Maybe a bit controversial (and probably not for now) but we can’t keep de Zerbi if we go down. Need to get Scott Parker in who has brought teams up before, knows the club and knows what it takes. Managerial experience of being in that division is key. None of the club have a clue what it’s like being in that division so we need a leader who does.

Experience isn't that important. The best Championship teams in recent times have been Kompanys Burnley, Marescas Leicester, Silvas Fulham, Nunos Wolves, Benitez Newcastle.
None of those managers had Championship experience. If we can keep De Zerbi then his football would suit the division pretty well, especially since we'd be technically the best side in it and the "cup final" for most clubs.
They were also skint. I don't think we'll be in for the Josh Onomah's of this world if we go down.
Half an hour of Son every game on that left wing or upfront is infinitely better than what we’ve put up there this season.
His experience would help too. Sure his legs have gone somewhat but he wouldn’t have been playing 90 minutes every week. There was a reason Ange gave him so much time in the EL Final and it wasn’t to be early years Sonny.
He would have stayed too. It was the club who drove him out.
Done and dusted
It will be better to watch too. However I think, two things, Parker is more of a sure thing to bring us straight back up, and two, I’m not convinced DZ is staying to manage us in that division.
I'd be okay with Parker as long as he's let go after promotion is confirmed!
We're not skint but we're entirely shit at squad building and have been for 10 years.
If it was simply down to money we wouldn't be in this situation now. I don't see any reason that ineptitude won't continue in the championship.
That’s a shocking squad
I dont think that squad even makes playoff spots.
I think a lot of the fanbase are severely downplaying the quality in the Championship. It will be tougher than many expect.
Those
Dont use the last few seasons as the benchmark as those teams went down because they already had Championship players. Use Villa. They went down and sold/loaned/released 16 players. We have a squad full of full internationals on big money or who are young and can't afford a season in a second tier league if they want to progress. Without saying "they are under contract" you tell me why Gray, Bergvall, Sarr etc. Will be happy to play in the Championship.
I’ve said already I can’t see de zerbi being here next season in the championship , I’d keep an eye out on the Eddie Howe situation , yes it’s a big backward step but he wouid be perfect for us , knows the championship and is a proven prem manager .
No offence but Gray , Bergval and Sarr don’t look like premier league players to me .
I don't disagree but there will be top flight teams from Europe's top leagues ready to buy them.

They will be snapped up as soon as we get confirmation of relegation. No doubt about it.
Biggest issue we've faced this season, prem only stats and more than 20 appearances.
Last season.
Solanke Goals 9 assists 3
Maddison Goals 9 assists 7
Son Goals 7 assists 9
Kulusevski goals 7 assists 4
Johnson goals 11 assists 3
This season.
Richarlison goals 9 assists 3
Muani goals 1 assists 1
Tel goals 3 assists 0
Odobert goals 0 assists 2
Simons goals 1 assists 4
Kudus goals 2 assists 5
Huge change over in 1 season and complete lack of chemistry.

Just retaining the armband would have made a difference too IMHO rather than appointing the undeserving moron that inherited it!

Probably right, and in losing Son we lost someone who really cared.
I’m not romanticising anything. I’m looking at where they are now and where we are headed (the Championship).
I’m not willing not to happen. We are most likely going down irrespective of what any of us here think, so I’m looking at what I consider the best possible scenario if the most likely outcome from this season transpires.
The crazy thing about that list.
We willingly sold Son and Johnson.
Named Maddison and Kulusevski in our 25 man squad. Zero minutes played between them.
Solanke currently our 19th most used player in the league. We knew he was injured too.
Talk about shooting yourselves in the foot.
We shot both our feet then thought we might as well just shoot both our kneecaps too while we are shooting stuff.
