Presumably when they were adventuring in Milan and Arnhem they still found something to moan about?

[Albion] Would you be happy to be in the Championship again
- Thread starter Flounce
- Start date
Well it would obviously be shit if we just got relegated again.
There is little to no chance of us having a season like Sheffield United with Bloom at the top. Sheffield United are where they are because they have an uninterested owner. I've never seen a team going up despite being unable to pay their players. They almost certainly will make a tidy profit this season, despite being crap.
In fact, Sheffield United are a remarkable anomaly. They are already the worst defence the PL has ever seen (by goals per game), and almost certainly destined to be the worst defence by all metrics. They're comfortably the lowest scorers in the league. Currently the 3rd lowest points total of all time in the league.
If we went down, it just wouldn't be like that, it won't be like that next year for any other team. It would be depressing, but we'd be in a relegation battle (as per the Hughton years), not a freefall from day one.
Sorry but no.
I'm too old, too tired and despite my phenomenal hair, to depressed to go through all that again.
As much as I hate the Premier League, I somehow manage to hate breaks from it, yet the thought of the Albion playing what'll seem like 3 times a day, will have me retreating to my armchair.
What can I say - I'm complicated.

Not for me, I'm quite happy being a club which can attract good talent, is financially secure and has the potential to push for Europe
Absolutely not. Also, zero guarantee we'd go back up.
I'd prefer to see us compete game to game against the big boys, than to compete game to game with Rotherham. Can't believe anyone would want to watch a far lower standard of football for a chance to win slightly more often.
Plus, imagine wanting to go through the stress of another failed play off campaign.
The club, players and fans have put so much effort into getting to the Premier League, becoming an established Premier League team and having a really good go at Europe. It would be disappointing.
I used to look at the Championship as ‘our par level’ but Bloom, Barber and others have re-set that to the Premier League. Whilst I could do a season, maybe two in the Championship, I know we could be so much more.

Probably a bridge too far for them to get back into the PL then.

I used to feel that I wouldn't mind too much if we went down.
That was before we had the type of talent that has passed through our squad over the past 4 seasons.
Since then the gap between 15th in the Prem and top 6 of Championship has increased dramatically.
Failure to capitalise on the work of Tony, PB, Potter, De Zerbi et al., would be a crime.
We have everything in place to stay in the top division for many more seasons yet.
Complacency is the only risk.

Wasn't the reason the Seagull on the club badge was turned around, so to look forward and not backwards

especially if the Worthing fans taunt us as we face a further relegation with “Peacehaven on a Tuesday night…

Nope I would not be happy.Maybe YOU’D walk away?I am sure quite a few would
Nope I would not enjoy the championship, it is easier to get relegated from than promoted.
Nope I would not walk away.
Those that walk away, can keep walking until they get to feckoffsville and keep going until they reach nevercomebacksville.
What makes you so sure we'd be competing for a title? 19 out of the 24 Championship teams are relegated PL teams that didn't get promoted. This season, only mega-budget, PSR-busting Leicester are nailed on to be promoted.
We're not getting relegated any time soon.
But a season or two in the Championship would be quite enjoyable for me. Different away days, winning more than we lose, plenty of games without needing to break the bank to go to Rome or Amsterdam.
TB and PBOBE would hate it though. A total money pit.

DO you think that Sheff United fans would rather they didn't have this season.
Personally I very much doubt it.
