Premier League final day

[Rjk]

The Championship this season was utter garbage, as evidenced by the fact that a functional Norwich side were able to walk away with it while sides as desperately limited as Swansea and Barnsley were able to make play-offs.

I think that's a bit harsh on Norwich, they've been a lot more than functional. don't Be fooled by their terrible premier League season the last time around.
they have a core of players who were likely to be playing premier League football next season even if Norwich didn't go up.
Aarons pukki, cantwell and Buendia would all have been snapped up.
either of the Cardiff sides to have won promotion - there weren't clubs queueing up to pick apart any of our any of our championship sides.

they will have a battle to keep Buendia as it is, who is one of the best players at this level in years, has even just been given an Argentina cap. I think he'll go to a top half premier League side for close to 50m

Norwich spent much of the season winning games by the odd goal. They rarely battered anyone. Indeed, during the first half of the season they only managed to beat two teams by two clear goals - Bristol City (3-1) and Cardiff (2-0). They were good, solid, organised and had that bit of quality that most teams this season lacked, but they were by no means special.

Indeed. A functional Norwich side was able to gather 97 points due to the fact that the Championship was largely rubbish this season.

or a really good Norwich side, with a core of premier League quality players won a decent quality championship

If you genuine believe this season's Championship was 'decent quality', then nothing I'm going to say is likely to change your mind. You're deluded, but no doubt you'll find some bizarre set of stats that will 'prove' otherwise.
