I ask this question as news just saying:
Out-of-favour Tottenham forward Giovani Dos Santos has seen a proposed move to Villarreal collapse following their relegation from the Primera Liga, according to his lawyer.
2004/2005 = 3rd
2005/2006 = 7th
2006/2007 = 5th
2007/2008 = 2nd
2008/2009 = 5th
2009/2010 = 7th
2010/2011 = 4th
2011/2012 = 18th
I haven't seen much of them this season, what happened to their league form??
What the hell happened to Villarreal??

I always considered them a decent side though, just seems like such a massive drop in form. Just wondered what triggered it

A few of their key players got long-term injuries - Rossi and Nilmar to name a couple - and they collapsed.
A lot of Spanish clubs are also in financial trouble. Not sure if they are one of them.

Christ, just worrying how a big team like them can just be relegated when their previous league positions have always been in the top 10

They sold one of their best players in Santi Cazorla and key players got injuries.

Sold cazorla. Sold Capdevilla. Senna old. Rossi crocked and no more riquelme to save them = relegation

They also got to the semi final of the Champions League not that long ago. This season they were knocked out in the group stages with zero points - in City and Bayern Munich's group.
