Derby County boss Paul Jewell is convinced they will bounce back stronger for this season's stay in the Premiership.
"If we can establish ourselves in the Premier League we can be there for a long, long time."
Jewell added: "We have come up a little bit undercooked this time and although we have given it our best shot we haven't been good enough.
"If we come back again we can learn lessons from this season. The club is big enough to sustain a top-ten team."
