This Wolves manager is the one Everton fans protested against for Frank Lampard.

But he never mentions it because he’s not……

What the hell is that coat Scott Parker is wearing. Clobber shocker. Needs to be called out now as they are likely to be in Prem next year.

[Nebraska Red]

Leeds and Burnley back in the big league.

"Please remain in your seats."

As hundreds get on the pitch at Turf Moor.

Sadly, some fans acting like idiots.

[dyl]

So, Farke or Parker to be thr first Prem manager to be sacked next season?

[Bogman]

Spuds two down, nope off side.

Putting down a marker

Now it’s two nil.

Spurs are so bad

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

So 1 relegation spot open for next season along with Leeds & Burnley, probably the playoff winners

Yer. It’s a problem. Can’t see it being any different the year after either. Can’t be healthy for either league really. Or me, a person who just wants Everton to go down.

especially the latter

In the PL era - and probably long before that - only once had the 3 promoted sides all gone straight back down. Think it's happened 2 seasons running now

[Bailo]

I don't think Leeds will go straight back down, they're decent under Farke. They need a new keeper though.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

a quick google - 

In the 2023-2024 Premier League season, all three promoted teams (Luton Town, Sheffield United, and Burnley) were relegated back to the Championship, according to The Guardian. This is the second time in Premier League history that all three promoted teams have been relegated, the first time being in the 1997-1998 season, according to Wikipedia. 

This is a major problem really, especially if it happens again next season. Maybe Leeds will survive but you've got to expect now that 2 of the 3 will go down most seasons maybe something like 25-27 over a 10y span

Might be a good club for Kelleher

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

so basically 

Leeds relegated 23, lost playoffs 24, promoted 25

Burnley promoted 23, relegated 24, promoted 25

Sheff U promoted 23, relegated 24, clear 3rd place & probably favs for the playoffs 25

Leicester relegated 23, promoted 24, relegated 25

we're going to have a division between the PL & Championship with about 5 or 6 teams permanently yo-yoing

 

That said - promoted 22 Fulham, Forest & Bournemouth have made a good effort of it
