    Quick Analysis of the last seven seasons of promoted and relegated sides int he premeir league

    Monday, May 25, 2009, 11:17 AM EST [English Championship]

    So based on memory I thought typically only one team that got promoted to the premier league immediately dropped back down to the championship.  So I decided to compile a list of all promoted and relegated teams starting in 2001-2002.  I chose only this date range because this is as far back as soccernet.com goes and I didn't want to have to do any more research.

     

    Based on these seven seasons three of those only had a team returning back to the championship after only one season in the premier league.  So based on my assumption that the majority of promoted teams stay more than one year in the premier league, I was wrong, because four of the seven seasons had two recently promoted clubs dropping back down.  You will also notice in the last seven seasons, that there has not been a case of all three promoted teams finishing in the bottom third the following year.  Although Sunderland was close to pulling this off in the 2007-2008 season.

    I used red to signify teams being relegated after one season
