Fairly sure they did that because it was sh** or bust for them, they needed the champ tv money.
Was that the year they made the play-offs but lost to Rotherham? That would have been 2016/17 I think? It is a swift decline.
I remember them going up via the play-offs in 2009 (?) when they beat Millwall in the final. A Leeds fan had told me it was a shoo-in for his team to go up, but they were knocked out and didn’t even make the final. Scunny stayed up for a couple of years and then came back down to concentrate on winning 4-1 at Bescot every season.
