Are we saying the three favourites for promotion are Albion, Fulham and Sheffield United? With the three favourites for relegation from the Premier League are Norwich, Watford and whoever wins the play offs? English football has a problem doesn't it Not sure about Sheffield United tbh. They look completely spent.

Fulham don't win football matches so on that logic, they're going down.

This leaves TP as the undisputed master at avoiding relegation. It was such a huge task for Big Sam. WBA made a good decision in appointing him but perhaps they left it too late. Perhaps Big Sam would fancy moving north a few miles to another Championship club in need of experienced leadership. What a load of cobblers. They were not cut adrift when they appointed him and after doing so the gap has increased not been cut. Maybe he should have resigned on Saturday night to keep the technical never relegated tag like TP who also relegated the same team like Hughes relegated Stoke. Who’s responsible he who makes the mess or he who’s left with the mess they made on the last day of the season. Perhaps Wilder didn’t relegate Sheffield Utd either.

English football has a problem doesn't it Doesn't seem to of worried Leeds this season. It isn't suddenly a closed shop. Basically depending on how the clubs are run and recruitment plays a part. Any of the bottom 10 could go any given season. If Norwich can somehow tighten up defensively they have a better chance, Burnley went down and came back stronger so what is to say Watford and Norwich are automatically going down ? I agree they will be favourites but even so there is enough dirge, Newcastle, Palace, Wolves, Burnley, all just meandering around really.

Think the consensus amongst their fans seems to be Big Sam has done pretty well - and that certainly matches the eye test.
They looked a pretty competent team by the end of the season.
Bilic seems to have been perceived to have left them in a bit of a mess.
If Big Sam stays, they'd have to be favourites.

Three decent away trips for next season then.
I have to say Fulham is up there as the best away day in London.

If big Sam sticks around they will go straight back up. He is the sort of manager if backed who will walk this league. I wish we could attract him. So do i he would soon sort the shower of half arsed players we currently have.

No way Allardyce would walk into our financial nightmare.
He'd fancy a crack at auto promotion with West Brom's huge parachute money, but anyone is on a hiding to nothing here.
I don't think anyone of any reputation would touch our job with a barge pole while we're in these FFP handcuffs

I don't think anyone of any reputation would touch our job with a barge pole while we're in these FFP handcuffs We're only in handcuffs for another 12 months and there is always the prospect of working for some of the richest people in football. People keep talking this job down but it's still one of the best in the business. It now also comes with a free pass of lowered expectation, where fans have now had it beaten into them that anything around halfway is acceptable. So much so, I'm surprised Toxic isn't beating the door down for volume III.

I've never had food poisoning from oysters. One of the main reasons for that is I've never eaten oysters 😀

West Brom and Fulham will be certs to go back up ..think sheff Utd will find it harder Teams who've had a season like Sheffield Utd don't tend to bounce back. Too used to losing and if they don't get their appointment bang on, I can see their form carrying over into next season.

They weren’t cut adrift when he joined, he had over half the season, they were more points from safety than when he took over.

It’s probably not relevant to this, but given that it would definitely affect the chances of promotion / relegation, has anyone else seen on Twitter that the EFL are contemplating a large ( doesn’t say how many) points deduction for the Rams due to FFP overspending, to be imposed during the 21/22 season? If it’s correct, I really hope Scholes has done his job properly because you know the EFL would love to make an example of a team like Stoke?

English football has a problem doesn't it Personally I think Norwich will stay up and Brentford (if they come up) have a good chance of survival. For me I'd be worried if I was a Southampton fan. They're supposed to be losing a few of their better players this summer and although I rate the manager I do think some results have been pretty poor this season. I also think Palace are in the same boat even if Zaha stays. Most clubs outside the top 7 do well to spend 10 years in the Premier League and Palace and Southampton must be both nearing that now. I still think both Newcastle and Burnley could be in trouble next season but both seem to be able to pick out results. Hopefully Wolves fall apart as well.

Regardless of intentions, it's a rigged system: Championship has to deal with FFP, then when they do go up, they have 1 year to compete with clubs that haven't been limited on spending at all. While the underdog thing is entertaining, it's not equitable. No wonder there are so many yo-yo teams and teams in breach of FFP. Parachute payments aren't enough It's all so hypocritical when you consider the Pig 6 vs everyone else.

He's getting himself a bit confused. His hero and Michael O'Neill aren't that far apart in how they started their Stoke careers. MON rescued Stoke from relegation and then in his first full season won 60 points with 21 cleans sheets, remarkably close to Tony's 61 points and 20 clean sheets in 2004/05 (which incidentally was five points worse than his first full season in 2003/04), though MON didn't manage five 1-0 defeats on the trot this season.

I for one am glad to see fat Sam get relegated, although have nothing against the Baggies.
Just don't like the bloke and think he has an, unjustified, arrogance about him.
Hope he stays at WBA and they flirt with League 1 next term...
They will probably go straight back up, with or without him...so preferably without him

Perhaps Big Sam would fancy moving north a few miles to another Championship club in need of experienced leadership. Along with Mark Hughes who has never been relegated either, although both Pulis and Hughes have contributed significantly towards their clubs getting relegated on more than one occasion.
