Would you want Wednesday to get relegated to league one?

I don’t know what my answer would be, because whilst I despise them, I don’t think I’d like to see them spend 30+ years outside the top flight. It comes to a point where it just sucks the life out of the cities love for football.
Maybe I’m biased because some close members of my family are pig fans, but sometimes I look across the city and it’s just a bit depressing.

BUT, we are going down, and them lot going down as well DOES soften the blow somewhat.

I hope they are relegated, and relegated again, and again, until there are no divisions left to be relegated to.

I never want them to play in the top flight again.
 
It's clear that the city can't really sustain two top sides. Therefore, I'd sooner they fall by the wayside, creating more opportunities for us, in the meantime.
How's that clear?

Two top tier sides can only be good for the city and the fan base is plenty big enough.
 
I guess I am biased tbh, my stepdad, who is much more my dad than just a stepdad, isn’t the healthiest man, he’s in his mid fifties and I don’t like the thought of him not seeing them promoted back to the top flight before he clocks off
 
I don’t really care to be honest. I just didn’t enjoy it when they thought they were on their way 🤣
 
Hope my avatar pic goes some way to showing I’m not a pig in disguise

Well both sides have not been in the top flight for approaching 30 years. There's no obvious flow of money into the city for even one of the teams to have the budget required for the top flight, let alone two sides.

Fan base counts for nothing, if it did, the pigs wouldn't have been outside the top flight in the same time that Bournemouth, Blackpool, Huddersfield, Wigan etc. have been there.

Flow of money in to the city doesn't count for anything either. Otherwise Burnley, West Brom, Wolves, Leicester etc. wouldn't be there.
 
100 % yes!!!
Simply because of the way that they run their club.
I have good mates who support them and feel sorry for them watching it all fall down. I would hate that to be us. However, the club itself has to get it's just deserts or it will just carry on slithering it's way through.

I'd check who owns each of the clubs you've mentioned. I mean flow into the city for football, not general purposes.
 
If I had the money, I'd buy them

I'd appoint really crap managers and give them a shoestring budget and I would Immediately sell any potential rising star that came through the ranks, if I left any ranks for them to come through.

My glee in watching their slow, painful demise as they dropped from league to league would know no bounds and my Schadenfreude glass would be overflowing

😁😁😁

Hardly revolutionary that, Chansiri has been doing that ever since he bought the club.

Yes mate I would want them to go down.

I have family and friends of the pork persuasion, and I've taken their shit before. Now it's my turn and I don't want that to end any time soon.

So you meant flow of money in to the club, which can only happen once per city, despite one having a Thai multi millionaire owner and one having a Saudi multi millionaire owner?

I don't think it's likely they'll ever both have Premier League type wealth owners either, but I don't accept that the City of Sheffield somehow restricts it to one. Both clubs are plenty big enough to do it if the stars aligned investment-wise.

Well I'm sorry about your Dad, that goes way beyond the team they support.
 
I want them to have at least 6 years in league one. With us having 5 in the premier league to make a generation defining gap so big it's acceptable for us to loan young kids to them.
 
My Dad is one of these that believes both clubs should be merged, or dissolved and one club should be formed because it would be one of the best supported clubs in the country.

He doesn't seem to realise that two shit clubs would become one shit club, it would still be from Sheffield at the end of the day, so failure and ordinariness will be built into its DNA, and it'll be as cheap and tacky as a zip up wardrobe.

He also doesn't understand that just because 50,000 turn up to watch two clubs it doesn't mean that 50,000 will turn up to watch one club.

And I also wonder why this is only ever mentioned by various sources when it's them who are on the brink of ruination, but when United are we can just drop dead and nobody would give a toss.
