Where is this confidence that the side would be functioning, coherent or able to compete in the championship?
First off, Nuno would be gone. Some think this would be a bonus: maybe.
However, as we're all aware, manager churn spells the death-knell for any semblance of a plan.
Two, huge debts.
Three, most of the decent players would be off, to cover those huge debts.
Four, points penalties in the championship.
Five, Reduced crowds (but less tourists, which would be nice, TBF)
Six, the shite handling of the ST renewals.
Seven, parachute payments gobbled up to service the humungous debts.
There's a clusterfuck in coming if we do drop...and it'll be toxic.
Who's to say we won't double-drop?
