i doubt it =( i think we'll go worse than middlesbrough, a 10 point deduction, possibly losing adam pearson and hardly any players, we could be looking at relagation
the problem is, newcastle and west brom could hold onto their squads but we're going to have a much worse selection of players than when we went up in 07/08 and possibly as bad if not worse than the team that only just escaped relagation the season before. players like mendy and bullard have already said that they're leaving, half the squad have no infinity with hull city football club and i have never seen less pride in a football club than what we're displayed this season- bullard laughing after missing the most important penalty in our history? what a joke. what we encountered last season was that no one wanted to buy our players, there's talk of a fire sale but after earning so much for doing so little, players have a much bigger idea of themselves and those who shouldn't be let anywhere near the top flight will settle for nothing less.
in some clubs you'd see players willing to take a pay cut but no one cares a jot about the club so that, or even giving up their pay off fee is not going to happen. after earning 20 000 plus a week, they're hardly going to not be able to eat
i'd give garcia a new contract as the championship is the division he's fantastic in and he could well keep us up, despite him being constantly slated by the hull support. i'd keep cullen, cooper and cairney (particularly cairney) as they add some much needed passion and i'd have ashbee as manager as he's said he wants to going into in the summer and after 8 odd years as skipper of the club, no one knows them better
