Everton were pushing for a Europa League spot after investing nearly £500 million in their first-team squad.Now they're staring relegation in the face, and are on the brink of joining an infamous group of top flight teams who made the supposedly impossible happen - for all the wrong reasons.With that in mind, here are seven Premier League sides who got relegated despite being 'too good to go down'.Perhaps the most well-known example, it really was a crime against nature that a team with as many gems in it as West Ham had could finish in the bottom three.They had Joe Cole, Michael Carrick, Paolo Di Canio Jermain Defoe, Freddy Kanoute, Glen Johnson, David James, Trevor Sinclair … and it's little wonder they finished as high as seventh the season before - two places short of a club-record fifth.A torrid start to the season set the tone and the Hammers found themselves bottom at Christmas and unable to escape the calamity they'd created for themselves.Manager Glen Roeder fell ill in April and was replaced temporarily by Trevor Brooking, but by then the writing was on the wall.They were relegated on the final day, and in the summer the vultures came for their best and brightest.If Everton get relegated this season, will they be the worst of the lot? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...A year after West Ham's humiliating implosion, Leeds United followed suit.Three seasons earlier they were in the semi-final of the Champions League, but financial mismanagement saw them rack up debts of over £100 million.In an attempt to stop the rot they sold the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Robbie Keane, Robbie Fowler, Jonathan Woodgate and Harry Kewell, sparking a complete nosedive in the club's form, and by early 2004 they

No - I've not decided, I give my best and then we will see what happens next season."Do you think Mbappe will stay at PSG? Let us know in the comments sectionWhile, his boss, Mauricio Pochettino added: "Hopefully Mbappe stays here for many years."Mbappe's current PSG deal runs out in the summer, and he's been heavily linked with a switch to Real.But PSG are reportedly ready to offer their star man a new bumper deal.
