When you have players who earn a life times wages in 6 months the thought of putting food on the table is not something they worry about so keeping their job is not important. They have no emotional ties to the area, and they also know they are a commodity to be bought and sold. So when the chips are down they have nothing to lose. How would it all be if the FA said every relegated teams players have to stay with the club ( if wanted) until the parachute payments are gone. My guess is you would see some passion on show then.A championship rebuild will cost a lot more than staying and rebuilding in the premiership.
Fabianski, Gylfi, Olsson, Narsingh, Llorente, Carroll and Cork will find new teams in the PL/abroad.
The rest of our defenders are not good enough, the rest of our midfielders are not good enough, wingers are not good enough and as for Baston the least said the better.
We need a brand new 25 man squad for the championship![]()


Also when I said lower leagues I was thinking Championship not any lower. Aldershot, Workington Town I still have nightmares.
