    As things are looking a bit tight at your end of the table, my question is, if you do go down, do you think you are strong enough to bounce straight back up at the first time of asking, or will you do as a few others like Leeds and Forest have done and take your time getting back up.

    The last 2 times we have gone down it has taken 5 and 4 seasons to get back up.
    There are 7 players out of contract at the end of the season so they are gone if we go down, a total rebuild during the summer will tell us if we are strong enough to bounce straight back up as what we've got are not good enough.

    Any idea what the average weekly wage is for Millwall?
    Would you be able to attract new players?
    Would you go for the experienced pro, who might be looking for one last payday, or a youngster who is keen and would see it as a learning curve

    Last time we had a massive clear out Kev, from memory something like 15 players out and about the same amount in so there in itself was a huge problem with too much upheaval <doh>, but at least since then JB has come in and we're run much better off the field so we'll see. <ok>

    FWIW and playing devils advocate, I'd only take relegation as a means to clear out the deadwood if we're guaranteed to come back straight up again but there's no guarantee mate and any decent players won't hang around. All in all it's too much of a can of worms to risk but at the moment that's the way we're heading and no true fan would hope for relegation as you know mate. <ok>

    One thing's for sure mate is that I'm fed up of relying on other results as there's no future in it, at least if we do go and we do bounce back at the first attempt then we'll have a season of a winning habit and looking forward to the games with optimism rather than the current situation of fearing the worst but like I say there's no guarantee mate! <doh>

    I'm fed up of relying on other results for us as well mate.
    We should be able to stay where we are thanks to us, and not relying on others to lose.

    As for going down and bouncing back, been there done that <laugh>
    Our season when we won League 1 - you remember that - that was the season Leeds got a great start and told everyone they were going to walk the league that year <whistle> I forget who did win it that year though :)

    Then we got promoted from the Championship and we had got used to that winning mentality. Sadly, this season that mentality seems to have disappeared, along with a lot of our style of play :(

    Good job it doesn't Kim, or you'd have been relegated then instead of the 22nd of this month, and we'd have been in the playoffs to really piss you wallies off <laugh>
