it seems we are currently fourth in the list of teams who returned to it after a long gap (soon to be fifth when Cov go up):
Most years outside the top division in English football before returning to it
Brentford: 74 years, 1947-2021
Brighton & Hove Albion: 34 years, 1983-2017
Coventry City (tbc): 25 years, 2001-2026
Nottingham Forest: 23 years, 1999-2022
Ipswich Town: 22 years, 2002-2024

Edit: in true social media fashion, it turns out this isn’t true, and there are many other examples.
A list here, apparently, if you can get past the ads: https://www.tbsnews.net/sports

I would be fairly sure there are others missing from that list.
Burnley would be the first I would want to check but probably Wolves too. |  |
