Worse case scenario we stay in the championship for another season. A season without Vik and a few others. Huddersfield finished third last season and are now in a relegation battle in the championship. Nottingham are in the premiership and are also threatened by relegation. I know what position I would prefer Coventry to be in.I always worried about getting promoted too soon but no, just take the money and run, rebuild and try again
That's assuming we don't get promoted...If you put £10 on at 20-1 3 weeks ago, you’d still be losing £10 at the end of the season
I wish I had your optimismI disagree, I think our style suits the PL. If we add some quality and keep the big 3 there's no reason why we can't do a Fulham. Top half ..... easy

This was said about Barnsley at the start of this season….I hope you're right and we don't do a Huddersfield or Barnsley
I think you're saying you'd get a semi in the first pummelling?What’s everyone’s thoughts if we do make the playoffs then get a pummelling in the first semi. I still think it would be a great achievement.
Technically, Huddersfield didn't score a goal in their final 5 games in 2016/17 (the 1-1 draw with Sheff Wed was via an own goal) & got promoted with a negative goal difference. Incredible.

That would be a great way to do it ,go up followed be relaxation with financial security parachute payments and robins to return us back up with added security of better players.I think we’d need a whole new team really, none of the backup players at ST, AM or CM are close. I’d like to see us sign top quality young players, almost like Burnley have in the Championship. I’d much rather come straight back down after repeated spankings but financially secure and with a solid squad of talent than skint and a wage bill full of nobodies on 80k a week.

I would just temper things by saying, although other results having been very much going our way of late, they are very unlikely to continue to do so. I can foresee many of our main rivals bagging wins over the weekend (Millwall, Sunderland, Blackburn)
I one I do feel pretty confident about is WBA v Norwich. I think Norwich will get something there. They had a couple of awful defeats against Middlesbrough and Swansea lately, but I do still think they can be a fantastic side on their day.
I dismissed Watford previously, because they quite often seem to be a club in turmoil and have already had 3 managers this season. Plus they have nothing to play for, Norwich still do, albeit, it being a very slim chance.
Whole new team? If we did go up there would be no chance of holding on to Vic,Gus and Sheaf then?We would still have O'hare and I think the way Eccles is improving will be a great player in future.Though you might not think so judging by some of the keeping I've seen in there lately Ben would not look out of place.Any players you sign could have a clause allowing them to leave if things turned sour.Take a look at the 3 who have gone up and I think at least 2 out of 3 will survive.Please think positive.I think we’d need a whole new team really, none of the backup players at ST, AM or CM are close.

There's no way we'd buy 14 playersI think we’ve got four players who could make the step up: Vik, Cal, Gus and Sheaf. We need 18 for a matchday squad so yeah, at least 14 players needed if we go up, even if we are filling the rest out with others.
Has that not been the case this season. Have faith in Robin's he moves mountains, accepting that the wider squad might not be up to much at that level.

Well yeh exactly my point reallyHas that not been the case this season. Have faith in Robin's he moves mountains
Sometimes teams take the shackles off. Stoke had nothing to play for when they hammered us TBF.
We really need Blackpool and/or Watford to pick up points this weekend ideally. I think WBA are out of it TBH.
We might well sign a lot of players, especially as quite a few are out of contract anyway, but I think that would be split into half a dozen or so first team players on significant fees and wages and the rest being loans and promising youngsters. Then having the likes of Allen, Palmer and Eccles padding the squad out as well.I think we’ve got four players who could make the step up: Vik, Cal, Gus and Sheaf. We need 18 for a matchday squad so yeah, at least 14 players needed if we go up, even if we are filling the rest out with others.
Jury's out on O'Hare after injury too, and none of them have top flight experience so until we or they get there, we don't know.I think we’ve got four players who could make the step up: Vik, Cal, Gus and Sheaf.

Never seen a team self-destruct on multiple occasions as Blackpool
