Granted, West Brom seem to be a major talking point every few days at the moment. For a club of this size, relegation to League One almost certainly fits the cliche of "they are too big to go down". This is a club that has only ever been relegated to the third tier once before. Unless the Baggies can stem the flow, starting at home to Stoke on Saturday (kick-off 15:01 GMT), they will be on course for their worst season since 1999-2000 when they finished 21st in Division One (now the Championship). Otherwise only the third-ever season in the third tier may be on the horizon.
