Next to "do a Charlton"..?

The bottom seven in the Premiership are currently Birmingham, Blackburn, Bolton, Hull, Portsmouth, West Ham and Wolves.

Which of these seven would be most likely to see the financial wheels fall off and to sink through the Championship and into the third level (or worse)?

  • Hull or Portsmouth
  • Hull - back where they bvelong

    Liverpool! ;)
  • I think Hull are more likely to do a Bradford. Jimmy Bullard is the new Benito Carbone
  • Reading are in motion already
  • I just think West Hammight be facing serious problems if they go down. They're already in a huge financial mess and the cases they lost against Sheff Utd and Curbs must be crippling.

    True but they are teflon as they have friends in high places.

    Care to expand? Because it seems they also have some enemies in high places!

    It just seems to me that they have been found guilty of plenty over the last few years yet other Clubs receive more severe punishments. Bury got chucked out of the cup for playing an illegible player. West Ham did the same with Manny Onymyni (?spelling) and the authorities just said naughty boys don't do it again! Or words to that effect. There may also have been a token fine but nothing too onerous if so.

    I thought I read that the Sheffield United payout had been reduced as well.
  • I think it'll be Portsmouth. No money, no confidence and possibly about to go on to their third set of owners in a year.
  • didn't Fulham Birmingham and some other club do a big dive like we have - and survive?
  • WSSWSS

    Man City?

    (I think they are the only team to have gone down from the top league to the third tier and returned)
  • thought the other two did as well?

    I meant since the Prem League/Ship was established.
  • Wham have done an us already - went down, had to flog off all their big stars - but they were big enough to bounce back from it. I guess they had the right management in place.

    Do you mean Alan Pardew?!

    Very dry :-)
  • Hull if they go down will struggle to come back! Derby are another side massively on the slide, they face a relegation battle this season so maybe they will be in League 1 next season

  • Portsmouth have started to put some results together and might yet get themselves out of it. In fact, they are guaranteed to do that since I backed them pre-season to be relegated.
  • hull and west ham.... not a bad thing :-)
  • Maybe Burnley. even if they are relegated Coyle will still be sought after and if he leaves, they won't bounce back and could go back to where they were 3 or 4 years ago- a lower mid table championship side!
  • We are doing a Leicester again (hope)
  • Got to be Hull. Heard on the radio that they have the 7th highest wage bill in the Premiership!! Not sure how they managed to get themselves in that position given the players they have.
  • [cite]Posted By: The Red Robin[/cite]Liverpool! ;)

    Yes yes yes a thounsdand times yes please :-) realistically though Hull back were they deserve to be.
  • For the love of God and football let it be Hull.
    Ever since they kicked lumps out of us (Ashby mainly I think it was) I hate them and want to see them smashed into the ground!
