Not sure it is. Seems like the average survival rate is two of the promoted three (66%). Occasionally, all three survive, but I think (without checking) the last time all three promoted clubs went back down was 1998 (Barnsley, Palace, Bolton). We should do the better of the three promoted clubs, providing QPR don't do some amazing last minute business.
Second season syndrome seems the current biggest threat for promoted clubs, as I think Hull and Palace will find out - I don't think either will do as well as last year.
Here's another stat for you , the team that wins the championship usually is the one out of the three to go back down !
