It’s very rare for a team to get promoted without it containing a number of players who are fully established at that particular level but not really good enough to play (or at least be successful) at the next level. For example, the City team that was promoted under Warnock was littered with decent Championship players who weren’t good enough for the Premier League.

Horses for courses.
