Whilst I would agree that we might well enjoy the championship, we have an enormous amount to do to restore the harmony within the club before that can happen or we could follow Sunderland. At a guess I would say we might lose Evans, Livermore, Krychoviak, Chadli, Rondon, Dawson, Foster (?) before the new season. In any event we will be a very different club.
If this or any of this happens, with the freed up salary commitments plus parachute money we will be very cash rich. Somebody then ( and thank God it's not me ) has to find a manager to spend wisely on new talent capable of performing to a high level in the championship. Let's give some credit to Bruce and Villa - they have shipped out some of the dead wood and brought in decent replacements and are riding high in the championship. It was not easy to stop the rot so quickly.
This season has been an unmitigated bloody disaster with catastrophic mismanagement. I believe we have surrendered 21 points from winning positions so far. We never were a bad side, just a team that got more and more lacking in the confidence to defend a lead as the season progressed.

Although I look forward to the championship, I am absolutely gutted that we are going down. It should never have happened.
