As a Newcastle fan, I can tell you that the Championship season after the first 'recent' relegation was spectacularly fun. We won almost every week, which made a change.
This. Championship is a better league than the PL (quality of football aside) and coming down to the league with a good squad is fun. The challenge is getting back out again. It's a great league because it's super competitive.
We're really struggling this time and teams like Villa, Wolves, Stoke, Fulham etc etc have all missed getting back into the PL at the first time of asking, even with good squads.
What you really don't want, is to still be there after the parachute payments dry up.
