What, you never heard of this? Any theories for Sheff Wed and Fulham's struggles this season? Were you one of those who said in here that Fulham, if they somehow kept the same manager, and kept Sessignon, would walk this league this season?
the fact that the word 'often' was used....
go through all the playoff teams and give me a number (%) that struggled
(anecdotally) I can see that...
Ipswich were in the runnings 4 years in a row
Tranmere 3 times in a row
Leicester 3 times in a row
Birmingham 3 times in a row
.....etc etc
