Next years Championship team make-up

Which has a very close relationship with ultimate league position historically

Ipswich promoted to PL, scum being relegated. Plenty more examples to contradict that.

Hence the close relationship - not exact correlation.
Are you betting against the teams with parachute payments??

I have to say that it looks a stronger league, but a more competitive and even one if that’s possible! You’re not gonna have a Leeds or Burnley who were streets ahead of everyone. Even Sheff Utd won’t have a season like the one they’ve just had. We’ve got as good a chance as maybe 12-15 other clubs.

Where are Cardiff

They're starting their preparations for the European Super League, to give Barcelona, PSG and Liverpool a bit of competition

Someone needs to provide competition for those 3 and I know for a fact all the Cardiff fans think they can put them in their place.

Delusional swim aways

Did you all see that Cardiff trust statement. Met with board and board told them they can not make a single decision. Only Tan makes a decision. wth. Whats the point of having a board

It's hard to tell how the clubs coming down will do. Burnley regrouped quickly and went straight back up. Sheffield United nearly did it too. But Luton imploded.

I think Ipswich probably look best placed to challenge. Leicester look a mess, I don't know where they go next, I think they're in much worse nick than when they came down 2 years ago. Saints, hard to tell how they will do, the new coach is an unknown quantity in English football.

Wrexham and Birmingham I would expect to fare a lot better than the teams who went down. Charlton I'm not so sure.

Overall, I think the division is probably slightly harder next year, mainly because of the top two coming up and the cash behind them.

It'll probably be the same old Championship, where you can look at any number of clubs pre-season and think they'll be really strong and it's going to be really tough, then as the games go on, you realize everyone bar 1-2 at the top and 1-2 at the bottom is standard issue Championship bi-polar bang-average and there's not much to fear at all except your own clubs ability to self-destruct.

I’m not convinced with Wrexham… they seem to be targeting more over the hill players again. I think it will catch up with them.

They’re linked to Cairney (34), Vardy (38) and Cresswell (35) - Wrexham will be like Care Home FC.

I’m not sure Jay Rodriquez types will cut it in the championship now… they’re going for Peart Harris too, who was extremely underwhelming in my opinion.

 

[Ringwood]

They are linked with everyone probably unsettling players with their media hype.

They're every agents dream, especially those with old and out of contract players. Leak to the press and ITK types that moneybags Wrexham (or Birmingham) want your client and put pressure on interested clubs to make an offer/up their existing offer.
