They better get promoted immediately should they be relegated at
the end of the season. However, i think players like Robert
Green,Tevez, Ferdinand, Reo-Coker, Dean Ashton will probably not
want to spend a season in the second top flight, similar to the
case of Zambrotta, Thruam, Ibrahimovic, Vieria, Cannavaro and
Emerson who left Juve after they were relegated. While some of the
West Ham players above I mentioned did not play well this season,
remember that Ashton, Reo-Coker and Ferdinand were inspirational
for them last season, while Green and Tevez were star players at
their old clubs. If they leave, West Ham will be left with a bunch
of players like Mark Noble, who although are willing to fight for
the club, is not experienced enough at all.
Furthermore, how much is the chairman going 2 put for West Ham next
season? Attendance will definitely fall sharpely, merchandise,
season tickets and match day ticket sales will drop too,
advertisers may not pay as much for a CCC club. And they are going
2 lose tons of money as the EPL clubs are going to get richer next
season. Which chairman, who just steps in and has given so much
money for the manager to spend during the Janauary transfer window
only 2 get relegated at the end, is willing 2 put up even more
money to cover the losses that will be incurred? Players will
definitely have 2 be sold to cover for the shortfall.
No matter what, West Ham is a club too good for the CCC, but not
good enough for the EPL. That's the sad fact of today
