If brum get relegated, would he be the first player in history to be promoted one season and then relegated from the same division the following season?

Unless DHL are delivering them.
His technique was awful and there is no doubt he was to blame for that goal IMO.
However, completely agree, it wasn’t that game or DS that cost us the title, if anything he contributed more than most to us going up......
I really don’t like the anti-Stockdale feeling or satisfaction at his apparent demise. For me the saves against Sheffield Wed, make him near legendary status for us.....

What odd logic. I suppose Solly March won us promotion then, regardless of all the previous results last season. We were leading 1-0 and March made the game safe from a routine goal. We won the game and got promoted.

As statements of mathematical fact based around a snapshot of time, these statements are I guess true...

If we're going down the logical route it would be more accurate to say Butterfield won us promotion when he scored for Derby in the late kick-off.

Or the referee when he blew the whistle in that game...

Stockdale was an outstanding player for us.
Every bit as responsible for promotion as Knockaert, Muzza, Dunk, Duffy or Bruno.
Stockdale had let his contract run down and may have been looking for a decent deal after promotion.
It would seem to be the case, that the club had identified a better target and couldn't give DS what he wanted from his new contract.
Seemingly quite ruthless by the club... but it's a fairly cut-throat business.
I take no pleasure in seeing DS stuck at the bottom of the championship.
It must be pretty painful for him personally. He is the last player, I would wish that on.
Hopefully things will turn round for him

My thoughts exactly.
If he's 'only' on £10k/week, that's half a million a year. Going on average pay, it would take someone 20 years to earn that.

No, I very much do not.
It amused me that his name was even being mentioned. I know it wasn't you who originally mentioned it.

At that moment in time if Stockdale had saved the routine shot then we would have won the title! Fact!

They were down to 10 men and other than Pocognoli who tried his best to be their extra man at times, were awful and never looked like scoring.
The team as a whole were responsible for that unnecessarily nervous last 20 mins, seemingly inviting pressure on with a man advantage. However, it was our last chance to take the title and both Baldock and Stockdale have to take responsbility more than any for what transpired. A sitter missed and a routine save fumbled. We were pissed at Norwich and didn't turn up for Bristol which should have been the game we clinched it but unfortunately most will just remember the inexplicable events at villa.

Like I say odd logic. Won't see me and thousands of others pointing the finger of blame on one player for one incident over the course of a season. Why should Stockdale and Baldock take more responsibility for those who were pissed before Norwich or too complacent against Bristol City or in the wrong formation against Huddersfield or unlucky against Newcastle or garbage against Cardiff etc?

The fact is the fumble conceded a goal in the last 3 minutes of the season. If he had saved it, like on countless times throughout the season, then we would have won the championship. Whatever transpired before hand during the season had got us to that point. If he had saved it, which he should have, then no one would have remembered it but the consequence of that fumble 3 minutes from the end of the season resulted in gifting the title to Newcastle. It was equivilant to a 'Smith must score' moment in our history. It is a team game but occasionally individual errors prove costly. Fortunately it only cost us the title and not promotion and we've all moved on to bigger and better things...except David.
Blessing in disguise really.
With him in goal this season I think we'd be well in the bottom 3 a long time ago.
Decent keeper for us mostly but did some bloody silly things and should of saved more. His world class saves tended to keep the heat off him.
Would of been found out big time in this league.
Ryan much much better

You can't know that had he saved it we would have won the Championship.
It's entirely likely we would have seeing as were 0-1 up at 88mins but, as the Grealish goal proved, anything can happen in football. They could have scored in the 89th and then the 90th or the ref could have added 6 mins of added time and they could have gone on to score a freak six goals or something.

Very saddened to see this tweet from DS. As he says always a decent and honest man....
