Would we go bust if relegated ?

It would be very Everton to go out and beat City........

People aren't seriously worried about relegation are they?
It's a poor run but Martinez knows how to survive in this league

This is what we're talking, subtle, but with a good knowing dig. I miss Cookachoo.

if Martinez stays in charge will we stay up ?

I think Bill would need to sell but assuming we didn't I think we would be close.

We'd be down for years like Leeds and Nottingham Forest.

A real possibility.

The chances of bouncing right back up aren't near as good as they used to be.

If we got relegated I would deal with it by setting myself on fire tibetan monk style so sadly the state of the clubs finances wouldn't bother me.

In recent seasons perhaps, but there's an unsettling atmosphere and mood around the club currently which doesn't seem to fit this scenario. It's difficult seeing the same togetherness and belief within the squad.

I'm not saying it won't happen but if it does it will certainly be a bigger shock than when we beat them or Chelsea in previous years.

WE would just sell Lukaku for £60m.

dont think we will get 15m on him

I was curious about this, too. On a rudimentary level, you'd think it would unfold thusly:

Good news: The club's significant salable assets (Barkley, Lukaku, etc) would keep them on decent enough financial footing. While most relegated clubs don't carry the debt Everton do, they also don't have the luxury of cashing in on upwards of £75 million worth of players.

Bad news: What's left of the squad would have a difficult time earning promotion, and it might not be until Ledson, Kenny, Galloway etc grow up before the club make it back up.

Like with Wigan?

He kept them up against the odds for about 3 years didn't he? Or is that forgotten about now that he's lost a couple of games here?

Ahh okay it's Kopite to still like Roberto. Sorry Changy, hard to keep up these days. :coffee:

Erm, yes. Like with Wigan.

He kept them up for years while they spent hardly anything at all, had no youth setup, and a tiny wage bill.

No matter what happens, we will always be competing, at any level.

Football teams are exempt from business rules.

Nothing wrong with being a Kopite, I am.

I think relegation is a very real threat, we have 21 points from 20 games, but just as worrying is, I can't see where our next points are coming from.
