Hammarby?

Hammarby suffered the embarresment of being relegated this year but was it a surprise. The club hailing from Stockholm and have very passionate fans will see 2009 as one of the worst seasons in the club's history. The Soderstadion side were expected to be up and arround the European places but ended up going down.
Not only going down but Hammarby finished bottom of the league. This time last year the club finished in 9th place which many felt was disappointing. Players such as Charlie Davies, Louay Chanko and Petter Andersson were still around but all were sold durring 2008 as Hammarby's financial position got worse.

Problems:
The Financial problems have played a massive part in the relegation but the club didn't replace the likes of Charlie Davies or Louay Chanko properly. Relegation might be what the club needs to get back on track but when looking at club that suffered similar feats in Sweden and abroad it will take time.

Examples:
Looking abroad clubs have bounced back but some have taking time to get back while other are still on the recovery road.
Looking no further than Leeds United. Hammarby didn't spend anywhere near as much but Leeds got relegated in 2004 from the top level and three years later were relegated from the Championship and are still some way off a recovery.
In Spain an example of a club like Hammarby would be Real Zaragoza. in 2007-08 the club had a squad capable of reaching the Champions League but ended up going down. Similar to Hammarby.
Others include Altay in Turkey, Parma and Fiorentina in Italy. All these clubs had suffered financial problems.
