Fighting a relegation battle in the Championship if we keep OGS in charge :bluescarf: :old: :bluescarf:

I dont think so. I think we will be fighting for a play off place with a squad of hungry players who just want to get back in the Premiership and have another (more professional) crack at it. We might even be blue :D

If we're back in blue with a new owner I wouldn't care where we are.

We will not be no.

I think Ole will cope quite well, the attraction for players to work under him and I can't wait for his style of play to finally click which will only work when he gets his own squad and time in the summer.

Hopefully he convinces Maynard, Mason, Ralls and Brayford to stay. More game time for Daelhi to develop and hopefully bit less pressure in the Championship so he be confident to show the real him.

Whittingham hopefully will stick with us because his experience is vital and being back in the Championship will be good for him in ways.

Kadeem Harris possibly an option along with Healey if Ole likes what he sees.

Just hope it all pans out because the possible squad is still strong.

Once he has got rid of Malkys garbage, got his own players in and sticks to a style of play, which I'm sure he will once Malkys garbage has gone, we will be fighting for promotion no doubt. I have seen enough from ole against teams like spurs/Everton away to believe we will do great once Malkys junk has been sold off. Along with Zaha which I'm sure ole now sees was a mistake, he put is faith in a talented youngster that has let ole down.

I agree with you about our possible squad next season. Even if we have to sell 6-7 of our key players, we will still have the likes of Mason, Maynard, Ralls, Harris, Cowie, Gunnarsson, Eikrem, Daehli, Kim, Hudson, Connolly, Lewis, Healey etc to step in.

However, if Ole is still in charge, I think we will struggle. We will simply be disorganised, never have a settled team and won't have the fighting, together spirit to grind out the required results back in the Championship under Ole I don't think. Who would have thought Wolves would have had back to back relegations with the team they still had in the Championship with the likes of Roger Johnson, Karl Henry, Kevin Doyle and Ebanks-Blake in their team? That Wolves team on paper looked a top Championship team to me, but they got relegated down to League 1. The same could also happen to us, particularly as smaller teams will undoubtedly raise their game against us.

Still good age range and I think Ole just wanted to mix it up to see what works best. Also I don't think people have too kinto account that we have had injuries and he isn't dropping players for the sake of it.

I have no doubt with the players he can work with them and bring his own in. A pre season is always key for a manager. Say what you want but it is not fair to judge him so quickly and suddenly. I want to see what he does with proper time and with the funds he has.

Any team can go up, and any team can go down in the championship, whatever manager or players are involved. Look at QPR for example, all that money and it doesn't look like they will get automatic, if go up atall. Personally I hope QPR do go up, as I think they will be stronger next season, and it will make it harder for us. Until Ole has had a pre-season and his own players brought in, it's impossible to say how he will do. Right now he's playing with utter garbage players, no squad depth and not a decent goal scorer.

Once Ole raises some cash from the sales of caulker/Medel and possibly 1 more player, I think we will see him work wonders. Look at Janaury, he done well with just 6 mil, signing 7 players, of whom only Zaha IMO has let the team down. Ole put to much trust in this jumped up prick, and he has just let ole down, waste of space.

Won't really no until the summer transfer window shuts. but if we manage to keep the core of our squad and add a few players then I think we will be right up there. All depends if tan wants to push for promotion or cut his loses and order a mass cull of players to recoups some of his money
