2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[Timbucktoo]

14th was worst their finish in the year they won the euro conference trophy

It shows how hard it is for teams outside the sky 6 to cope with the extra commitment to European fixtures. There`s basically the 6 playing nearly every season and the rest fighting for that last European place. If you`re in Europe you need 3 or 4 good extra players in your squad, but if you miss out and you have those extra players you`ll have a couple not happy that they`re not getting as much game time. Spuds and UTD might miss out this season, but next year not having Europe they`ll be a tougher team and probably get back their place the following year. So many teams outside the 6 have got their European spot and just not been able to cope the following season, and certainly have not been able to build on that progress.
