Bit early to call just yet as it remains to be seen what has been written into certain contracts if this situation arose. We know the bitters have an astronomical wage bill and will have to off load but apart from perhaps Austin who would get more money elsewhere? Unless contractually obligated to do one or face a wage drop in a lower league they may just choose to sit on a healthy pay packet. Redknapp has much to answer for and has dropped them royally in the 5hit. Burnley have been pretty sensible it seems but they will likely lose Ings amongst others. Hull have concerns over the volatility of their owners but Brucie is no fool and I'm sure he has had assurances. An immediate return will be a tough call for any of them. We are already going to have the 3 play off losers in the mix plus Derby, Wolves and maybe Forest. In summary, whoever keeps the highest possession % will undoubtedly make a hasty return.
with a gun to my head, id say hull as they seem to have mot only the best squad-but also the best manager. However if any of those 3 go down i cant see any of em getting back up within the next 2-3 years, such is the quality and competitiveness of the championship. Newcastle would bounce straight back, but after their point, and hull's run in-i just cant see them down
QPR will have to do a lot of rebuilding whereas i see Burnley keeping most of their squad together. I reckon Burnley would lose Ings, Trippier and Heaton. The rest are more than good enough for the Championship.
Also QPR are facing sanctions from the football league when they drop back in to the Championship, all depends what form those sanctions take, whether its a huge fine, transfer embargo etc. So can't really say for them until we have a clearer idea of what they'll be facing. Burnley, Think they will lose Ings, I reckon they will make the play offs next season though. Would have to go with Hull at the moment.
Sergio Aguero might fancy playing up front with Diego Costa at a packed Stamford Bridge next season. I reckon on Hull City being best equipped for a quick return to the Premiership, but I'd like to see the Barcodes relegated as we never seem to do very well against them at St James' Park.
Lately the teams relegated are more likely to end up closer to league 1 then a return to the Premier League
Depends what sanctions the football league hits them with...... A transfer embargo and a hefty fine is likely. A points deduction is possible, but I dont think they will go that far.
