The problem is has someone reminded me we have a loan to repay and relegation will mean the loss of the Sky revenue and reduced home and away support. I wonder how much our player budget for this season compares with last. It’s a gamble the club have taken even more so than their first season when we released a large number of players because we had the play offs which allowed us to bring in several players late. If they are incorrect then it is the supporters who suffer.

Think we got to released 8 or 9 of these players ,to make us a good championship team .Might have to wait a season

If relegated all players become free agents.

Over the last few year we have S L players that could get into any S L team Think now a few of our best players are squad players at the best

Exactly this, those who were able to get into any other SL squad over the past few years now are in other squads, and we're left with a starting lineup of players who would spend most of their time out on dual reg in most other clubs

I'm not saying this season was predictable, but it has been pretty obvious from the start that it was only heading in one direction

Urban myth depends on the contract terms. Most will have a release clause if they get picked up

The way to change it is by the club changing, and instead of signing mediocre players and low cost coaches, actually investing in the squad and making them competitive and an enjoyable match day experience.

Don't blame fans who spend their hard earned money on the club for being pessimistic when the club have given them nothing to be optimistic about

Sad to say, but your quite right EB.

Money certainly doesnt guarantee success, but the gradual scrimping on the squad for about 4 seasons has come to this.

I think some fans who continue to defend what is getting dished up need to take their head out of the sand

Correct. we have got two players and maybe a couple of others who have contracts for next season irrespective of the league. They are Gale and Lino. I also think Griffin may have a similar deal. Good news is ,we can finally ditch Lineham.

It's hard because everyone wants what they think is best for the club - but I've taken some serious abuse from many posters on here this season for something which has been plainly obvious to all but the most rose tinted fans

Anyway - I've seen some people say that at least we'll have the best stadium in the championship, so here's a list of stadiums I think might be better than ours at present.

In no particular order:
Widnes
York
Halifax
London
Toulouse
