I'd like to think if we went down whilst winning the FA Cup which wouldn't be mismanaged to the extent Wigan were. Also we've got a way bigger base than Wigan to build pff along with history so I'm not sure it's a particularly fair comparison.
like the last time we got relegated from the premier league.
Again different people, different times. Look at the championship now, the relegated teams are all in the top 3. No guarantees obviously but we'd go in as favourites.
Winning a cup would be a once in a generation opportunity.
Watford Norwich WBA all fairly recently relegated and struggling to get back. i can’t ever remember all three relegated teams getting straight back. This season it could happen but only two go up automatically and the play offs can be a lottery. As you say nothing guaranteed but i also remember Sunderland having consecutive relegations fairly recently. For me priority has got to be playing in the premier league. Keep expanding the fan base season on season, gradual improvement and get the ground up to premier league standard
I think this year's crop of teams is a better comparison than those. They all had individual issues.
Regardless though, what's the end game of the above?Finishing 10th every year? Eventually winning a trophy?
