Newcastle (2009) The Magpies dropped out of the Premier League for the first time in 20 years in what was one of the most shocking relegations in recent history. Schalke (2023) Schalke, one of Germany's biggest and best-supported teams, sleepwalked towards relegation for several seasons but that didn't make their eventual demise any less shocking.
