Don't worry.... apparently they have a "5-year plan" (again)

Could you imagine if Forest & Derby both got relegated in same season???
 
Forest haven’t played in the Premier League this century. They were relegated in 1999 and finished bottom of the league.

Derby were relegated in 2008 with the lowest total of 11 points so also bottom of the league.

Forest have been out of the big time for 22 seasons and Derby 13 so the combined total of 35 is heading towards your target of 50 Channy.

It does make me smile seeing them struggle.

Throw in the mix that Cov were relegated in 2001 and have since had one season in the 4th tier and life looks pretty rosy as a Leicester fan. These three teams have spent 55 seasons combined outside the top flight since they were each last relegated. 55 years. Think about that for just a second. When you see all three teams at the bottom end of the Championship this isn’t likely to change any time soon.
 
I dont miss goin to f####t or d###y but I have to say watching the skinny cov kids hanging on for dear life to that tree outside the corner of highfield road in the pissin rain just to watch us beat c#v 1-0 has to be one of my happiest memories
 
There are a generation of Leicester supporting kids growing up who genuinely have no idea who Nottm Forest, Derby County or Coventry City are.

in some ways it’s funny in other ways it’s sad.

But this morning I’m going for funny.
 
There but for the grace of God, I think.

Looking back to the 2004-10 era, we were in that same place - our prospects of returning to the Premier League were very low, even if, given a good manager, we might just squeeze in to the play-offs every now and then (as Pearson managed in 2010). In bad years, some of us were reduced to chanting Huuuume to keep our spirits up. We had gone bust, and then wound up in the hands of a chancer like Mandaric. Even our ground was mortgaged.

And I think we could have stayed in that same cycle, if Mandaric had sold us on to any one of a number of new foreign owners. Miraculously, he chose a wealthy family who turned out to be the best owners in the entirety of English football. Lucky us.
 
I really miss the banter with the complete twats from where I'm from who support Forest.

They won the European Cup you know.

We (pretend) not to care about "Fester"
 
Enjoy whilst you can, is my motto. Both our own success, and others' misery.
Our turn to suffer will almost certainly come again at some point in the future. There aren't many Clubs who have never been in trouble at one time or another, and the downside of today's high stakes is that there is now much further to fall.
 
There is a plant in our garden that we bought at Trentham Garden centre en route to the game where we were relegated to Div 3 at Stoke. As Bradnor said, anything could have happened and we could still be stuck in Div 2 or worse. In the intervening period we have had the greatest success in our entire history, and F*r*st, the Sheep and the SBS have had nothing at all over the past 10 years. It must be eating them up, it certainly would me.

I can count the number of times we have been relegated (a lot) over the last 50 years and it is not pleasant.

The plant is doing fine, too.
