One of 4 (soon to be 5) clubs to win the Premier League was relegated this morning.

yeah they got relegated just a few seasons after winning the prem if I remember correctly...

I wanna say two seasons after, but I'm not sure...

Won it in 94-95. Don't know when they went down but they came back up in 2001 along with Fulham and Bolton.

New candidate - Gamba Osaka.

Relegated yesterday from the J-League, 4 years after being champions of Asia.

I wonder if any other continental champion has been relegated within 5 years of winning that title?

Bump.

Portsmouth - gone from winning the FA Cup and playing great clubs like Milan in Europe, to League Two with a ten point deduction.

They were talking a couple of days ago, now that the club has been taking over by the supporter group, that the penalty would be deducted from this years total rather than start them off at -10 next.

Haven't seen an update on that.

It's quite a fall though.
