Easy Come, Easy Go

One day you're the FA Cup winners.

Three days later, you've become the first FA Cup winners to be relegated in the same season, putting your eight-year stay in the Premier League to an end.

WOLVES MAKE HISTORY

Not exactly the kind of history they had in mind, though.

It's not every day you see a club suffer back-to-back relegations from the top flight to the third division of English soccer.

Here's something that's never been done before.  A club suffering back-to-back relegations from the top flight---twice.

As An Old Philosopher Once Said..........

When you lie down with pigs, you wake up smelling like garbage.

That's what both clubs looked like as both clinched relegation following a snoozy 0-0 draw on Sunday.

Saints Relegated To League One

England's Football Association on Thursday imposed a 10-point penalty on League Championship club Southhampton under the FA's insolvency rules.

This means that the Saints, who were playing in the Premiership as recently as 2005, will begin play next season in League One, or the third division of English soccer.

Gretna Soap Opera: Talk About Your Relegations

Greta FC, which was recently relegated from Scotland's premier league, was further relegated two steps further down on Thursday to the fourth level of Scottish soccer:

An offer from football agent Paul Davies has been made for the club, which is currently under consideration, but should the club be saved it will have to start next season in the lowest tier of league football again.

It represents a massive drop for the crisis club, which went into administration in March, and offers promotion lifelines to Airdrie United - who will step up to Division One - and Stranraer, who move up to Division Two.

SFL chief executive David Longmuir said Gretna's administrators had not been able to guarantee the club would be able to fulfil its fixtures.

"We and the SFL had to make sure we protected the integrity of our league,"

"There was no commitment from the administrator that Gretna could fulfil the fixtures at all in the coming season, which means we had to do what we thought was right for our league."



If they don't clean their act soon, they will either be expelled from the football (soccer) league or go out of business.
