  1. The cost of the drop

    A drop down into the Championship from the Premier League is estimated to cost relegated clubs between £40m and £50m in lost revenue.

    And with the Premier League's bumper new television rights deal coming in in 2016-17, anything less than an immediate return will be very, very costly.

    Those are the financial sums. What about the table mathematics?

  2. How times change

    In September Hull broke their transfer record for a second time in a matter of months, bringing in Abel Hernandez for £10m, hot on the heels of the £8m permanent deal for Jake Livermore.

    Steve Bruce said that the signings showed "just how far the club has come in such a short space of time".

    In November, Newcastle - who had just dumped Manchester City out of the League Cup - won a fifth successive Premier League game as they beat QPR to move into the top five.

    A grinning Alan Pardew hailed it as a "terrific performance" that gave them hope they could push even further up the table.

    Come May and both are staring down the relegation barrel.
