Blame is pointed at Ashley for relegation when the truth is it was coming for a long time due to spending a lot of money on unknown and rubbish players.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
What he spends his money on is none of our business. I doubt he is on Par with Abramovich's Yacht.
Unless you are suggesting he pockets the income of Newcastle United?

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Wayne Bridge will be a good buy but again it depends on what wages they're giving him.
I don't expect big money buys, just be sensible with the funds and buy people who are certainly committed to the club without having to buy their commitment.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Norwich, QPR and Swansea will take a battering next season but one of them should survive with a bit a luck and we will see Wolves or Wigan make the drop.
The difference between Premierleague and Championship football is a lot bigger than people make it out to be.
Take West Brom and Newcastle's championship campaign in what turned out to be the most one sided title race which was wrapped up Christmas with both teams securing unchallenged promotion a month or so before the season had finished.
More to the point of the Premierleague Title, Hopefully Arsenal can stop dropping points in easy games and actually make it somewhat of an interesting season with more than 2 title challengers. I see Chelsea winning it in the end but I do not see the Champions league trophy at Stamford bridge unless the special one is in the hot seat.

I tend to agree however no one gave Blackpool are figs chance in hell and they *almost* managed it. Not finishing bottom & not getting totally humiliated week in week out will be okay for me - finishing 4th from bottom and i'll be ecstatic!

I have a feeling Swansea will get relegated so hard we'll end up in League One next year

Premier league football is all about the bottom of the table and who'll survive. The top half is as predictable as night and day

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Its funny though because when the 3 from the premierleague drop, They usually steamroll championship opposition and come right back up so It's nice to see Swansea, QPR and Norwich who have not been about either at all or for a few seasons.
Whether its just the fact that Newcastle's relegation was just unlucky or not still doesn't stop Birmingham, West Ham or West Brom burying championship teams when they do drop.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Southampton, Sheff Utd, Watford, Derby, Leeds, etc never came straight back up more relegated yet again. I'd say Newcastle was the anomaly.

I think he would have got more premiership experience sticking with Swansea, instead he has to compete with 2 other reserves and the current first team keeper

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Most of the teams mentioned there James were in a real crisis, Leeds being the more high profile crisis than the others.
What I mean are teams that bounce up and down all the time. Sunderland were a club that were in and out of that league easily.
Usually one promoted club survives the drop but both West Brom and Newcastle proved their Premierleague credentials whilst Blackpool had a good run and an awesome first try. they just did not cut it out.
When 3 teams come up that have been championship clubs for years.. Its going to be a dose of battering's week in week out and usually and here's to hoping that one of them can pull of a string of results to keep them above an unfortunate club.. Probably Wolves
Sorry Norwich and QPR fans but I do hope it's Swansea
