Villa could field a team of Irish players, they've about 8 on the reserve team, including the very exciting Samir Carruthers, who's featured in the 1st team recently. But although I did want them to stay up for that reason I now think relegation would be good for them. The rubbish (and good) senior players will leave and we might see a team of young Irish lads perform well in the Championship next season.
From looking at Newcastle and Reading's examples among others, I think sometimes it's a good thing to be relegated. Wolves certainly are a team in dire need of a fresh start. If they'd stayed up you'd have another season of Karl Henry launching reducers left right and centre and another relegation battle. Wigan have a bit of quality and a good manager and could push on as the chairman supports him. Blackburn though, not so much. Not so much at all. I wouldn't mind to see QPR stay up purely because of that 4 Year Plan documentary, probably the best thing I've seen all year.
This is a rambling post, I know.
