Well first time in ‘The Championship’ as it is now.
The only positive argument for relegation is that Ashley might sell for a lower fee, but even that depends on funding a buyer who'd want a Championship club which is far less attractive than the crazy money you get for 17th in the Premier League.
He won't. Read an article the other day saying if we went down his valuation will remain the same, and one of the reasons he ditched Stavely was her pushing to obtain a lower valuation if we had gotten relegated last season.

At the very least, Ashley will never drop his valuation below what we owe him. And if we went down and he had to pump more money in to keep the club afloat, in all likelihood we'll be stuck with him forever. In my mind the hopes of him selling us rest purely on us being a PL club so it is vital we stay up this year for that reason alone.

There are no positives to relegation at all, as you outlined. People wishing for it are blinkered by the anomaly of our last two seasons in the Championship. I'd rather see us scrapping for 17th in the Premier League every year then settling for 13th in the Championship. People moaned last time about us actually having to fight for promotion. Imagine scrapping for points against Blackburn and Reading every week? No thanks.

But as Samp have signed Gabbiadini, expected to go back to Roma where he's surplus. No idea if he's any good tho. I saw links a few days ago but I presumed it was in view of taking over the loan.

That's what I assumed myself. He's done OK this year 7 goals in 16 games for Samp

<notbad>

Any incoming transfer would be a plus at this time. We need a cam and addition to lb as well as the necessary striker addition. Not holding my breath.

Ashley has made a big money move for HMV. Hopefully can create a few chances and chip in a few themselves.

not that we expect the Almiron deal to be done - but he basically uses his left foot only... will get worked out too quickly....

that left foot would need to come up with 8-10 goals & 15-20 assists for 100k a week salary....

Arjen Robben, Mesut Ozil, Dybala*, Bale are all predominantly left footed players who rarely use their right foot they've done alright in their careers so far (not comparing Almiron to their level but one footed players can succeed if they are talented enough).

* Read something the other day that Dybala is training his right foot to better by using it to write and draw

Daniel Day Lewis won an Oscar for being one footed.

For £2m I'd be tempted. He'd be a better plan B from the bench than Joselu.

Though the issue is, can he stay fit for more than 3 games a season?

Probably not,

We haves scouts over at the Asian Cup, one was in attendance at the Iran v Oman game yesterday both Milad Mohammadi and Sardar Azmoun of Iran rumoured to be the one we were having a closer look at.

We had been linked with Azmoun before so interesting to see us still looking at him
