...done a bit of probing on my own and came up with the following :-

 

Of  the  twenty clubs in  the Premier, eleven are products of the playoffs in the last ten years.

 

 Significantly with the exception of Bolton ( in 7^th place) they occupy the bottom 10 places.

 

The remaining nine, “long serving clubs”, with the exception of Southampton (18^th) are the top 10.

 

Of thirty promoted clubs, thirteen were relegated the same year (43%), and three lasted two years.

 

Only once have all three promoted clubs gone down same year, (1996/7).

 

Only  three times has the Div1 champions been relegated  same year. The last time was in 1997/98, laceName>NottslaceName> laceType>ForestlaceType>

 

The most likely clubs to be relegated are the play off winners, 7 times (70%)
