Where will we be if Tan is still the owner and Riza is still the manager?

Right now it looks like a a struggle for us to stay up, but will we do it?

If we do stay up, where will we be in the Championship?

If we go down, where will we be in League One?

Only gives the option to select one, but I want to give two answers depending on if we stay up.

If we stay up, then it will be another relegation fight.

If we go down, we will lose players and ultimately replace them with free L1 players on free transfers so mid table L1, where I’m afraid it will take years to get back up.

For the record, I voted mid table in League One.

That's why Tan needs to go.

That's the issue which you've pointed out, having one year in League One as consolidation is not the answer - look at Bolton.

Even going down to League One with no investment is dangerous.

Rotherham were relegated from the Championship last season and are in 17th place in League One.

It is not an easy league to get out of - we could be stuck there for years.

I don't think Tan will give Riza any money in Jan so, without an additional striker, our luck will run out this season - we simply won't score enough goals to stay up.

1 year from now I'm going mid table in league 1...but to put a positive spin on it, we'll finish in the top 6 by the end of next season. We won't win promotion though coz Tan will play himself in goals in the play-off final. He'll run the length of the field for every one of our corners and the opposition will hit us on the break every time, beating us 7 nil!

I agree Tan won't give Riza any money and let's be truthful we are not good at spending it wisely anyway.

This is the year we go down, and we deserve to, such is the intent of the club. I do believe there are so many senior pro's that we can jettison as their contracts are expiring it wouldn't take much to kick start the rebuild.

I think top 6 L1 is my call.

Still no idea if I fancy another season though

What good would that be if it was 199 million or less?

I went for exactly where we are now, relegation battle in the Championship but that's more in hope than anything else.

At the moment it looks like a relegation battle until the end of the season. The bottom half of the table has sides who are not particularly good and are beatable. Strengthening in January may be good enough to keep us up and so I think we will avoid relegation. However there doesn’t seem to be any appetite to develop a strong squad and so another relegation battle this time next year is the likely outcome.
I wish otherwise.
