It’s simpler than that. The player you’ve already got is always the cheapest option. Levyball

Pros of Relegation:
No VAR
Cheaper STs
Don't have to host that lot down the road as champions.
New and different away games.
Hopefully we get rid of Vinai, Lange and ENIC.
Less tourists
Recall of our promising youngsters so we can get rid of some of the toxic seniors.
Cons
Although it's as corrupt as hell, the PL is the place to be.
WHU, Goons, Chavs celebrating for years to come.

Probably won't get a proper refresh if we go down either with our management and ownership. Going down just won't fix our problems, just make them ten times worse.
The team has the capability of putting us through hell today because, they always make things hard for themselves.
It was one of my grandson's birthday on Thursday, he told me, " Grandad we will win on Sunday ".
I believe him and I believe that, the team will finally dig out a result.
Whatever happens, this club needs an absolute sort out from board to player level a big summer ahead.
sadly I watch the Championship most weeks , man it is a battle every week
its not like when we went down in the 70's (yes I remember that ,we went to most games in 70's home and away)
in the 70's most games were easy, till easter when we went on bad run, needing a draw with southampton on last day so we both went up (don't think either team took a real shot that day)

The Championship is far harder than teams realise.
It’s easy playing at home to the bottom 5. Travelling away to teams who spend all season looking forward to the game (and there are 46) means only the mentally toughest teams win regularly.
Look at how long it took Sunderland and Leeds to get back and the mess teams like Wednesday, Luton, Bolton, Leicester are in.
It’s one thing trying to offload the highest earners….its another finding someone to match the wages.
Didn’t Luton have someone in League 1 on Premiership wages?
The best thing that can happen is to be 3 up after 20 minutes today.

Looking at the list of "pros" I think relegation moves us closer to being the club that I decided to follow.
It is but the overall quality is awful. Burnley had compared to us a terrible team and under Kompany dominated it like Man City with Pep in his prime. Despite all the fight of that league it couldn’t match superior tactics and skill. If De Zerbi stays and we get a few players to fit him we would have the overwhelmingly best squad with the best manager in that league. If we can’t come back then might as well fold the club.
Yeah I think we'd come straight back but fuck that. Players know what is needed today
Our first home win since December 2025.
COYFS!!!!!!!
Jeez......
Exactly. Upsetting isn’t it. We will adjust though
This is an exchange on KUMB.
Football means so much to so many people and while I of course hope hammers go down because it means we stay up but remember what it means to us all. We support these clubs and have no input or impact on their results yet means so much to us.
I suppose just posting this to remember what others are going through at 6pm

Hammer 1
If we stay up, we stay up.
If we go down, we go down.
Planet's still gonna spin, sun's still gonna rise and set, tides still gonna rise and fall.
Plenty more to be thankful for in life, so don't let today get into your head regardless of what happens and just enjoy the ride of another day on this amazing, small blue ball spinning through space.
Hammer 2
Well done - as this needs / needed saying.
Football, whether going to football with your friends, watching football in the pub with friends or at home watching it on your own, it means a lot to people - to some it's a way of life, it is their lives, it's like Religion. For some it's all they have.
During one of my many stays in hospital, this time the Royal Alexandra, Paisley, one of the Auxiliaries was telling me about a young Rangers fan who was lying in a room down the way from me... he'd tried taking his own life after his club went into administration.
Difficult to imagine, but for some following your Club becomes your life and what happens to that Club affects your life.
Which is why your post is significant.
Later on this evening, there'll be people on here or on other West Ham sites and in the London Stadium... and.. ...let us not forget over at Tottenham Hotspur whose lives, depending on how results go, are going to be affected badly and it's important that someone is there to offer them the same advice you offered us all here .... West Ham / Tottenham will continue to exist, Life will go on and will continue to have meaning. Clubs as big as ours, or as big as Rangers always bounce back eventually, it's only a matter of time.
Take care of yourselves, wherever you are.

My fear is that we will be talking about the referee or VAR after the game, because I just can't believe how blatant they have been in favouring our opponents, and even West Ham the other day with that clear handball pen that wasn't given against them.
We go down, De Zerbi is out the door tomorrow.
No VAR in the Champo...so refs will screw is even more. We'll be the big scalp for everyone.
