With the Ipswich lads it would have been 6 or 7 players, plus the Leicester goalkeeper (if you can count him as he hardly plays).Quote:

14/1 - Sheffield Utd
Let’s be honest, the Championship looks a pretty bland division next season. Same old list of contenders. Not very inspiring at all.
40/1 - CardiffQuote:

When we came back down were we favourites to go back up? Didn’t we get 34 points? Twice as many as sheff utd? Don’t mean much reallyQuote:

Just looked and think Sunderland also hit 90 points in the 90's too without going up !
They dropped off after the last international break and were never the same again. Opposition teams were doubling up on their wide players and the midfield had no attacking threat. It looked like they had rediscovered their form at home to Norwich, but Summerville & Gnonto didn't really turn up today, and there's no Plan B.Quote:

probably makes it more likely that Drameh will be offered another contract there?
Interesting early odds on the Premier League relegation market for 2024/25:
1/2 - Leicester City
8/11 - Ipswich Town
11/8 - Southampton
So, as things stand, the bookies seem to believe that Southampton under Russell Martin will be far better equipped to deal with the Premier League than either Leicester or Ipswich.
Leicester and Ipswich Managers linked with new jobs though?Quote:

The Leicester odds must be down to the likelihood of them losing their manager. I find that a surprise.Quote:

And Leicesters is linked with Chelsea and others.Quote:
