The worst might happen 3years from relegation if nobody buys the likes of Benteke and takes his £130k wage off us. We will lose any quality: Dann all gone. Then the unwanted and out of contract all going. Hennessey Yep the Championship will be welcome. Instead of losing a 5 a side team we'll be losing 11 and completely changing the whole team strategy. Yeah we'll be enjoying it every second. Have a think again.

Lets be fare here, Parish and the owners have invested into the playing squad. They are all assetts. Some will of course go down but others will go up. Parachute payments will kick in so they will have the oney for the wages. Hardest part will be the majority of the team will probably be sold and we would need to rebuild. Pretty much like Villa and other relegated teams have to. We would certainly lose the following: Benteke; Townsend; Zaha; Cabaye; Van Anholt; Schlupp; Milivojevic; Mandanda; Flamini and of course Sakho and Remy. We might possibly also lose McArthur, Souare, Sako, Wickham and Lee. Maybe I'm being a little pessimistic but seems a possibility to me - that's 14 of our current 25 plus two currently injured.

If we get relegated, our squad will get picked apart, our club will be in immense financial jeopardy, and the club's infrastructure will go backwards. I don't know why so many people love proclaiming that relegation will somehow cleanse this club for the better. It requires a complete mental block of how things actually were in the Championship. This is why i wished we kept the mentality 'we are lucky to be in this league, let's do our best to stay in here and develop the club'. What does that mean? Gradually updating the playing squad, looking to getting to 40pts as quickly as possible, staying grounded and not let hype go to our head. Where did we go wrong (hindsight is a wonderful thing) - talk of Europe, signing Bentekke for 30 million, saying that Cabaye was the bench mark people need to play at and be at to get his wages. Talk of transitions, wanting to pay free flowing attractive football. If we had the mentality of securing status as quickly as possible and enjoying a good cup run. You got to get a stable, defensive unit - draw every game you stay up, it's that simple, you win, you can afford a loss, i am being basic but you understand the 'pulis' philosophy. Ward, Damo and Papa all should have had back ups this summer, it wouldn't broken the bank. Pardew and Parish were each others own worst enemies.

Zaha has some green grass in front of him here. Finds Ambrose |

'Learn to walk before you run.' I liked the way we played under Pardew, but he tried to get us running with joggers. We weren't ready. A nice idea, but far too early. If we stay in this league, I will despair, as I did last time, of talk about playing in Europe. That makes us as bad as all the other teams fans slagged off on here. Deluded, with a sense of entitlement. Edited by Tim Gypsy Hill '64 (06 Feb 2017 11.18pm)

Go and watch 35 mins of every Pardew 2nd half to skew your view again.

we should have looked at mid table security with the prospect of europe via a cup - even if we did get europe, look at clubs in it for the first time - wigan, lei etc. respect is earned, not something a blank cheque gets you. imagine having 31 points right now and still in the cup.. we had that a year ago, look how it can all change,
