Anyone watching Mansfield or Wrexham yesterday should be bricking it. Both excellent and took the fight to good opposition. Teams in lower leagues capable of going up a gear when they really want to. We will be everyone’s cup final next season if we go down - no certainty to come up by any means. Mansfield are 16th in league 1 and gave Arsenal a much better game than us (yes I know it was their 2nd team).

We're not so good at cup finals this season. We have one every week and come runners up every time.

Exactly this. If relegation comes, I’ll swallow it and try and find some positives but The Championship will be fudging hard.

The other point is, even if we come back up, we won’t come up as a top 6 or even top half club. The likes of Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Villa struggled in the lower half for years after they came up (one season for Saudi Sportswashing Machine under Pardew excepted).

Relegation and even promotion changes our expectations dramatically.

You could argue we’re already at that stage regardless if we go down or not. Just a mediocre bottom half club now.

They delta between us and though side in monetary terms is huge today and would still be if we came back up IMO
 
The question is how much will the "big" players go for if we are in the championship? most of them are on long deal right so we pretty much pick the price or they stay and play in the Championship?
