How Bad Would Relegation Be?

[CAMiller]

History over the last 20 years shows us that League 1 (Division 3) is a place we don't stay very long, just 4 seasons there compared to 7 in the Championship and 9 in League 2. Admittedly the two seasons on the way down were tainted with administration/financial issues and the two single seasons on the way up were astonishing to say the least and having done it once under RM nobody I believe expected it under SE. All in all I'd say it's a place we need to avoid if at all possible.

What would be the point in going down again? Surely the effort would then be to get back up to the Championship again and if we managed it what then? Would we want to go back down again. If we dont want to be in the Championship then there is no incentive to compete in L1. Which then begs the question do we want a football club at all.

Sport is about competing and striving otherwise there is no point in any of it
