Really enjoyed reading the posts here. Nice to see a balanced view.

I have really enjoyed this season, regardless of how it ends. If we stay up I would be over the moon, if we go down then I’ll look forward to next season.

We would start the Championship season with parachute payments (which don’t guarantee success, but really help).

I also think we’d have the bones of a decent squad based on players who would stay:

Horvath

Williams, Worrall, Niakhate, Richards, McKenna, Panzo

Yates, O’Brien, Shelvey (?), Colback

Bowler, MGW, Awoniyi, Wood, Dennis (?)

Obviously we may not keep all of those players, but I think it’s not too unrealistic. We’d also likely bring in some more quality.

Boly would stay, another Prem team won’t take him.
You’ve also missed Toffolo,

Colback is out of contract and will leave at the end of the season regardless of the league we’re in.
Danilo will stay with us as would Scarpa

Nailed on Scarpa and Danilo end up at oly, maybe even taiwo or dennis

Must admit that I forgot a few. I can see Scarpa at Oly. Wonder if the big man would rather have Danilo spending a year starting in the Championship and spearheading a promotion push over a year at Oly? I think Taiwo would be a real asset in the Champ. Dennis is an interesting one. On his day he’s excellent, but how often is his day?
