Rory Smith, chief Soccer Correspondent for The Athletic, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live about how promoted teams can stay up: "You need to find a couple of jewels to hang everything on," he said. "You also need one of those teams - West Ham, Everton, Crystal Palace, Brentford or Wolves - to do everything wrong."

For Southampton, they went from having someone like Russell Martin in charge who has a specific style of football. Then, bringing in a coach like Ivan Juric is a huge gear change.

To suddenly try and change mid-season is almost impossible because it means a club has no real pattern in what they want to achieve.

Southampton panicked and spent a load of money over the odds. Nottingham Forest did the same, they gambled but got away with it. Sometimes it does work which makes other clubs think that they can do the same. Clubs come into the Premier League and think they have to spend and they end up spending very badly. Southampton spent money on players that were frankly, sub-standard.

An idea from Adam in Sheffield on how to fix the growing gap between the Premier League and the Championship.

But what do you think? Would it work?

The same can be said for the number of teams bouncing straight back to the Premier League following relegation to the Championship

While the numbers aren't quite as high as those in the previous post, they are still significant, and are once again growing.

Over the last 15 years, 33% of teams relegated from the Premier League immediately earned promotion back the following year.

That number has increased to 37% over the last 10 years.

As it stands, two of the three of last season's relegated teams in Burnley and Sheffield United are on course for automatic promotion back into the Premier League for 2025-26.

There has always been a bit of yoyo effect between the Premier League and Championship but the numbers have increased further in recent years.

Over the last 15 years, 42% of teams promoted to the Premier League from the Championship were relegated after just one season in the top flight.

That number has increased to 50% over the course of the last 10 years.

All three promoted teams rarely stay up, but it did happen as recently as 2022-2023 with Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest and Fulham retaining their status.

Before that we saw Brighton, Huddersfield and Newcastle do so in 2017-18.

Stats exclude Southampton who have recently been relegated.

What's life like at the bottom of the Premier League?

• Last night's defeat to Newcastle makes it eight home games in a row without a goal for Leicester
• Southampton the fastest club ever to be relegated from the Premier League
• Ipswich are on their longest home losing streak since 1963.

Technically all still to play for, but with 12 points between the bottom three and Wolves, it's more of a gulf than a gap.

So how are you feeling, then? I'm talking to Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton fans. Is that you, and if so what is your mood right now?

These are clubs with a long history and the silverware to go with it. So, what's gone wrong? Who are you blaming - the club or the system? What glimmers of hope are you seeing.

Talk to me about the journey - life at the bottom of the Premier League?

If you are just joining us, we have been discussing where it has been going wrong for Leicester after yesterday's 3-0 defeat to Newcastle:

• Who tops Leicester's goals? The Foxes have only scored 25 goals this season, the second-lowest tally behind relegated Southampton
• Are goals a confidence thing? Is Leicester's goal drought down to a lack of confidence for players, as Ruud van Nistelrooy suggests? , external
• Would Leicester have stayed up if they had stuck with Steve Cooper as manager?

Stay with us as we continue to look at Leicester's poor performance this season as well as looking ahead to Arsenal's Champions League clash against Real Madrid. Also, you can watch 5Live's Nicky Campbell show live on this page shortly as he looks at life at the bottom of the Premier League.

Once Harvey Barnes scored Newcastle's third goal, Leicester fans at King Power Stadium started to flood out of their ground.

That goal came in the 34th minute.....

Let us know how quickly and why the stadium emptied so quickly if you attended please...

The capacity of the ground is 32,261, with 30,403 attending last night.

Have fans had enough?

Leicester City

We've already mentioned Leicester's last Premier League goal(s) against Tottenham Hotspur in January.

But to delve further into the struggles - here are a few of the numbers since they last found the net:

• Time: 12 hours 0 minutes
• Shots: 52
• Expected goals: 2.81
• Goals conceded: 21

Data from Sky Sports

Leicester City

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking to Sky Sports on his side not scoring for eight successive home games: "It shows. It's a confidence thing. In the second half you can see when there is no pressure anymore it frees people up. Then you see some reasonable football. When the pressure is on it becomes very difficult. With an early couple of goals it collapses."

Van Nistelrooy knows a thing about Premier League goals, he bagged 95 in 150 league games for Manchester United.

Is it just me who is delighted at The Foxes demise after the way they treated Steve Cooper? Seems like he’s hardly getting a mention but they were 16th when he was finally given the chop (the fans wanted him gone earlier), and he would’ve given them a much better chance of staying up. How many Leicester fans would admit this might have been the wrong decision?

Leicester have scored 25 goals this season, which is the second-lowest tally behind Southampton (23).

That equates to 0.81 goals per match - less than a goal per game!

The Foxes have created 40 big chances in the Premier League this season, with 38-year-old Jamie Vardy topping the team's league goals this terms with seven.

Striker Jordan Ayew and 20-year-old attacker Facundo Buonanotte are the next highest on four.

Overall Leicester have a Premier League xG of 2.81 this season and have taken 52 shots, conceding 21 goals.

If you are just joining us…good morning!

Here's what we have been discussing this morning:

• Have Leicester reached a new low? Their 3-0 defeat to Newcastle solidifies a woeful season for Ruud Van Nistelrooy's side
• Leicester's Jeremy Monga becomes the Premier League's second youngest player as he makes his debut at 15 years and 271 days old
• Leicester's never-ending goal drought - The Foxes are the first Premier League side to lose eight successive home league games without scoring

Stick with us as we continue to delve into Monday night's defeat to Newcastle and focus on where it's been going wrong.

Leicester fans, how are you feeling? Where do you go from here? Should you have sacked Steve Cooper and can there be a better future at the club for Ruud van Nistelrooy? Get in touch:

Leicester City

Leicester's last Premier League goal came in a 2-1 win over Tottenham on 26 January. That means Ruud van Nistelrooy's side have drawn a blank in eight successive league games, which equates to 12 hours of football.

Only Crystal Palace in January 1995 have endured a longer run in the competition's history (nine games).
