Financial cost of relegation?

[Danishfurniturelover]

So I think with our form it is now a possibility.

Not going to debate about the manager, players or chairman. But was wondering what the cost would be if we go down.

Do the players have to accept a drop in wages, do our sponsorship deals go down. I assume ticket prices would rise to cover the cost of us going down. Though with 2 South Koreans we obviously now get twice as much money from Asia.

Would it hit as hard as Covid.

On the plus side, some of the moaners might disappear if we get relegated plus we get to win our home games, plus hopefully be able to get tix for some good away grounds. Look on the bright side!!

The fact that we are even discussing relegation perhaps suggests that some “moaning” is justified.

 

[lurker of old]

Given our points total, of course moaning is justified, but I meant some of the fans at the Lane who like to slag the players off...

I don't think this thread is necessary until the end of Feb by which time we play four teams currently below us (including United!)

We could feasibly change the title to financial implications of sneaking top 4 by then...

If we are anywhere close to top 4 then I will buy you a drink at a game in March mate.

Could be a way to win a trophy I suppose

lol, I'm not saying we will be (backtracking furiously...) but I think it's more likely we'll be heading up the table by then than in a relegation scrap. I'll take that drink regardless please, and a smoked salmon bagel

There is no chance that we will be relegated. I respect you mate but come on, you’re jumping the gun a bit. We will clear 40 points by the end of April. It’s not been a fun season in most respects but it won’t go that dark either.

I don't think we will but I don't turst us to hold our nerve in up coming games against Everton, Leics, Brentford or Villa, I say that becuase two of them away crucially away. By the time we get to United we could be bang in trouble

I'm not convinced we will get forty points, but I'm convinced that we will not be relegated.

No chance of top 4. Even if we get 40 points from our remaing 17 games (2.35 avg. per game), we only get to 64. Saudi Sportswashing Machine only need 26 more to get there. If we get anywhere near 60 points, I'd be delighted! Average 2 points per game from now, gives us 58. Hard to imagine a points haul like that, given our current form.

That said, i'm not even slightly worried about relegation.

Don't drink it, unless you want to spend April in his basement.

If he's got a mortgage, I'll pay it off.

 

[parklane1]

It is not going to happen.

This has turned into a very profitable post for me. Providing of course we start climbing the table which may prove to be the stumbling block

 

[Raziel]

It is not going to happen.

This, lets be clear

- Southampton is dead
- Leicester, Ipswich and Wolves will provide the other 2

Could it get uncomfortable, sure

This is where the Leicester, Everton and Ipswich being in our next 5 PL games matter

If we were to lose 2 of those, think the trigger gets pulled

 

[johnola]

It won’t cost me anything anyway.

Plus we haven’t had the round of point deductions yet.

 

[SpiderSpurs]

Average cost of a ST in the Championship is £452, so every cloud and all that...

Levy would be happy as it's at least another 4 home games a season
