you are right, teams ultimately find the lever they should be, look at Yeovil, a season in the championship and then the slide back down, thy are a good nat league team, when they slide down to Nat South last year, you knew they would bounce back up this season ( though having a wobble at the mo )
mid Champ league place for us, it could be worse, the occasional go at the play-offs, thats fine aswell
