It just goes to show it can happen to anybody. Big transfers are great but only aslong as you can afford it. Leeds thats right im talking about you.

I'm sorry but a 3/4 year period of success (however grand) in a 100-odd year history does not make a big club - merely a lucky one.
Jens - I know this sounds a bit mad, ahem, but I'm sure qpr finished second one year. Still nothing more than a jumped up third division club.

yeah there are some really scummy clubs trying to get into the premiership this year. Most of them will auto-relegate

Ah, you're right. In their first run they were second in 1975/1976. I was looking at their 11 year run from 1983/1984 to 1995/1996.

Glad you found that. Wasn't sure if I was going senile!
I can also remember Ipswich being second a couple of times, and both Watford and Southampton making it to second in the early 80's.

1979/1980 Ipswich were third, and in 1980/1981 & 1981-1982 they were second. They won the thing in their first season in the First Division, 1961/1962! 1982/1983 Watford were second, and this was their first ever First Division season. 1983/1984 Southampton finished second which is their best ever finish to date.

A sad, sad day. Made sadder by the fact that a much smaller club than them will probably win the Premiership tonight.

yeah football is a fickle business. you just never know whats around the corner; really highlights how spoiled weve been the past decade or so.

And to think, in 1995 they finished 3rd and we finished 12th. I don't disagree that football is a fickle business dawn, but in this case it is a clear example of poor management, misplaced priorities and financial tomfoolery.
Sad state of affairs.

agreed ally. why, if youre in a relegation fight, you sell two of your best players is beyond me. if you need to cash in thats fine, but surely you can try and arrange to keep them until the end of the season.

Very true, but still a very sad day, Big clubs like them and Sheff Wednesday shouldnt be in the third tier of English football.

Made up for Chelsea winning the league imo. I have a mate who used to harp on about how great Forest were, now he's quiet. Excellent stuff.

Impermanence.
No team has a privileged right to continue playing at the top. Every team has to continually earn it each and every season. Nottingham Forest FC could not do it. Good luck to them in their efforts to rebuild.
