I always like to think what would happen if a huge club dropped to the National League. It's worse than relegation for players because the Championship is not that bad, some players jet off but some will stay to help fight back. If City or Chelsea, hypothetically were to drop down what would they do? Would Foden or James stay at their respective clubs to stat pad in the National League? Would the entire squad have a clear out and they'd use some PL2/U21 kids in the league? It's fascinating to think about.

Both ours and city's academy is very strong as well so I'd imagine other PL and Championship clubs would sweep up a lot of our young players as well. End up fielding the under 8s
