No chance- I suppose it depends how old you are, but there's no way I'd trade one crazy achievement for around 50 years (if I'm lucky) of total failure. Look at Forest, their older generation have their success to look back on with fondness, but their children and grandchildren have nothing- anyone under 25 won't even remember them as a Premier League club! As great as winning it would be, the depression of totally collapsing as a football club like them would outweigh the joy massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, couldn't stand the frustration of never coming back up, it would be dire for the rest of my time supporting us and the achievement would fade away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 14 February 2017 Share Posted 14 February 2017 Well Paul Merson fancies them to destroy us and thinks they've got a chance of winning the whole thing, and suddenly I feel a bit optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah don't know why we are bothering to be honest. All that's peripheral bollox. I'd rather do all that in the summer. It's the football that matters. Hope you enjoy it.

Somehow the Wigan scout managed to work out a midweek trip out of the cold to sunny benfica. With no players on show interested in a move to them. Maybe we should get him instead of Ruskin, clearly he can work angles to get things done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyleicester Posted 14 February 2017 Share Posted 14 February 2017 We will have scouts all over the shop but these are potential future Champions League opponents so obviously worth scouting. That may sound optimistic but who knows, Barca got dicked 4-0 when it should have been doubled so if Sevilla get 6 men sent off I reckon we will get the tie wrapped up within 90 mins.

Very happy we didn't draw any big shark. At least with sevilla, we'll get trashed away but maybe can go out in a blaze of glory at the KP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volpeazzurro Posted 15 February 2017 Share Posted 15 February 2017 Winning the CL or FA cup in exchange for being relegated, does tend to polarise views and, just because I'm of the older age group doesn't mean that my view is more valid than someone a lot younger. However, if you'd offered me 3yrs ago, if you can be promoted, have a great escape first year, win the Premiership the second and play in the Champions league in return for the next 3yrs back in the Championship, I would have snapped your hands off, believing that it couldn't happen and was so far fetched! The problem is, once you've had a taste... Personally I'd rather be a yoyo club occasionally winning something than being a Stoke/West Brom who constantly finishes mid way. I actually really enjoyed the Championship the last 2 or 3 seasons compared to some of the non competative one's in the Premiership / Division 1 where we regularly got beat. The novelty of seeing the supposed 'best players' beat us every week soon wore off. I'm an optomist still at present as I can see us finishing 5th from bottom and semi finals of the FA cup (Seville a trip too far). Then, if we stay up, I see a bright future with the really young players we have + a couple of additions. If we did happen to go down, I'd still look forward to next season, I'm incurable!
