I remember that year very well. Didn't you finish 3rd a few years prior?
Iirc much of your decline was due to severe financial mismanagement which meant you were on the brink of fiscal collapse either way.
We haven't had that problem but it's one that I think will hit us when we go down.

And my gut feeling is that we'll be down there for at least as long as you were. We'll have one shot to get it right which is this summer and January when player sales will allow us the luxury of reinvesting and rebuilding a team good enough to come straight back up.

Another member and I have crunched the numbers and the dangerous mix of revenue loss combined with stadium debt and loan covenants means that we'll have two seasons to get back again before it becomes almost impossible to invest any further in the team, and we'll then potentially be gone for decades.

The champo is puss poor ang getting worse compared to the prem. If you went down you would be back in a year. Even Wolves and Burnley are head and shoulders over the teams contesting the play off to get up.
 
I wanted Harry Kane and Bayern to get to the final but I also think the arse would have fancied Bayern a lot more than PSG so let's hope PSG piss all over that lots chips

There is a piece on the BBC about Luis Enrique. His greatest achievement at PSG has been transitioning the club away from being a collection of selfish egos into a cohesive unit who fight for each other and the badge.

That fight was obvious last night. It has entirely abandoned Real. Maybe Ancelotti had the cajones to hold it all together, but Alonso drowned in it and the same has happened to Arbeloa. The saddest thing is beyond Mbappe, Vinicius and Valverde, they don't really have anyone good enough to act all Billy big bollocks, and yet they all do.

TBH it has long been a problem at Los Ladrones

During the Galacticos Era their dressing room was a hornet's nest with the likes of Raul, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and a few others bullying managers and teammates alike

Sounds like Madrid are imploding.

Rumours the whole squad are pissed off with Mbappe.

Rudiger slapped a coach.

Valverde and Tchuoameni have apparently had two fights, the second one resulted in Valverde requiring stitches.

Initially thought it was fake rumours but it’s being peddled by one of Madrid’s biggest news aggregators, their equivalent to a Tottenham Tiers etc.

To cap things off, they’ve got an El Classico on the weekend where if Barca win, they seal the title (it’s practically theirs’ already).

Why are they pissed off with Mbappe?

The perception is that he just does what he wants on and off the pitch.
He doesn’t track back on the pitch.
Off it, he’s been off on holiday to Sardinia whilst supposedly recovering from a hamstring injury.
And he is quick to complain about teammates, results etc when it’s not going their way - which it clearly isn’t at present.

I was puzzled at the time why Kane didn't consider a move to Real.

But now it's obvious, he'd absolutely hate it there.
 
No idea why but I've built up a totally irrational hatred of Forest in recent weeks.

I hope they completely implode now and finish below us. Where they belong.
