Relegation is hard. Relegation is - and feel free to quote us on this - not fun.
Sometimes though, it's the adversities in life which make us stronger. We fall so that we can get back up again, as it were. Here's a selection of teams who certainly took that message to heart.
Kaiserslautern
Leicester fans look away - Kaiserslautern might just have a more unlikely title-winning story than you.
A few years of reasonable domestic results in the early 90s meant that the German side's relegation in 1996 came as a bit of a surprise; especially as they won the German Cup in the same season.
They bounced straight back up the next season - and stormed to the actual Bundesliga title in their very first season back in the top flight. No biggie.
Juventus
Juve's situation is a unique one for this list - relegated for their involvement in theCalciopoli scandal rather than any on-field, form-related struggles.
But relegated they were, with a whole host of the club's biggest stars leaving for top-flight football and Europe's top table. It wasn't an easy road back to the top for the Turin side, spending the next few years dealing with the fall-out from the mass exodus and the blow to their reputation, but once they made it...
Once they got back to winning ways, there was no stopping them. A Serie A title in 2011/12 was followed by another. Then another. Then...well, you get the picture. The run now stands at five league titles in a row - domestic dominance on a scale not seen at the club since the 1930s.
Newcastle
If this list were to be revisited in a year's time, Newcastle may be on it a second time as Rafa Benitez continues to strip away a couple of seasons of accumulated rust at St James' Park.
It's not the first revamp on Tyneside in relatively recent years though - because the 2008/09 relegation team was horrible. Just awful. Danny Guthrie started more than half of Newcastle's games that season, and he's literally Danny Guthrie.
By the time the Magpies got back into the top flight after a season in the wilderness, things looked much rosier. A mid-table finish in their return season was followed up by 5th place...although the things which followed were less healthy.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace feel like such a consistent Premier League fixture, it's easy to forget that until 2014/15, they'dnever spent more than one consecutive season in the Premier League.
In previous appearances, where they'd yo-yoed up and down between divisions, there was little in the way of consistency at the top level. Eight seasons in the second tier, though, saw their 2013 return work out successfully - and they've remained reasonably comfortably at the top table ever since. For now, at least...
Watford
When Watford were last relegated back in 2007, they were a club in...well, if not crisis, then in a bit of a pickle. Their first season back in the Championship saw them fail in the playoffs, before a handful of lower-mid table finishes gave them time to sit back and rebuild properly ahead of their triumphant return last season.
Having previously failed to stay in the Premier League for more than a year in their history, the Hornets have swiftly established themselves as a solid mid-table proposition - finishing 13th in their first season and sitting in the top half after a solid chunk of this season.
West Ham
Yeah, remember when West Ham got relegated?!
A disastrous 2011/12 season saw the Hammers finish rock bottom of the Premier League - but just a few years later, they're back and in a stronger position than ever as a club.
Last season's 7th placed finish saw the Londoners pick up their highest top flightpoints total for over three decades and, with the Olympic Stadium beginning to take shape as a usable prospect (don't do that face, it is!), Slaven Bilic's side has bounced back in style.
