From our current position of strength I reckon it would take a combination of the following, in order of importance: 1) A manager that doesn't work out 2) 2 bad transfer windows in a row 3) loss of 1 or 2 key players 4) A season where 2 of 3 promoted clubs have a stormer. 5) loss of key backroom staff.

It is inevitable at some point though, nothing lasts forever in football.

I'll go for 27/28

RDZ leaves at end of 24/25 after failing to qualify for Europe again.

Maverick managerial appointment that doesn't work out in 25/26, gets fired, a few players start to leave and not replaced with same quality.

26/27 new manager bumbling around lower mid table not really up to much.

27/28 no improvement in results, manager fired part way through season but doesn't stop relegation.

Okay seems a bit far fetched.

There's a reasonable chance that our recruitment model gets successfully cloned by 3 or 4 more other clubs, who aren't so concerned about trying to break even. Add in a few mid-sized clubs getting bought out by Yanks and middle eastern states.
This eventually slows our supply of players and managers, and as average wages continue to rise we find ourselves, struggling in a better quality division.

I could see us slipping down the league in this scenario, which would probably take a minimum of 7 years to take hold.
So I'll go for 2031/32
