![1). Derby County, 2007-08, Last, 11 points - The Rams returned to the top division via the playoffs, but they never got close to the standard of the Premier League. They won just once, against Newcastle, a result that was sandwiched between a 6-0 loss to Liverpool and 5-0 defeat against Arsenal.

Sunderland, 2005-06, Last, 15 points - Mick McCarthy, Kevin Ball and Niall Quinn all had a go at managing Sunderland during this troubled campaign, but none could right the ship for a side who had come up as champions.

![3). Watford, 1999-2000, Last, 24 points - Nick Wright’s overhead kick to set up a playoff final win over Bolton Wanderers is the favourite memory of many a Watford fan. Might as well skirt over the season that followed, though. It was a shocker.

![4). Fulham, 2018-19, 19th, 26 points - Fulham spent a whopping £100 million on new signings before last season, having gone up via the playoffs in a season when Ryan Sessegnon emerged as a star. They still went straight back down, though.

![5). West Bromwich Albion, 2002-03, 19th, 26 points - The Baggies came up as runners up – just as they may do again this season – but Gary Megson’s side fell straight back, with only Sunderland worse off than them.

![6). Leicester City, 1994-95, Second last , 29 points - After two play-off final defeats, Leicester returned to the top tier via that route. Their spell in the Premier League was short-lived, though, as they finished second-bottom – two points ahead of Ipswich Town.

![7). Swindon Town, 1993-94, Last, 30 points - Finally reached the top flight after 73 years of trying – and three years after being denied promotion due to financial irregularities.
