If you read it - and I've quoted you - your stance is that we are better off out of a competition that we cannot win.
In all likelihood we will not be in a position to compete for the title in the Premier League if promoted.
By this reckoning then if we get promotion to the Premier League this season and using your "It's a competition we were never going to win" we might as well just hide behind the sofa and suck our thumbs rather than give it our best shot.
