Worst case we become parachute wankers, best case we join the club (or get stinky fingers).Head says of course yes I would.
But my heart says what would be the point? Surely the fun is the journey? The chance of glorious trophy parade actually achieving something for the history books.
Also will the Prem be as fun as being a really competitive team at this level? In the last 5-10 years I've lost all interest in the Premier League, don't really enjoy the path it's taken. Oil clubs and over the top finances that make it an almost closed shop. Even the clubs lauded as models to follow annoy me, the likes of Brentford, Bournemouth and Brighton. Small clubs that won the ownership lottery just at the right time football was in transition. whilst actually big clubs are left to ruin.
Nah actually I'd take it for sure, secure our future long term. Chance to bloody some big boy noses along the way.

According to this Sheffield should be on 33 pointsThis brings it home

Forgot thatThey were deducted 2 points last season
Forgot that
I'd take second nowI gave a whole host of reasons why I thought we'd win the league and don't see anything to stop us. Also we're 5 points clear of a team I don't think can challenge for the title and 7 points clear of 3rd ... and yet ... I'd still snap your hand off for 2nd and guaranteed promotion now.
I suspect most of you are conditioned to say the same so I'm not going to put a binary ' yes / no' poll out there, but is there anyone who wouldn't and if not I'd be interested to read why?
If we’re still top of the table in 10 games’ time we’ll go on to win the league I think.Be interesting to revisit this in perhaps another 10 games if our form continues and see at what point anyone has switched from the promotion bus to the champions bus.
Don’t seriously come on you’re messing with the godsBe interesting to revisit this in perhaps another 10 games if our form continues and see at what point anyone has switched from the promotion bus to the champions bus.

Would you take 2nd place and promotion now or risk missing out going for the title?Wouldn’t have to ask me twice
There may be some truth in what you say - another good reason why we need to go up as champions.I hate to break it to you lads but this season is probably as good as it’s going to get as a city fan. Enjoy it while it lasts cos we’ll be getting pumped more than Bonnie Blue if we go up then we’ll be entitled parachute fans when we come down again.
Second would be fabulous.
First would be a little bit of icing on the cake but no more than that.
