I think it highlights just how weak the Championship was last season. Our division has a totally different feel to it this time around, but last year it felt like it was lacking in quality throughout.
It just shows the gap between PL and Championship now. Teams have wised up to spending silly and being in trouble when they come back down. A lot are sensibly spending within their means and coming back down with several ££ in the bank to go back up again.
Majority of championship teams are hoping for the scraps of fluking a play off win nowadays
I know what you’re saying, but the fact is that all three teams who were promoted from the Championship in 2021/22 stayed up in the Premier League last season, while Brentford, who were promoted in 2020/21, have subsequently finished 13th and 9th in the top flight. That would suggest the gap isn’t quite so big.
I genuinely believe that the Championship was the poorest it’s been in a long time last season and that was reflected by the quality of the three teams who got promoted, but I do think things have changed for the better this time around.
