It's a league where only 6 teams can compete and the other 14 are restricted from having ambition or getting owners that could take them to the next level and challenge them 6 clubs.
My views are that if we go down, stay down then Ashley will sell. He won't put money in year after year when he isn't receiving the riches of PL television money.
He doesn't invest now when he gets it, so he won't put money in when he doesn't. I genuinely believe for the club to have a future we have to hit rock bottom like we did before Keegan dragged the club up from its knees.
I’ve swung back and forward on this a couple of times - whether it’s better for SDFC to be relegated or not.
Obviously the best is the option where Ashley leaves asap and for me, it all boils down to whether you think the/a takeover is a good possibility in the near future. Clearly, if it is, then it’s better not to be relegated.

My own feeling is that there is not a good chance of a takeover currently and so we should hope for relegation to get our club back. I’m fully aware that we will not bounce back soon but, Christ, I’d take that in a heart beat to cut out the cancer.
