Good afternoon
bit bored of the international break so thought it would be interesting to look back on the last 15 years of teams being relegated from the Premier League as hopeful it will give us a gage of a target that seems realistic.
teams with * were the third place that year, so anything higher was safe
team points
Birmingham 2011* 39
Blackpool 2011 39
Newcastle 2016* 37
Reading 2008* 36
Bolton 2012* 36
wigan 2013* 36
Birmingham 2008 35
Hull 2015* 35
Burnley 2022* 35
Newcastle 2009* 34
Norwich 2016 34
Hull 2017* 34
Cardiff 2019* 34
Watford 2020 34
Bournmouth 2020* 34
West ham 2011 33
Norwich 2014* 33
Burnley 2015 33
Stoke 2018 33
Swansea 2018* 33
WBA 2009 32
Middlesb 2009 32
Fulham 2014 32
Blackburn 2012 31
WBA 2018 31
Hull 2010 30
Burnley 2010* 30
Cardiff 2014 30
QPR 2015 30
Reading 2013 28
Middlesb 2017 28
Fulham 2021* 28
Fulham 2019 26
WBA 2021 26
Wolves 2012 25
QPR 2013 25
Sunderland 2017 24
Sheff U 2021 23
Watford 2022 23
Norwich 2022 22
Norwich 2020 21
Portsmouth 2010 19
Aston Villa 2016 17
Huddersfield 2019 16
Derby 2008 11
a few points of note:
based on this, 37 points is by line in the sand so just 11 points more (3 wins and 2 draws perhaps)
the number of teams that have bounced between PL and Champ is unreal, relegation = promotion push the next season (worst case scenario)
easy to see why Derby and Huddersfield fans were so desperate for us to have a bad season, glad we already comfortably passed their pathetic totals.
overall, despite our struggles of late this does make me feel more hopeful it will be alright in the end

forgot how low it was in 2021, 29 points good enough to survive.
