I think its a good job, there are no supporters in the ground, Smith may have had the treatment by now? It just may save his job. The one thing about a new man coming in is that there will not be enough time to prepare for the new season. Its looking like the Championship now so, we may as well prepare for that, im not sure we will lose the amount of players stated by ExV, Jack is the only one demanding a high fee and that will drop.
Even if and when we drop, I think we are stuck with the likes of:Guilbert, Nyland,Targett, Hause, Konsa, (Dread) but they will be better for their 1 season prem experience. Jacks Gone, Mings will go for sure, Citeh may come back for Luiz but not sure on SJM, Wesley or Samatta.
The club will have parachute payment plus 100 million from sales, wealthy owners so a semi rebuild is not a problem. Lets face it were not very good and for all the idiots that will flood this board with childish insults, im not bothered.
Newcastle went down came up and straight back down but were better for it. The promotion via the playoffs was great, a breath of fresh air after all the doom but all too sudden, we got lucky and that is evident now. Yesterday we saw the model...Wolves, they got rid of their dinosaur in Lambert! Got a name is, somehow attracted CL standard players avoiding FFP and build a bloody good team that was too good for the championship, the same team with enhancements took to the prem like a duck to water.i'm Afraid thats what we have got to do or very similar.
Ps, can see wolves in the CL and winning the Prem within the next 3 years! Good luck to them.
I say that with envy but its time to face facts, take it on the chin, get ready to dust down and go again.....thats football and unless you are Liverpool, no football fan has a lot to brag about at the minute as the game is a farce!
I would rather face facts that just hope but never stop dreaming.
