I know this is a wum thread but while it’s obviously still hard to win the title or even get top 4 as we’ve found out, we will never go down as long as football stays the same. Why? Simple. We have a lot of money. Even if there is the slighest threat of relegation come January, the Glazers will panic and pour £300m into transfer fees and wages on superstars to get us out of trouble, sack the manager and give a superstar one like Allegri £400,000 a week. The alternative would be selling their cash cow, which the pricks unfortunately won’t do. Also, let’s be honest, the PL wouldn’t want a megaclub like us to go down. How much money would they and the other teams lose from television revenue, Sky Sports etc. Thus, the refs and VAR will see to that.
In short, we will not be going down for the foreseeable future.
