I don’t think it is realistic, but if they had to go to the Championship, do you think there will be players who want to stay and get up again, or they just look for an other Club? Which club would even be a possibility for the biggest city stars?
Sorry for my english
It would be a mix.
Some would take reduced salary to stay and help.
Some would be loaned for a season.
Some would be sold.
The remainder would be a financial anchor on city for FFP/sustainability and would likely just be released by mutual agreement after the transfer window closes. They don’t want to play for City, City can’t afford to keep them.
