History suggests we will almost certainly stay up next season

lundi 25 mai 2015

This table shows where each team relegated from the Premier League finished the season before. It suggests that, in general, the higher up the league a team finishes, the less likely they are to be relegated the following season.

1st - 0
2nd - 0
3rd - 0
4th - 0
5th - 1
6th - 1
7th - 1
8th - 3
9th - 2
10th - 1
11th - 1
12th - 7
13th - 3
14th - 4
15th - 3
16th - 2
17th - 9
18th - 0
19th - 2
1st Champs - 9
2nd Champs - 8
P/O Champs - 12

The only team to be relegated having finished 10th the previous year is Crystal Palace(!!!) who went down in the first season of the PL having placed 10th in the last year of the old First Division. The biggest fall from grace is Ipswich who went from 5th in 2000/01 under George Burley to 17th in 2001/02.

Championship play off winners have been relegated 12 out of 23 times so far. There has only been two seasons when all three promoted teams stayed up - but also only one season when all three promoted teams went back down.

Teams that just stay up (17th and 19th place) often struggle the following season.
