Obviously I'd take survival over cups any day, however, fortunately, i have no say in the future so just sitting back and enjoying the ride in what is one hell of an exciting, interesting and relevant season for us.

If we drop we've got 6 top earners out of contract and five loan players returning to their parent clubs, that will help massively regarding having the resources to keep hold of our better players, not that there'd be many good ones left. Then It's a matter of convincing them players to stay.

Would Ellis hang around if you did drop though?
Seems a proud sort of chap so I'd assume he would.

I think so, I hope so. He's still a bit of an enigma so it's hard to say how passionate he is but he's shown signs of catching the bug.

I got the numbers wrong there fella.
Larsson, Gardner and Bardsley are out of contract and are on steve bruce 30k+pw wages, Cuellar, Westwood and Colback are out of contract too.

Loans are as follows.

Ki
Borini
Alonso
Vergini
Ustari
Dossena
Celustka

So that would be 13 off the books straight away, plus we should be debt free and running in the black with parachute payments. Financially we'll be fine, stay up and we've another big build summer.

Oooof, that would be some clear out. I guess you better pray for safety as I wouldn't fancy your chances of promotion if you lost that lot.

And how many of them do you hope/expect to keep if you stay up? Some fairly important players to you on that list.

Precisely. Colback, Borini, Ki, Larsson etc. would be big misses. Plus I guess if they did go down, then prem / overseas clubs would potentially bid for the likes of a Fletcher, Mannone and Johnson. So it could look pretty grim.
 
Ki, Borini & Alonso are defo keeps. Vergini too soon to say. Of the others, I'd keep Gardner & Bardsley, but the rest...
 
Dunno TBH. Borini knows he'd be behind Suarez and Sturridge; Ki doesn't appear to be wanted by Swansea, for reasons I cannot fathom and Alonso..? Well, he's only just got here. We all know if we drop we'll have trouble keeping the better players, but I'd hope we'd tie in those three if we can.

I can't see Borini or Ki staying if you're in the championship to be honest.
