The truth is that many teams fold, go into liquidation or drop several levels due to refinancing or takeover bids so sometimes teams come up to replace teams that have quite simply disappeared. At Premier League and Football League level we have not seen a disappearing trick for many seasons now.
Today I am going to look at teams in the danger zone as many of them are teams I have followed in the past few seasons. I may gloss over the top few levels but they will all get a mention.
Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are at the foot of the Premier League but the surprise relegation candidate is Everton. They were one of the founding members of the Football League and have been at the top level since 1954 but there is a risk of that long run being terminated.
The Championship has Bolton Wanderers in the danger zone along with Sunderland who seem to be in free fall. Sunderland always have a habit of leaving it late although last season they left it too late. Burton Albion are the team who need a big mention as they were in the National League (Football Conference) as late as 2008-09 before moving into and up the Football League. They may have reached their pinnacle but I always support teams that have come a long way.
League One sees Plymouth Argyle at the foot of the table. As they are the big local rivals to Exeter I hear a lot about them and it would be funny to hear of them dropping as Exeter go up but the season is long and there will be many twists and turns on the way.
At the foot of the Football League are two teams I know nothing about and I refuse to find out at this stage of the evening. Morecambe are in touch with the teams above them but Chesterfield (the place of the twisted spire) seem to be losing touch.
I shall stop there and produce a part two where there are teams that interest me more.
