Not easy, Leicester have lots of players out of contract apparently, even so gonna be a challenge.

7 gone and 7 out of contract at the end of next season.
Could be the right time to catch them.
Massive wage bill and commitments, so they wont be splashing out on expensive players.
They need a permanent Manager soon and a proppa recruitment team.
[Sounds familiar?].
 
If Leeds sort out their ownershi/backroom issues, they should be challenging along with Saints and possibly Leicester. You normally expect the relegated teams to be favourites to go straight back up. We will be likely next on most betting lists. Leeds have a few decent younger players, coupled with the experienced ones from the premier league years, they should be odds on to do well. However things sometimes don’t work out as expected!

Arguably the best championship line up ever. Loads of clubs with 25-35k+ fan bases when going well or in the premier league. Think southampton will bounce back up if they keep their best players and invest wisely

Sunderland got relegated to the third tier with 43k fans, the number of fans doesn’t relate to the quality of the side.

The 3 relegated sides all have some players that are far too good for this level, but some or all will be sold. The question is how well they spend any money (we spent 50m and FUBARed a crew years ago), will they get the right managers in, will they play as a team or individuals, will they have a relegation hang over.

The 3 sides will have the budget to go up, but it’s also not impossible that all 3 will mess it up. It’ll be a real culture shock for Leicester after winning the league and fa cup in the last decade. Southampton Haven’t got any players used to this level, and Leeds are in a mess

Who gets parachute payments next season?

Leeds, Southampton, Leicester, Watford, Norwich, West Brom.

I think West Brom are in 3rd and final year
Norwich and Watford both had one year spells in the prem, I think they might be in their second and final year (or maybe that’s just for teams relegated from 22-23?)

You are right. If money were a guarantee of promotion we would all just spend millions and recoup out from sky prem TV money.

Not sure the answer here but when was the last time all 3 relegated teams went up the next year, or even just finished to 3 in the champ.

West Brom's ran out this season, they only had a one year spell back themselves.

So there are 5 teams with parachute payments and 2 of them are in the much lower final year.

Though Watford also have the money from selling Joao Pedro.

and the years before and so on. If we can sort out our team and have a competitive edge then it largely doesn't matter about the bigger teams coming down, look at Luton nearly every team is bigger than them with bigger budgets but they got it right, that's all I'm hoping for with Boro.
