inspired by the Budgies farcical claims of bring the best side ever to be relegated, who do we reckon is actually the best side to be relegated from the Premier League?
I imagine West Ham who were relegated with the highest points total will have a fair shout? |  |

Are some people actually claiming that to be the case? Odd given they're rock bottom and can't beat an egg. They're not even the best side to be relegated this season.
Newcastle in 2016 are worthy of a mention. Their squad was far too good to go down but Rafa came in too late. Steve Mclaren, what a disaster he is. |
Newcastle must have had a pretty good squad in 2008/09 when they went down as well. They walked the Championship in 2009/10. |  |

I think the Newcastle squad of 2008 were better. Too many mercenaries though and a shambolic trail of managers.
No squad containing Owen, Nolan, Barton, Duff, Martins, Taylor, Butt, Collocini, Enrique, Smith and Viduka should have been anywhere near going down. |
That's fair, that squad was arguably better than the 2016 one. I think in both cases had they had a proper manager for the most part they would've been OK. It was a complete farce with Shearer in charge. Owen sat on the bench refusing to play. Absolute circus of a club they were at that time. |  |

I should think we need to look closer to home to be honest. Champions in 62 to down in 64? Was there much difference in personnel between the two, manager aside? |  | | |

They are such an embarrassment to East Anglia. |  |

Man City 1937/38 must be a decent shout.
Champions the previous season and the division's top scorers in the season they went down. I think possibly the only team ever relegated from the top division with a positive goal difference? |
Just looked at that, what a bonkers season. Bottom had 36 points, top had 52. City won 14 of their 42 games, and if you apply their points to 3 for a win and a 38 game season they went down with 45 points. |  |

Yep, that West Ham side with Sinclair, Joe Cole, Carrick, Kanoute, etc. |
When you look through this thread one theme pops out...Highly paid players, and lots of them, not pulling their weight.
If those players had done their job to the best, or as close to as they could, of their abilities, those clubs would have had a chance.
I understand the manager is a big factor but the players could have revolted.
All taking their fat salaries and transfers soon after no doubt with sign-on fees.
The players should be barred from the prem for a few years for not pulling their weight.....

To be fair, don’t think they’ve said that. Just some delusional pundits |  |

Nice of you to respond to my post.
How about some engagement with me in the latter stages of this thread...
Appaulled by one's own. by hampstead_blue 4 Jul 2020 13:45Am a member of a few veteran type fv groups. Mainly linked to my old units and Corps.
In one group, Ex-Army or something like that, someone posted a video of a black chap gobbing off to a group of white blokes. He got his head bashed about. Nothing particularly edifying for either party in the video.
What hurt me was the comments. I'm not going to repeat as I don't want to be any way linked but......
I did report it and left the group.
It's sad and shameful that a bunch of Phil Mitchell lookeelikeees, and that was pretty much the demographic, are out there and spouting off in the name of 'veterans'.
Happy to share good and bad and this is utterly shameful.
Context before someone disappears into the kuiper belt........These are only my 'own' in that they are veterans. Nowt else links me to those utter morons. Let's just make that clear. Sorry Herbivore to ruin that one for you.

I'm not sure we are in a position to make that claim currently
But it's amusing all the same
I wonder if they can add it to their honours? | |

Ha good shout. What was interesting with that one was the likes of Buffon, Nedved, Del Piero who all stayed loyal for the year and got them back up. | | | |
