Scoobysaint Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Think i would prefer Wolves to West Ham, purely because I don't think they'll go straight back up or certainly be as strong contenders. Agree with Blackpool and Wigan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Samuel Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 It would be funny to have Holloway back at St Marys and sing "Premiership you're having a laugh" to him again, after his post match interview in January he has it coming to him. I've never been to West Ham, so that would be a top priority away day, got to tick Upton Park off the list before they move. after And wouldn't mind going to Wolves again, I remember they had a really good cider there. I don't usually have a drink at half time, but last time there we were 3-0 down after 20 minutes, so had to get on it, also enjoyed teasing the ball boy in front of us, we nicknamed him "naughty" as he was sitting on what looked like a naughty step, good memories of an otherwise depressing away day.

Saint Garrett Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 I think Wolves would be the most equipped to keep their squad together and go straight up again.

Minsk Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Wigan and Blackpool for sure, undecided on the third. Would love to see Avran get back to back relegations from the prem, but think West Ham would have a better squad than Wolves should they go down.

SaintAndy14 Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 I agree with the OP! Blackpool - don't like Holloway and don't reckon they'd do anything if they came straight back down, especially with a massive squad of average players Wigan - will lose some stronger players and also don't think they will do much in their three-quarter empty stadium! West Ham - will be stronger than the other two but should be a good away day which a lot of us can get to. Also good to see Avram take them down!

SuperMikey Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Wigan have been punching above their weight for a while. West Ham have been seriously mismanaged over the last few years, and Gold & Sullivan need a wake-up call to hire a GOOD manager as opposed to Grunt. Blackpool shouldn't have been in the Prem in the first place. Wolves have got a very good squad for a team in the relegation zone, and Mick McCarthy is a great manager. They will stay up.

Got to agree with blackpool just to sing "Ian, youre a c*nt, ian ian youre a c*nt" after his post match comments in the cup. But part of me keeps thinking that they have really tried to play some decent football in the prem this season and have beaten some very good sides in the process. Holloway is a gobby yokel tosser, but his team have gone about their business the right way this season imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaside Saint 2 Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 West Ham will be the weakest of the three, they're still £100 million in debt, that's just about sustainable in the PL, but not in the NPC. They'll lose all their good players and sack Grant, they'll be in complete disarray. Blackpool would be the team I'd fear facing if they get relegated, say what you like about Holloway the man, as a manager he's done a great job, and barring Charlie Adam I imagine they would keep the core of their squad together. They're also financially far more stable than most PL & NPC clubs meaning they could cope with the financial cost of relegation a lot better than West Ham, Wolves or Blackburn.

WIgan are where they are because one loaded fella pumped a load of cash in. Their crowds are embarassing, 14-15k and about 200 away from home.

A town and club like that doesn't deserve premier league football, a truely pointless club. History aside, they're both Lancashire teams trying to carve out a fanbase in an area extremely heavily populated with League clubs, who left their rough old-school grounds to play in new, comfortable, but ultimately bland half-empty stadiums. Whilst it's unfair that their resources come mainly from a single man rather than gate money, it's the laissez-fair structure of football that should be challenged, not individual clubs.

Lighthouse Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 I'd like to come down: West Ham - Decent away day fairly close by and I think they would struggle with their board issues etc. Wigan - Pointless club. Once the overpaid foreign mercenaries all p*ss off they will be a fairly average NpC outfit Blackpool - Just to wind 'Olly' up and it'd be a cracking weekend away. Don't want Blackburn - The North is dark and scary. Brum - Mcleish is a good manager and will have them well organised. Wolves - As above with MM.

Agree with Blackpool and Wigan though. Wolves would be strong if they are in the Championship next season. They'd keep hold of more of their first team compared with the mass exodus that will happen at West Ham. I don't think Wolves will go down because of their very good win today against a West Brom side who have been very good. I can see Wolves doing well over the next two games and doing enough. For me it will be West Ham, Wigan and Blackpool. Not really sticking my neck out but I can't see anyone else doing down now. I can see Wigan doing well next season and being up there but the Championship has thrown up a few surprises over the last few seasons. I think Boro will be the team to beat next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 (edited) West Ham - for the atmospheres generated at our place and theirs. also look forward to seeing them and Millwall tear pieces out of each other. Wigan- club built on rich man's vision and nothing else. the mercennaries will soon find sunnier climes and vistas in Bolton or somewhere. also a new ground. Blacburn - maybe put in a cheeky bid for christopher samba who is jaidi's one and only natural successor -from the same sam alladyce school of brick sh*thouses. Probably have the most out of the johnny-come-lately northern clubs to bounce back up, so wouldn't mind Blackpool, a club that with parachute payment or no parachute payment will sink without a trace if it gets relegated.

pap Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 Pies at Wigan are supposed to be a highlight The notion that people in Wigan are particularly fond of pies is a myth, perpetuated in part by Wiganers who don't want you to know the true origins of the term. Essentially, it goes back to the days of industrial action in the pits. During industrial disputes, miners at the Wigan pits were notorious for buggering off back to work early. Hence, they were labelled "humble pie" eaters by the neighbouring pit towns, which is where the term comes from. One of my Uni mates was a Wiganer who would make great capital out of the "Wigan loves pies" connection whenever we passed a Sayers. I pulled him up on it, and he admitted that he had been feigning love of meat and potato pies for four years to save the honour of his town. In short, Wigan knows about as much about real pies as anyone else, and considerably less than say, Leeds, who really love their pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 Wigan: They're in huge debt already and relegation would mean they would have to consolidate, rather than throw money at a promotion push. West Ham: as above, they are totally screwed financially if they go down, Sullivan & Gold talking about bailing them out to the tune of £40M. Blackpool: Wolves seem to have a bit of money behind them (stadium upgrades in planning) whereas Blackpool would "only" have parachute payments to fall back on.
