Relegation is devastating to a club, the unseen affect is with the employees, Sunderland I remember laid off 160 people employed directly and support staff.
Just because someone wants to see us play
Luton at 3pm on a Saturday is not a positive.

I agree with what you say but more matches at 3pm on a Saturday and easier access to tickets is a positive to many people.

Do you recall when we were promoted that there were a large number of people on this forum who said that they would rather we had stayed in the Championship.

I was not one of them as I would much rather watch my team play Liverpool and Manchester City than lower division teams but I can understand their point of view

A lot of people are arguing that they prefer the excitement of competitive football one tier down rather than mid-table obscurity. When have we really achieved that, we only ever get to 11th or 12th after a lucky run from mid-March onwards?

We thought we'd actually done it by the middle of the season this time, but not to be. So the rest of our season is going to have excitement, albeit of the desperation kind.

but heres the pickle...
Say you are correct & all great winning regular playing Barnsley,wall,charlton etc etc.
What do you aspire to?
coming back to the Prem to start it all over again.
(or worse still winning games in league 1 after dropping twice)
The way Roy sets up is fine Away but a bloody disgrace at home and as for signings, what young player in their right mind would want to come to us at present unless its for the dollar (why bowen went to wham)
Roy needs to target certain games fron now on in & treat em like a cup final to get those last 7-10 points required.
Then fresh start next season with a younger manager(dont ask me who / the Brentford chap?)

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

We need this regardless tbf bud, whether it's in the PL or Championship as we can't carry on as we have been.
And agreed, Roy needs to target certain games and go all out to get a result but as a club we also need to target our future as spunking money up the wall on an out of kilter wage bill obviously isn't the way.
We need a workable plan and we need to stick to it.

Buy Litecoin.

Go on stokes forum and ask their fans.

10 years in the top flight and now they're following the Sunderland route.

Better fans home and away easier tickets and back to Saturday afternoon maybe. But you can't assume more goals and greater success
