Bit of a mixed bag, but only 6/36 promoted teams were relegated in the 1st Championship season. Probably what you'd expect as they would presumably be decent sides to get promoted. Only Norwich went directly through. Interesting. Wonder how the teams relegated from the Prem did; how many went back up?
Leicester are just panic buying to me, they have the money at their disposal & buying what ever & who ever seems to be the 'talked about name' of the moment. We might have the money but I would much rather a board like ours that have their heads screwed on & looking for players that will make a difference & not just filling up a squad because they can. Look at Man City they buy all these names, but cna they keep them all happy? No!?!
We all know that NA & NC will have a plan in place & names they would like, & deals are more than likely in progress at the moment, just doesnt need to be made a public matter. We have a great squad, who have geled as a unit & work well, just need a couple of names to add more depth & competition.

So I make that 8 promotions out of 36.
Thanks..knew someone couldn't resist looking it up. So, not a high number go straight back up, again because we must assume they weren't very good in the first place. The increased parachute payments may affect that, so it will become harder for other teams.
Pardew did a great job of constructing the team. He quickley saw Lallana, Scheniderlin & Davies as the starmen and went about building a side in a season who did brilliantly in the cups and missed out on the play offs.
That squad was bolstered with more players with Championship experience ready for our impending promotion.
A few ups and downs with Pardews exit, but since his arrival Adkins has tweaked the squad, got them together and made them believe.
It's maybe more hope than expectation, but I love the fact the players (Lambert & Martin) are talking of promotion this year. Why not? At this level of football there is not much which seperates teams, but that confidence and belief can carry a team through. Look at Norwich and Blackpool. Individually you would not think a great deal of all the players, but belief and will to win took them to the premier league and it very nearly kept Blackpool there against all the odds.
I think some fans are taking for granted the real acheivement of the Cortese reign and thats no player has left this football club without us wanting them too. When was the last time Saints went so long without losing a top player?
