Easy to say when I'm not in that situation but I can't imagine battling to go up and then choosing to go back down again.
It is bizarre MT but then again football is a bizarre industry. In reality Smith and Ihiekwe might not want to leave in an ideal world but needs must.One last chance of a big 3 year deal is all they have left.With all due respect it is highly likely that they will never earn those kinds of sums again and they will only be in their mid 30's by then. They won't be sitting as pundits on TV because no one has ever heard of them!
