City & United final PL positions scenario

[gray740]

Them going down on the final day of the season in the 94th minute would be a thing of beauty .

 

[bernard o'silver]

If city where to finish mid table and win. Nothing but it means Utd get relegated would you take it.

We've been here before 73/74

 

[GX Blue]

Like many have already said, usually no. I’m not bothered about them when we are flying.

But this season when we won’t win anything anyway, I’d gladly finish 17th if they were to go down.

 

[M Gaudino]

absolutely. we are probably only 30% to make the champions league places anyway and after that I couldnt give a fuck

we’re out the league cup and theres no chance we’re winning the european cup this season

you’re asking me to trade the rare possibility of an FA cup win for United going down and being in a whole heap of financial trouble? the sponsorship deals would be invalid or much reduced as would the plummeting tv revenue.

would make them massively loss making in the championship. Cash flow might even be an issue if their players don't have relegation clauses in their contracts so the salary obligations could lead to administration.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Yeah id 100% take that. Without a doubt or a second thought

 

[eastmanc]

Too fucking righ

I don't care about where they finish, as long as we finish above them. They are irrelevant to me.

 

[eastmanc]

These are my thoughts too. Think they’d romp the Championship and would have momentum when they came back, fuelled no doubt by the media. If they went down for a season, which is the most likely outcome, it would do them a favour and their fans would actually enjoy the experience.

I think I’d rather they stayed in PL purgatory.

I second that. Those off us that can remember them being relegated in 74 also remember them pissing the second division and coming back a lot stronger than before.

 

[eastmanc]

The FOC's amongst us will clearly remember that after being relegated to the then second division, the media wankfest was insane when the rags started to win a few games
Now we have the interweb, if it happened again the world would be flooded with cum, so I'm more than happy for them to continue struggling to achieve mediocrity in the prem

Very graphic but I know what you mean.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

I second that. Those off us that can remember them being relegated in 74 also remember them pissing the second division and coming back a lot stronger than before.

Then they got beat by Southampton in the FA Cup Final. Glory Days!

 

[eastmanc]

Then they got best by Southampton in the FA Cup Final. Glory Days!

Good old Bobby Stokes.
