Man United did the same. Won the league in 1967 and were relegated 73-74.

Blackburn did even better (worse).
Champions 94/95
Relegated 98/99

Big Sam can walk away having trousered over a £M and probably Dean Smith too.
A lesson that poor leadership from the Chairman and Management cant be rectified by a late change in Manager.

We saw what happened when we got relegated with that disgraceful points - deduction.
But we had the balls to fight back.

We had Balls.
And Merson
And Branca
And Beck
And Mustoe
And Townsend
And Schwarzer
And Festa
And Pearson
And Emerson
And Hignett
