Its a tough one as i know for the clubs benefit they need to go up ASAP for financial reasons.
However as a fan i would be quite happy to stay in this league for another year or two after this, be entertained, build a new younger squad if thats what it takes and then hopefully go up.
I know quite a few Villa fans and the first season they were down they enjoyed it, it was a new experience, last season the same, however this season they are desperate to get back up, not only for financial reasons but they also want the buzz of playing the big games again.
I feel like that now, i am bored stupid of the premier league after largely 8 seasons of making up the numbers, i want some excitement and enjoyment because that is partly what football is supposed to involve (plus all the other emotions) and i have started to get that buzz back again a bit this season.
If we got promoted this season i would not be the least big excited, the premier league good memories are few and combined with no effort to do well in the cups (despite their being no excuse when you are comfortable mid table premier league) the whole thing still p****s me off, however i would hope in a couple of years time, similar to the Villa fans, i would be desperate to get back up again.
Of course the above is all very idealistic and you cant pick and choose when you get promoted, the risk of the above is you do never make it back and become a graveyard club in the championship like a Ipswich, Sheffield Wednesday, Forest, etc never really look like going up or down and you become a nothing championship club instead of a nothing premier league club (though Ipswich may break that trend this year!)
However being in the premier league made me bored of the Albion and also start to get fedup of football in general and i didnt like that feeling so i would happily take the risk of not being promoted so if we dont go up, thats fine with me!
