Would they? I would hate to play Big Sam's Bolton, Coleman's Fulham, McLarens Boro (Uefa final a year later) and Hughes's Blackburn a lot more than any current team below the Wolves/Everton/Leicester trio.Remember all the weird signings they made around that time? Scott Parker, Jiri Jarosik, Alexi Smertin, Del Horno. Then Steve Sidwell & Tal Ben Haim a few years later. What the feck were they thinking?
The league overall was far weaker. The midtable teams of today would batter the midtable teams of 04-05. There was far more cannon fodder back then.
The relegation battling sides back then we're pretty rancid though, most would probably get mid teens in this era.
