The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[Grfirestorm]

You look at the league at the moment. Let’s take eternal hope that Moyes can turn us back to his old Everton and we are back fighting for Europe, then who else look possible for the drop other than those three that have come up?

Wolves unless they invest will probably be in the mix, but most of rest are well clear of 40 points already. You’ve got to assume United and Spurs won’t be as awful, so that leaves maybe West Ham and possibly Brentford who I could see slowly slipping down the league next season. Unless those promoted clubs do a Forrest and overspend on a shed load of players (and that almost failed for Forrest at first) it’s a struggle to see how we won’t see the same as this season.

Maybe one of them will be stupid enough to appoint Van Nistelrooy, Steve Cooper or Juric. The promoted clubs need to make the right calls and hope someone else falls off like Leicester and Southampton did a couple of years ago appointing awful managers (and did again this year). Wolves were having a shocker of a season but then Pereira has come in and worked wonders.

Plus if the likes of Forest or Bournemouth get into Europe they'd struggle with the extra games.
