Has there been a season when all the newly promoted clubs avoided relegation?

Just looking at the last Martinez season...
...there was a stampede to get Martinez the sack after the 2-3 home defeat against WHU (when Mirallas was sent off half an hour into it and Lukaku missed a pen to make it 3-0 for us). Here's the table from that day:
...and this was it when he was sacked the week after the cup SF defeat to United....
...imagine sacking mangers for being 10 points off the drop zone and 12th.
That's when the sickness began for this club. The first act of idiocy from Moshiri....and now he's brought us to this situation.

He picked up 6 points in 8 games with the team he had tbf.
I liked Martinez but we were getting worse every season under him

Davek is right (stopped clocks etc)…
I really worry this season though. Last season? I never thought we’d go down. Now? I think there’s a real chance, and it’s painful…

Are the parachute payments no longer a thing ?
To be fair Martinez had lost the plot and its easy to look back with rose tinted glasses. He was getting worse season after season and look at the team we had then compared to the team we have now. Chalk and cheese. That was a top 6 or 7 squad and he had us around 12th to 11th and getting worse. I agree Moshiri has made plenty of mistakes but getting shot of bobby brown shoes was not one of them.
We lost the plot when we sold Lukaku and brought about million slow paced no 10's and have never recovered from that.

If the aim of the club was merely to avoid relegation, then you are right, Dave. Sacking a manager for being 10 points off the drop zone and 12th was indeed madness.
But we both know that was not the aim in 2014 after finishing fifth the year before and competing in Europe.
Some people accuse generals of fighting the last war. You're fighting the Napoleonic Wars, Dave.

Not that much worse: from season two to season three we went from an 11th place finish and last 16 run in the Europa Cup to 12th place (when he was sacked) and two cup SF runs.
No one will ever persuade me that he wouldn't have done a hell of a lot better than that fat headed fraud Koeman with £200M to spend.
