Just reading about Bournemouth's rout of Fulham last night, and looked at the bottom of the Championship table - makes frightening reading with Bolton, Reading, Fulham, Wigan and Blackpool all in the bottom 8. Obviously these are teams that were all in the PL just a few years ago.
Coupled with the likes of Derby, Forest, Blackburn & Leeds who all have spent most/a lot of their recent history in the PL but are now really just 'ordinairy' Championship level clubs, it just makes you realise what a greasy pole relegation is at the moment and how hard it is to get back.
I would say that most of these are all similar sized clubs to us too.
Fair play JP - keep waving that magic wand!
