Know it’s not our worry but Championship is going to be difficult to call next season.
Three relegated teams with money to burn.
Dirty Leeds have plenty of players to sell and parachute payments to get them past their financial difficulties.
Middlesbrough, WBA and Coventry will be strong.
Watford a bit of a wild card so who knows?
QPR and Wendies finished well and both seem to have found a good coach if they can hold on to them.
Pompey and Derby will hope to carry their momentum on from promotion.
Sunderland might get it right at last
Can’t think missed anyone of note

Hull only just missed out on the playoffs. I think their potency next season will be disproportionately influenced by whether they can hang on to Philogene.
There's certainly no other team in East Anglia who will be a threat :) |  | | |

Millwall were resurgent to say the least.
Think it'll be similar to what we experienced, competing against 3 strong teams with parachute money and expensive squads. |  | | |

"Can't think missed anyone of note."
Probably Hull, Preston, Cardiff and Bristol City in the mix. Millwall, Stoke and Swansea an outside chance. Blackburn and Oxford other possibilities.
Can't think of anyone else who stands a chance really. |  |

Aren't Hull a bit screwed by FFP? They have no parachute payments and seemed like they spent a ton last season. |  | | |

Coventry look a player or two away from being top class. It all depends on who they retain and replace.
My wildcard would be Sheff Wednesday. |  | | |

I think Luton will be very strong next season. With Leeds it all depends how many of their better players they can hold onto and this time they’ll need to start well.
So those and the usual few teams just behind. |  | | |

For me, top 6 will be:-
Leeds

WBA
Luton
Burnley
Coventry
Budgies around 11th | | | |

Last year's relegated trio were established PL clubs with strong teams that they by and large kept together and sensibly added to with the extra money that they had to burn compared to others. I can't see the three coming down this year being anywhere near as strong.
I was surprised by Middlesbrough this season as I thought they would've been right up there, but I think another year wiser Carrick will have them up there. Coventry will be strong again I expect, if Hull had kept Rosenior but I sense that their owners may mess it up for them. QPR seem a really strong team now, dare I say it Norwich will have to sell but will probably still be chasing and my dark horses are Sheffield Wednesday. Watford perhaps too and it'll be interesting to see Bristol City with Manning in from the start.
All with the caveat that I don't know what I'm talking about and had us finishing midtable this season, so who knows?! | |

Hadn’t Boro a huge amount of injuries throughout the season? They’ll be stronger next season for sure. | | | |

It will be a tough league but then it always is.
I would argue it won’t be as tough as this season though. Southampton, Leeds and Leicester were a very difficult proposition given their history, stature and the length of time spent in the Prem.
Burnley weren’t as good as any of those 3 teams when they walked the Championship two years ago and I doubt they will be as strong next season.
Sheff Utd are a mess at the moment and Luton are probably unlikely to have the same success.
I certainly don’t see the top four getting the same number of points as they did this season.
You would expect Leeds to run away with it but I imagine there will be a bit more bunching. | | | |

Leicester are allegedly looking at Farke as their new manager which could be interesting for Leeds | | | |

That’s my top 6 as well.
I think the other end of the table is really hard to call. Oxford will struggle I think as will Blackburn if they lose Smodics. Don’t know what to make of Plymouth under Rooney. He could be a good fit there | |

Taking off my blue blinkers for a moment, trying to be balanced and unbiased.
There's no way that those w@nkers will be anywhere near top 6 next season! | | | |
