Seeing Lucy Pinder next season when Mr Ego is announced as manager. 
Only thing to look forward to. 

You've somehow put a positive spin on the situation. Kudos.

[Larry_LCFC]

By the time our decent players move on after relegation is confirmed, I genuinely don't even think we have a championship squad. Double relegation written all over it.

Back to Bristol, trip to Sheffield, Oxford, Pompey and Wycombe be fun

Kristiansen left because of Enzo's system as opposed to not wanting to play in this league. 

Seemed a bit convenient to me

I'm think maybe it's what we need. Somehow throughout this club there is a culture of pure complacency and incompetence, from top to bottom, every department, it's visible in every amature thing they do, always has been under King Power. It surprises me they are a retail company but so utterly shit at retail and service, I suppose when you are backhanding the Thai King it's easy to be a success.

This still gets us playoffs with a few additions needed. That assumes Soumare, Ndidi, Winks, Vardy, Faes, VK all go.

No chance.

No chance of what? Being favourites or coming back up?

Remember the years spent in the championship by F**est and the mess De**y are in .... well that is where we are heading for .... what annoys me is winning the league and Cup... playing in Europe all that was wasted ... when stronger foundations should have been laid for the future 

I get your sentiment but I would still of taken winning the premier leage, Europe and fa cup and being where we are now...it was a dream that could never happen.  It's hurting like he'll the way we have been mismanaged but still have the memories...may be banned for some positivity

Oh f***, imagining next season

 

Jakub (Mads sold, and please Rudkin even you can't give Ward a new contract)

 

New RB (coulibaly will leave on loan refusing to play in the Championship)

Nelson

Vestegaard (I just can't see anyone coming in for him)

Thomas

 

Skipp

Braybrooke

 

Fatawu (hopefully injury will stop him leaving)

Alves

Cordova-Reid

 

Vardy (Yes he'll still be here on 90k a week)

 

Managed by some poor useless idealess idiot that accepts the job (RVN will be gone by the end of this month)

 

Lower Table finish

Oof. That is absolute gash, don't forget that we will get back Hamza, who is on that ridiculously long contract. Who would bet against back to back relegations right now?

Me to ..its mostly its been beyond expectations .... the downside is we should have used the great times to establish firm foundations in the youth, scouting and coaching set ups ... we didn't and now look at us

Some good away days pushing league one play offs. I’m hoping Leyton Orient do it.

Being favourites.

 

We'll likely have a hefty points deduction if the EFL get their way.

[Foxin_Mad]

Suppose it depends who we can clear out or if the club still has delusions of grandeur. If they clear out, admit where they are and start again from scratch I'd be behind that but likely they ostrich it, we keep on the same path, jeep the same dross, somehow get promoted and have Thailands z list on the pitch again. 

[cropstonfox]

Whatever happens we'll be back.could take

5 or 10 years but let's start from scratch and enjoy the ride again.

They can keep the Premier league circus and its protected cartel

[Corky]

Looking forward to a billion 12.30pm kick-offs.

That's a big IF. There's certainly no guarantee we get a hefty points deduction. Without that we would probably be around 5/1 favourites to win the league. Ipswich maybe 11/2 and Southampton 8/1. Burnley/ Sheff Utd 10/1.

[Kp1984]

Sad but I’ve accepted we will be playing championship football next season just a case of seeing our the remaining games

Who's starting the L1 26/27 thread?

I’m waiting for the “who’s getting a bloated contract at the end of 25/26” thread.

I ****ing hate them, I'm not going to any stupid TV time games the can **** off, sick of it. I want to enjoy the build up grap a pint, not disrupt my entire weekend. 

[OntarioFox]

I'm moving to Merseyside in Spring and considering going to Tranmere for my footy fix. They're in a relegation scrap themselves right now in League Two, but I can forsee a point where in two years time I have split loyalties as we face off in League One.

 

Maybe Marine are more my level.

We’ll be favourites to win the league next season if we go down and will have a decent chance of coming straight back up. 

 

Go to bed, you're drunk. 

[Clogger_]

Championship's more fun than PL anyway. Well, except for Don bl**dy Goodman.

[Sly]

I’m not so sure you can make any judgement call on where we’ll finish next season currently. 

 

We’ll be significantly worse than the team that came back up last time. 
 

It’s clear Daka most likely won’t be here, then Vardy retires. Who’s scoring the goals?
