Burnley 100 points...

...to gain promotion last season, yet are now almost certainly doomed to an immediate relegation return. 100 points !! - a mind boggling tally which you would assume might give a reasonable chance up there. Nope.

I guess Premier League money is the major benefit, but makes you think is that what it's all about . A promotion run is a nice appetizer though, there is that.

But I will happily settle for some enjoyable football given recent years fare.

Leeds and especially Sunderland seem to be bucking the trend this season.

All about recruitment once promoted these days.

Sunderland obviously have a really good manager but they pretty much brought in a new 1st XI in the summer.

Leeds have surprised me (I thought the Farke would default to negative pepball). Sunderland have astonished me. They'll slide over the next 3 months and they'll be down the bottom next year though. Florist will be lucky to spawn another season. Even if you go up and do well for a few seasons, your number is on a bullet. Wolves for sure and if not Florist, then Spam or maybe Fulham.

Yes you're right, your number is written on a bullet soon as you're up. .but also makes you admire Bournemouth (4 yrs), Brighton (9 yrs) and Brentford ( 5 yrs)...and still going well.

Our 7 yrs were also quite remarkable when you think on it.
