most ex premier teams seem to struggle if they dont bounce back up in the first season e.g. charlton, southampton, watford heres hoping sheff utd
it's simply the loss of the payments from the Premier League most keep on the big wage earners and hope they bounce straight back-it's the reason Beattie was offloaded this season-he was taking -I think I heard correctly-40% of their wage bill !!!
it wasn't 40% but it was a lot. He was on £30,000 a week and the next biggest earner was Paddy Kenny on £10,000 a week.
