Ian Holloway took Leicester down with 52 points from The Championship a few years ago - think that's the record at least as far as this division goes in its present 24-team, 3 teams down format. That has to be smashed this year.
Are we safe yet?
Might not be enough. My predicted bottom nine now looks like this:-55 points needed
I can't be bothered to work it all out, but with teams below us needing to take points off of others to leapfrog us we must be safe by now with 60 points
I heard earlier today that anywhere up to eighth can still mathematically go down, which suggest we're safe. I know there's only one team at the moment who on their own can't catch us, but it's a bit more complicated, because not every team can win all of their remaining games. e.g. Peterborough and Sheffield Wednesday still have to play each other, so they can't both get all their remaining points.
As for highest points, in 95/96 and 2007/08 the team in the third relegation spot went down with 52 points, I doubt that's an all time high, but it's the highest in the last twenty years in the championship.
