    If it’s a one-off game between two teams with home advantage to the higher team that could work.
    Could also give teams between 13th - 17th a reason to not just head to the beach in April if they have a 15 point gap over the relegation zone.
    Teams like Wolves and Fulham this season are already on the beach.

    Having the biggest budget in the league is no means a guarantee of success. Look at ourselves at Championship level under Mel, or Man Utd in the PL.
    It does help though.
    Anything other than promotion this season would have been a disappointment and arguably an underachievement.
    Especially given that there was no Ipswich, Sunderland or Sheff Wed this time around.
    The true test of Warne’s coaching ability will come next season.

    I think this must be a major factor. High Wycombe is very well connected to London, just 20 miles from Windsor and 30 miles from central London, and almost counts as a London club nowadays. If you're a billionaire owner and a multimillionaire player, you might well prefer picking somewhere in the affluent Thames Valley west of London, rather than go south of the river to places like Charlton/Palace/Millwall.

    Do they have a lot of potential being a southern club? Can’t say I’m familiar with Wycombe and its surrounding areas.
    If you are a billionaire, and want to put money into a club, I see Charlton as a prime opportunity. London club, 27k stadium but looks like it could expand to higher.
    Top players want to play in London. It’s the only reason the likes of Palace and Fulham are comfortable PL clubs. If they were located in the midlands they would be lower Championship clubs.

    The Premier League is the best league in the world, due to having the best managers and coaches.
    There was a time when every body was claiming the PL was the best in the world, but it really wasn’t.
    La Liga was the best between 2009-15. That six year spell had 3 of the best 5 teams in Europe, while the likes of Sevilla, Valencia and Athletic Bilbao were better than the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd.
    But as soon as Klopp and Pep came over, the standard increased to a point where genuine top class managers like Conte, Ancelotti and Emery were happy to join lesser clubs.
    I wouldn’t take this season’s European results as proof of league standing. No way is Serie A or the Bundesliga of better quality. 
    Some could even argue that the demands of the PL will only make it harder for teams in Europe due to the scheduling. 
    You only have to look at Liverpool running out of gas.

    I think he is a limited coach who sets us up to play a style of football which is the easiest to coach.
    I think we won promotion through matching/surpassing the physical attributes of our opponents and seeing our individual quality pull through.
    I don’t think we won promotion through tactical nous or coaching a team of mediocre League One players to perform better than the sum of their parts.
    I don’t think such a method will work in the Championship, especially when facing superior quality.

    Bris Vegas got a reaction from Ghost of Clough in Championship 23/24   
    Really?
    The top 6 consist of 3 PL sides of last season, two sides still boasting former PL players and a final parachute payment and Ipswich who have been brilliant.
    Rosenior took over Hull last season when they were a bottom 8 Championship side with players of that ilk.
    No doubt they have invested. But not to the extent of bringing in a host of players better than 5 of the 6 above them.
    They finished above Watford who are still under parachute payments, plus Boro and Stoke who have invested more than Hull.
    I think if Rosenior had taken over a top 10 side you could argue finishing 7th with the added investment is a tad disappointing.
    But underperformed? At worst finishing 7th-10th is solid but room for improvement, and that’s looking on with a negative spin.
    Watford have disappointed. As have Stoke and Sunderland.

    Can’t really blame either.
    Buchanan was offered a chance to join a Bundesliga club. 
    And Bielik was always going to go as his wages were unsustainable.
    Both joining Birmingham permanently was a bit odd though.
    I expected both to be doing better.

    Just as Forest are a far better side with Awoniyi in it, the same can be applied to Luton with Adebayo.
    No coincidence Luton’s form dropped off after he got injured in February.
    Now he is back, could be a big difference for them for the last 3 games.

    Leeds, Villa, WBA and Derby was probably the strongest playoff set since playoffs became a thing.
    This season also looks strong, but I don’t think Norwich and West Brom are as strong as us back then.
    Last season seemed a poor one, as did Forest’s too.
