3. Easily win the Championship, and FA Cup to boot.
4. Win the Prem 5 times in a row for the next 5 seasons.

Only then would that fairy have me considering putting pen to paper on that deal - and even then, I'd be questioning her motivation for offering it, and be wondering who else she's offering this deal to.
I think I would die of my second heart attack in one year after number 3. What a roller coaster.

I'd prefer they won the league, only to fall foul of an investigation into financial scullduggery, drug taking and offensive banners, thus resulting in a 50 point deduction and relegation. The title would then go to the team who finished 15 points behind them and only had to walk across stanley park to collect the trophy.
 
Surely the logic is, if you wouldnt want us to win the league, but then go down, then you would be happy for that to happen to the loveables?


I think.
 
I would take winning the title and getting relegated the next season. I know we have this "honour" of being the team who have been in the top flight for the most seasons, but to me football has got to be about trying to win trophies, not just surviving.

Also I don't think relegation is the problem it was years ago when the likes of Forrest and Leeds were relegated. You get the parachute payments and if you keep your squad together can probably bounce back at the first attempt.

Looking at the stats, since the premier league was founded there have been 71 teams relegated and 20 have bounced back at the first attempt. Those that don't seem to be the ones who have gone bankrupt or have in some way struggled financially.

Looking at the Championship today, Newcastle look set to return Automatically, Norwich might make the playoffs and Aston Villa look like they are going no where. I think there are only 6 teams out of the 24 current championship teams who haven't been premier league at some point

Yes, that'd be the funniest thing of all time, their crying faces in der faymus kop end holding their half-half scarves upside down trying to sing YNWA with wobbly voices through a sea of tears. Who doesn't want to watch that?
 
hmm a 100/1 bet followed by a 500/1 bet that you have inside knowledge on...plus the chance to see Everton win the league, where do I sign?!Think I might take a gap year the season we get relegated and go spend my phase 1 winnings
