The majority of teams in the Championship will be as good or poor next season but I can imagine the 3 coming down will be in a good position to keep all their better players and supplement where necessary - like Burnley and Hull. There will be 3 of Villa, Sunderland, Newcastle, Norwich, Bournemouth and Swansea getting relegated - no guarantees obviously but except for maybe Villa, I think they'll all do well in the Championship. And then there's the teams who don't make it this season in the top 6. I know the same thing gets mentioned every season but the relegated teams will be in a better financial position than ever. The season after this one sees the bottom club pick up a minimum £100m plus parachute payments. That said, just watch Burton, Peterborough and MK Dons get promoted next season just to prove me wrong.

Not saying it won't be poor but the teams coming down should be in a better position to be the best of the bunch. Like Hull and Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFCArmy Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Burton will go up next season and we'll still be f****** around with a 15 year plan having spent another 20m quid to cover for injuries who are cover for the other injured....

Blimey they look to have gone up a level or two since I last saw them play. They look like scoring every time they break forward. Their present squad has loads of experience & technical ability. Wouldn't be at all surprised if they beat Hull tonight in the form their in right now. They could still be the surprise package come May. We've been playing pretty well and Anthony Knockaert's been outstanding. We seem to have our mojo back and seem to have recovered from the fatigue that hit us over Christmas. LuaLua is back but can't get in the side at the moment and Baldock made his first appearance after a long lay off tonight. Rosenior was back on the bench and Bong took part in full training yesterday so our injured players are coming back into the fold. The feel good factor is back, although ever the pessimist we'll probably go and balls it up by losing at Cardiff and Bristol City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying this for a long while now, if we can't manage to get promotion this season it's going to be VERY MUCH harder next season & for many seasons to come. As it will almost certainly be three big teams having come down, all very anxious to get back to the Prem immediately using even bigger parachute payments money. I know we say this every year, but even more so from now on. This is why some Chairman have splashed the cash this year & taken a much bigger gamble. Although our Chairman says that isn't the case with Derby County, oh yes ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the argument about parachute payments, but championship clubs cab lose more without falling foul of FFP. it was going to be harder to get back up when Fulham, Bolton, Birmingham etc .... Came down. They had little effect on the promotion race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suspect a large proportion of future parachute monies are earmarked to see out existing contracts. So what's the incentive for a bunch of relegated defeated players to gain promotion? And clubs won't be queuing up to take them off your hands. Think the threat of the relegated clubs is overdone personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
