gonzo Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Biggest club to go down since United in the 70s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I'm not convinced Everton will drop. Teams that drop are usually those that can't defend. Of that bottom 8 mini-league, only West Ham have conceded fewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they got many players on highly paid, long term contracts? Presumably no relegation clauses either. Fwiw, with a decent manager, I think they'd go straight back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Big Everton fan on this backwater I'm working on doesnt want Dyche as hes German. Needs an English man like Big Dunc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think young(er) people see them as a big club anymore - you've got to be now over 40 to remember them being a regular contender in the league, surely?

This is true, but still nobody has gone down in that time that has done anything over the same period really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altough given we've had West Ham and Newcastle in the Championship pretty recently I don't think it'd be a massive shock to loads if Everton do go down - not in the same way it would have 30 years ago.

Oh indeed, not a shock really. But defo the most traditional so called biggest to go down. West Ham have never played in the Champions league, and Newcastle have been in European football once in 10 years, while Everton twice.

Dr. Feelgood Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Well, he's gone. Bookies are ignoring Dyche & Bielsa. Rooney, Nuno Espirito Santo & Duncan Ferguson being touted. Ferguson. Jesus H. He'd make Roy Keane look like a mollifier. Not much time for a great deal of buying or selling by the as yet unnamed new guy. fwiw I can see them getting out of this yet. So tight in the bottom third that any small positive sequence can catapult a team upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I'd have thought Leeds going down so soon after the Champions League semi final was a bigger shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its gone to the last game of the season 3 times for us, in the prem EVER. Leeds have spent 50 years outside the top league including some even in the 3rd division, Everton 4. Its not even close. 4ish Years passed after that CL semi till they went down too. Edited January 23, 2023 by Pablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Everton biggest club outside the top 6 imo. Traditionally bigger than City in that 6 too. And not far off Spurs and Chelsea Tbh. Then youve got your leeds and Villas. Then Newcastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
