I hope for Jimmy and Brad's sake that Mika and/or Petrovic happen because twitter will not be kind if it doesn't. I know things change and they shouldn't be held to blame but twitter doesn't think rationally like that :D

Arguably anyone rational wouldn’t put themselves out there like this

Would Chris Rigg prefer to play 10/15 PL games ...

... or go on loan to a Championship club, like Southampton, challenging for the top two?

I think that question will be asked at some point.

Would he come back with another year's experience or find it insulting and want away?

Rigg will want to be part of this 100%. Imagine working your bollox off to help your team to the Premier league only to be bounced back down to the championship. Very demotivating.

He’ll make 25+ PL appearances for us next season, imo

I don’t think it’s insulting at all personally, he was a passenger for certainly the final 5 months of the season but arguably a few earlier too. He’s not good enough to start in the PL right now so it’s whether or not he’d rather be a regular in good champ team who are expecting promotion or play a bit part here which realistically will be 20 minute cameos. Both offer great experience for the lad but I think he’ll he kept here to show what he can do on the big stage, if he looks impressive in those cameos with less pressure on him his value only increases. If he did go to someone like a Southampton and played in a dominant team every week and won promotion it wouldn’t be the end of the world at all.

Obviously I was elated when we won promotion, but my thinking was at least we'll have loads of money if/when we go down.
Along with a lot of others, I'm now thinking we could actually make a fking good fist of this and surprise everyone.
It's the feeling I got when we got thumped off Chelsea in our first game back in the prem in 99/2000, but then ended up 2nd at Xmas.

Don't think Mika will be coming. A striker signing completely out of left field is more likely.
