then look at the number of teams that have come bak stronger from a spell in 3rd division and gone through the chmpionships to the top - Manchester City, Aston Villa, Southampton, leeds, Forest (almost), Norwich a couple of times, Wolves, Sheffield United, Fulham - a lot of teams dropped back, rebuilt and were stronger for it.

Anyway its better to clutch at straws than sit in foolish hope that we can cling on to championship status and go down next year instead. I dont see any investment coming in that will allow us to buy the right players. So lets embrace our fate and not grieve what might have been.
