THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

I can't see a single benefit to relegation

We are stuck in a cycle that will only be broken with Pete making a business decision.

What decision does Pete need to make and how will relegation help with either meking the decision or the decision itself?

Going down from Championship to League 1 seems to be Ok, but the drop to League 2 seems a wider gap and more difficult to bounce back. Granted we did it, Portsmouth too, but Bradford nor Doncaster have (this time). Luton fell further and took a long time to get back, while Bournemouth had new rich owners.

Maybe once is Ok, but if a club starts making a habit of it, there is a risk that it's easier to go down than up.

I don't think there is much difference in the gap after all Sunderland, Ipswich, Charlton, Sheffield Wednesday and more have failed to bounce back for multiple seasons

there isn't. It's a football wilderness.

As in, it makes no massive difference if we get relegated, compared with if Pete sells up or accepts/seeks outside investment. Otherwise we are stuck in the L1-L2-L1- occasional Championship- L1-L2 cycle.

I could probably cope with one season in the basement, IF it meant a proper re construction and a quick return, what I don’t want is another repeat of this seasons abysmal showing if we manage stay in league 1.

Just ask Scunthorpe or Yeovil fans!!

Absolutely not

Yup.
Wot I said when I started 'It is what it is' a couple of weeks ago.
