TheGuv Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 After relegation, the club underwent off-the-field upheaval, with new chairman David Bernstein introducing greater fiscal discipline.[21] City were promoted at the first attempt, achieved in dramatic fashion in a play-off against Gillingham. A second successive promotion saw City return to the top division, but this proved to have been a step too far for the recovering club, and in 2001 City were relegated once more. Kevin Keegan arrived as the new manager in the close season, bringing an immediate return to the top division as the club won the 2001–02 Division One championship, breaking club records for the number of points gained and goals scored in a season in the process.[ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Has a team ever had back to back promotions from League 1 to the Premier League? Just i feel Norwich will come straight back down Not sure, but I want to say Man City? Didn't realise City had won the first division and FA cup less times than us, interesting.

Just i feel Norwich will come straight back down Not sure, but I want to say Man City? I'm sure they did. Did Fulham and even Blackpool do it? Can't remember if Fulham were that far down and cannot remember if there was a gap for Blackpool. I'm pretty sure Blackpool were in there the year before last.

Watford did it, 97/98 Champions of Division 2, 98/99 play-off winners in Division 1 (2-0 win vs Bolton, Allan Smart and Nicky Wright overhead kick). also did it in the 80s, when they went from division 4 to division 1 in successive seasons.
