Yes your right: we better hadBut Top Deck in football there is never a free hit, stand still or go further backwards, which I believe we have, kills you in football, the likes of the mighty Stoke, Bitter twats, Burnley, Watford,Bournemouth, they are all leaving us further behind, thats why there is no free hits.
Anyway I'm sure we'll get back up within the next 20 years. No problem.
Dekuip, you are right this has always happened, but I think the big change is the riches involved in just being in the prem, a properly run club with those finances, that they could get nowhere near generating from other sources make them alot more secure and harder to catch if you are out of the league for to long.
