My personal pick, Blackburn in 95/96, didn't even make the list lol

They were offered zidane and dugarry that summer they were champions . They turned them both down .

Ray harford

Huddersfield Town in the Top Division as well, before they fell down the football pyramid

.....they were decent in yesteryear. Shankly was manager and I think we got Ray Wilson from there. Dennis Law might have played for them around that time.

Look no further than that. Resources available to add to a team out of sight the previous season and he drives it over a cliff.

Add to the fact fergie had it set up for Rooney to leave because you just know he started the muttering among the players.

Erm, can someone change the thread title to 'Worst Premiership Title Defences'?

I could but let's not - footie existed before the PL.

This current Chelsea side is a good candidate.

He had a backroom staff in place also. All the divvy had to do was to say to Phelan: "Terry, same again please. I'll sit in for a season". Not wor Davy though: out go the winners, in comes Phil Neville, Chris Woods and that friggin beaut with the headset.

Ginger bollocks - the biggest onfield disaster Man Utd have endured since being relegated by Dennis Law.
