The fact Spurs lost to 2 of them at home is another damning stat for how poor we and Ange have been.
Will be the same next season. All teams are now 'established' in the EPL. Wolves and Everton are the only weakish teams and they both have good managers now.
Promoted 3 will go down again next season
I think going up then down and then up again should be part of the plan, realistically, for many.
It's hard to make the jump up and financially difficult, but a season of PL a season of parachute payments and hopefully season of Pl puts you in a stronger place if you accept this as part of a long term strategy and plan for it.
Seems like few do plan for it and sack managers quickly. Saints for example came 5th I think and came through the play offs. So they were far from being the best team in the Champ and should accept that a long term plan is needed and not just bin that half way through an inevitably tough season. Leicester the same. Short-termism dominates their strategies and is flawed in most cases IMO.

Don't think you can rule out one of the more established teams having a stinker (Bournemouth or Fulham maybe) especially if they lose their manager and a few key players. However, my money would be on Leeds, Burnley and whoever all going back down.
Brentford are the one I always think could slip into trouble but they always seem to get comfortably safe early doors. Not missing Toney at all - although if the boss did go and Mbuemo and/or Wissa everything changes. They remind me in some ways of Charlton under Curbishley.
West Ham, too. There is often a club who ends a season in terrible form and take it into the next. If Paqueta and Kudus go they are left with Bowen and a load of bang average footballers. Antonio will probably be first choice striker next season after another couple of replacements flopped this.
Ipswich tbf got promoted too early. If they come straight back up then they'll probably do better.
A lot of the “weaker” Prem sides all have very decent managers now - Silva, Glasner, Iraola, Moyes, Frank, Nuno. Compare that to the promoted 3:
McKenna - definitely the best of the lot and very well might go on to be an elite manager, but it’s all very early for him
Russell Martin - bloke loves Ange’s style, nuff said
Juric - woeful
RVN - he did beat Ange though
Cooper - not a bad manager but a terrible fit with that squad
Don’t get me started on Ange
