mid Champ league place for us, it could be worse, the occasional go at the play-offs, thats fine aswell
Yep you get those like Brentford and Luton who have been very well run who get to the very top which is brilliant. But they won't stick around there.

Same as Derby Sunderland Leeds Sheffield Wednesday. All went down to league 1 but all back stronger.

I think a lot of our anxieties around relegation are would we actually come back? It's interesting that sides like Ipswich Luton swansea Sunderland Brentford Bournemouth over the years have formed a new style in leagues 1 and 2 and taken that forward to the Premier league. You can't really find a new style in the Championship.

I feel we are like Stoke and Birmingham now in that we are kind of stuck in the Championship. Too afraid to try anything different so bumbling along is safest option.

Relegation could reignite the club, could bring some youngsters in doing well and some fun promotion campaigns (let's be honest if things continue relegation is still coming) but the fear is we have another 20 years being unable to get out and could even slide again.

Derby and Sunderland fans may have felt the same but it always felt inevitable they'd he back stronger. Not sure can say the same for us.
