And?

What's your point? Why were each of these teams relegated? Were they all prudent, but caught out? Gambled and failed? QPR left the Premiership in 1996 for f**ks sake, Barnsley in 1998. What's that got to do with anything? And why exactly have you included five teams that HAVEN'T been relegated in a post called "a list of clubs in recent times that have gone down"? Curious and v v poor.
