They love it now, wait until they’ve been stuck trying to get out for 10+ years with a couple of spells in League 2. Fucking tourists.

As a Sunderland fan, the first 5-6 months in League 1 were great. Unpoisoned by money, proper fans, proper grounds, great experience. And we were winning. But the rest of the time there was a total slog and I hope we never go back

What’s funny is that I have read their spending counts in the 3 year FFP rolling total if they come straight back up. So they are fucked if they come up and will fail FFP unless they do an Ipswich and go straight through the championship or sell everyone they bought.

People like seeing their team win???
My dad argues that Boro would be best off reaching the playoffs every year but never getting promoted. That way you get to have a good season where you win the majority of your games without having to suffer the weekly hammering in the prem

Really the gist of this is “football fans enjoy winning” which is the same that can be said of any club, in any league.
Its like Premier League fans who moan about wanting to be back in the Championship because “its more fun” after a few years of slogging it out in 16th in the top flight winning about 8 games. Of course they love it when they come back down here and suddenly win 20+.
They’d moan just as much if they come down to the Championship and never win here either.

Tbh it’s the same as getting relegated from the prem, it’s miserable getting battered every week and then to become one of the strongest in the league it’s so much more enjoyable

Why didn’t the city football group buy Birmingham city ?

We had mixed reviews on league one. The first visit we just kept falling with no home and a team of kids. After coming up from league 2 it was a doddle. Definitely a league you can get promoted on momentum.
The Blues have broken all spending records and bought a new team so no wonder it’s going to be exciting. They will piss that league then be top 6 in the championship the following season

To be honest, when clubs are struggling in the championship, at the best of times it can be a good change to drop down to league one.
Can open up new opportunities, like it did for us with the takeover, the club took a whole new direction, which no one had been used to for so many years, and we reaped the rewards for it.

Enjoyed the new grounds and teams when Blackburn got relegated, but glad out in one season and not kean on going back anytime soon 😆

Isn’t there like some number of consecutive years in the Champ where teams tend to either get promoted or relegated? It’s like an unwritten rule that mediocrity in the Champ can’t last forever as maybe fans or the owners get bored.
14 seasons seems to be the upper limit looking at Derby (relegated), Ipswich (relegated) and Forest (promoted).
QPR, Preston and Bristol are currently the longest serving clubs (10 seasons), beware…
