        Leicester at least are probably the strong team to get relegated in years - so can absolutely see them coming back up

          I think there’s an argument for the best team to ever get relegated honestly.

            Brendan exiled Soyuncu and Vestergaard (who, to be fair, was pretty widely mocked by fans).

            He insisted on playing Danny Ward in goal when he was absolutely gash.

            He didn’t give Iheanacho enough of a shot up front.

            Couple that with the fact that we basically unable to sign players for two windows. We signed average players onto long contracts when the going was good assuming that we’d have european football to pay for them. Then we goofed european qualification three years in a row (first to the CL, then the Europa, then to the Conference), so now we’ve got these terrible players (Daniel Amartey, Perez etc etc) on these big contracts and not the bucks to back them up, so there’s no space in the wage budget to bring anyone in.

            Couple that with injuries and the Brendan exiles and suddenly we’re playing Ndidi in central defense (when Maresca is basically playing him as an attacking midfielder).

              We bottled the top 4 twice in the last matchday in a row, once against man united and once vs chelsea, felt so terrible

              Vestergaard is revisionism. He was horrible, at least whenever I watched him. And as you said, not a single Leicester fan liked him

    Middlesbrough in the league under Carrick are 20-2-4 in the period from the start of October to the end of March, and 4-4-9 in April, May, August and September, plus a loss and a draw in the playoffs.

    Conclusion - Michael Carrick is a vampire that can only do well when it isn’t sunny

    Clearly the top 2 are sorted already unless they implode, Ipswich will finish top though I think.

    Wednesday going down unless a miracle happens.
