Arsenal joined the football league in 2nd division, won the promotion to it. Then got relegated, went bankrupt, bought by some good fella, reached 5th position in the 2nd division...and then they've changed places with Tottenham Hotspur who was at the time in 1st division. Some think that it was not at all a 'clear and vivid' arrangement...

They wouldn't have been relegated and then not had to play in the 2nd tier would they?

Other explanations would be relegated just before the war and got out back into the top flight, or the top league was expanded.

I think the key here is not won promotion, as they've definately been relegated.
