Ramsdales Black Series: Descent With Southampton The Third In Six Years

Approaches negative record

Aaron Ramsdale rose from the Premier League with FC Southampton on weekends. With ten points from 31 games, the Saints play one of the worst seasons in the history of the English upper house. In addition to the catastrophic team statistics, it is noteworthy that the 26 -year -old national keeper of England is on the best way to stop the record number of descents from the Premier League if he does not make good decisions in terms of his next change.

AFC Bournemouth 2020, Sheffield United 2021 and now Southampton 2025 will make three descents in six years – interrupted by two runner -up championships and the cup victory with Arsenal. At Bournemouth and Sheffield, he received more than 60 goals. At Southampton he is currently on the way there with 54. In the top 5 leagues, no player has had an even blacker series since Ramsdal’s first relegation. Tim Krul with Norwich and Luton (2020, 2022, 2024), Christoph Zimmermann with Norwich and Darmstadt (2020, 2022, 2024), Roque Mesa with Leganés and Valladolid (2020, 2021, 2023) and Álex Pozo with RCD Mallorca, SD EIABLE and UD Almería (2020, 2021, 2024) Since then, have also relegated three times – even in a shorter interval.

In order to achieve the negative record in the Premier League, Ramsdale would have to go into the second class twice in the course of his further career. This fate has only experienced this fate five times in the English elite league, Hermann Hreidarsson, Ben Foster and Krul. With Ramsdales Saints replacement man Alex McCarthy it is unclear whether he was registered for readings league operations after his loan to Cambridge United 2007/08. The time in the university city ended in April 2008, Reading relegated from the Premier League a few weeks later. If this is the case, the 35-year-old has now relegated for the fifth time.

The French ex-professional Benjamin Nivet holds the relegation record in the transfer market database from Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, Laliga and Ligue 1 between 2003 and 2018. Four or more abrasion from the top leagues were available for at least 60 professionals in this millennium. (five times), Georg Koch, Matthias Scherz, Matthias Lehmann or René Rydlewicz (four times each).
