"But the association with the Indian owners was not as productive as one hoped, with the club relegating to the Championship, the second-tier, two seasons later ending their 11-year run in the Premier League. From there on, the club has been fighting hard for promotion without success, often enduring a tough time to maintain their position in the Championship itself. They survived relegation from the second tier to the third last season and the seemingly inaction from the side of the owners to reinforce the squad while selling off team's assets has widened the ever increasing gulf between the club and its fans."
