Would Relegation Be that Bad?

[JJK]

Of course it is. We would never come back.

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

 

[Brendan Janus]

Not necessarily !!

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Yes, see Leeds, Sheff Wed, Forest etc.

 

[orly]

Yes definitely. Loads of people at the club - not the coaches and the players, but the day to day people who keep it running - would lose their jobs overnight. It would be a disaster.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

We're moving from denial to resignation. Acceptance cant be far off.

 

[Acelisc008]

Relegation would be horrific, and should never be logically justified. I'd rather finish 17th for 2 seasons running than go down to hopefully come back up.

 

[Abraders]

It'd be bad because we'd get mauled by most teams down there and there's no way we'd make it back up

 

[Papa Shango]

Yes, yes it would.

Being the longest tenured top flight club in England (if not the world?) is the only thing we can be vaguely proud of right now.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Yes it would be horrific. Disastrous. Catastrophic. Worst thread I've seen.

Get right in the bin.

 

[Penno]

I didn't even bother reading this but I am assuming you are a kopite.

 

[Joey66]

Yes definitely. Loads of people at the club - not the coaches and the players, but the day to day people who keep it running - would lose their jobs overnight. It would be a disaster.

YES!

 

[evertonarntwe]

I read the title and nothing else

yes, yes it would be bad.

 

[TraffordBlue]

Traditionally we aren't like other clubs where relegation wouldn't affect us as much because we're used to it. It would have a big impact on what we stand for as a club and on the support from the fans.

It's got to the stage now where relegation would absolutely kill us because of the new Stadium as well as the TV income. We need the Stadium to push us on and relegation would put us on a catastrophic downward spiral that we would never be able to recover from. When Spurs and Chelsea get their new 60,000 Stadiums we will fall even further behind the 'Big 6'. If we don't get our Stadium move as a Premier League Club then we will never have the chance to challenge those clubs ever again in my opinion.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

It would be the biggest disaster to befall this club, like, ever. So yes.
