Championship 24/25

[JHRover]

So by my count Sunderland the 25th different club that has won promotion to the Premier League, some more than once (Dingles done it 4 times) since we were removed from it by these owners, and since when we have managed to avoid so much as a top 6 finish at this level in return for their 'investment'.

It's almost impressive.

Wolves did ok when they switched manager and he'd got his feet under the table, lost a few recently but only after they confirmed safety.

Brighton had a good season for the most part they just seem to be frustratingly inconsistent which meant they just missed out on the top 6.

Palace had a solid second half to the season, but if they lose a few it may affect them next time out.

Bournemouth may struggle, fell apart around Feb time.

Surprised you haven't listed West Ham, they'll be down there unless they throw a sizeable amount of cash at next season and actually use it wisely for once.

It is just what I think. The season gone has little or no relevance to next season. I don't expect Manure or Spuds to be near the bottom. I think the Irons will be blowing bubbles around mid table.

Four seasons, Forest the year before Luton.

Imagine if our seasons hadn't been routinely sabotaged half way through.

Forest spent well over 10 million under Hughton, had a bad start to the season and Cooper took them up.

As Matty says above, its not impossible, as the teams above prove, but its a tough ask and the gap is getting bigger in my opinion.

I think, Palace, Brighton, Bournemouth and Wolves,as well as the three promoted clubs, may be in the relegation battle next season.

Brentford and Bournemouth are always in danger of relegation , one bad season is all it takes and those 2 teams especially Brentford are due one .

The top 4 championship teams had the highest squad values. 

The lowest squad value of any surviving Premier league team is still double that of any of the promoted teams.

All the relegated prem teams have higher squad values than the promoted teams

There's the gap

If you offered Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland a fourth bottom finish now I'm sure they would snap your hand off.

One bad season is was it used to take, but this season has shown that the promoted three are often so bad it just isn’t the case anymore.

The parachute money used to be to cushion a club after it spent big trying to compete in the pem.

Now clubs go up, lube up and bend over and come back down £150 million richer.
