Looked at one point they were starting to pull away from danger, but 6 league defeats in a row now. Ruuuuuuuuud.

Loving it in North Leicestershire…. No more cocky pub banter… it’s a slow decline starting with relegation back into the Championship. Weakened squad / EFL penalties… lovely.

Is it down to his ability or lack of it?

If you play with 11 turds you end up covered in shite.

I had Wolves going down with Gary O'Neil in charge, but now he's been sacked Wolves will stay up and Leicester will follow Ipswich and Southampton to the Championship.

The Premier League is broken, any team coming up now from this division ain't got a chance in hell. You essentially now require a billionaire owner that will spend literally a hundred million to rebuild your squad while staying up once you get your 10 points deducted for ffp breaches. And even then only Nottingham Forest have done this successfully.

Shef United, Luton, Leeds, Burnley, your "yo yo clubs" Norwich, West Brom.

All 3 promoted season before last wete all relegated last season, currently in the Championship.

Teams promotoed last season as it stands -

Southampton 20th - only 6 points from a possible 60

Leicester 19th - only 14 points from a possible 63

Ipswich 17th level on points with 18th place Wolves, only 16 points from a possible 60 points.

IIt's looking highly likely for two years running all 3 promoted will come straight back down.
This isn't a coincidence.

15 teams In the league now that are almost relegation proof these days, the only 2 that have fallen are Wolves and Everton, and just looking at Wolves squad they are levels above Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton.
Everton have just been bought out, have David Moyes in charge, there is not a chance they get relegated.

The Premier League now is almost impossible to stay up.

If you read my original post I mentioned Forest being the only club to successfully get promoted with the intention of breaking ffp rules in order to buy a squad good enough to be issued a points deduction and still stay up.

This was kinda the point I was making, Unless you have an owner with that mentality and money to be able spend a fuck load on players get a points deduction but staying up in the process then you're going down nowadays.

Just had a quick look - I was having a shite day and that has just really cheered me up. I got banned from there many years ago..but seeing those cheating bin dippers get all upset about everything just makes you feel pretty good.

EFL are waiting rubbing their hands vigorously until the day they are relegated! They need to pay their dues for breaching the rules, would love a 10 point deduction

10 points? Should be at least 20 with the way they took the piss. And they're also from Leicester.

Can see their best players jumping ship knowing they are in for a big points reduction.

Leicester wasn't going to be a great choice for any manager. Was always a bit of an odd choice.

They can afford to once established with the TV money coming in. The hard part is surviving the 1st season.

A lot of clubs have spent a lot of money not to get there. Stoke are the worst of the bunch. They haven't managed a top half finish since their last time up there.

I don’t disagree. The only clubs who did it/got close without spending a fortune was us and Luton.

Our £5k was double because we pleaded not guilty, Sheff United’s £100k (it was their 5 charge in 2 years) was reduced because they admitted the offence.

Nearly 3,000 empty seats last night. I do hope they build that ground extension soon.

Even city play better than Manure on this display addendum! City play like Southampton in the the last 10 minutes

The team aren't at the level required. I think he is an appointment for next season rather than this.
