I'm curious to know how it would end us? Leeds, Newcastle, Man City, Villa and West Ham are all decent sized clubs that were relegated in the last 25 years and have all bounced back, some better than others.
Coventry, Sheff Weds, Sunderland, Birmingham City. All decent sized clubs (similar in size to Man City/West Ham/Newcastle) that didn't/haven't bounced back.
also Man City didn't 'bounce back' - they dropped to Div 1 and were out of the top flight for more than 3 years.
Leeds were also out for several years... but I guess 'bounce back' is a subjective term.
