To be honest, I’m not sure there’s ever a scenario where a few years in the Championship would be beneficial for us. The loss of parachute money means each season out gets much harder to return and the gulf in quality between the leagues means you risk dropping to the standard more and more.
I’m a bit 50:50 still on whether we’ll do it. I think we have the strongest squad and that’ll pay dividends over the long season but I’m yet to be convinced we’ll score enough goals to get the wins we’ll need with two other red hot teams in contention.
Parker seems pragmatic though and I think that gives him a chance if we were to get back up and support him properly.
