Some drop into L1 within a couple of seasons too. No names mentioned.
I remember when Forest used to spank Stoke in the First Division.

Stoke are being anointed by some. Rowett. I'd play my tiny violin if they get off to a bad start.
WBA won about 5-7 games in 47 games? ...and Swansea were struggling in the top flight. They're back to basics. Sounds like consolidation to me. Out of the 3, Stoke have spent biggest?
But that's no guarantee of anything in the Championship.
Can't wait for the season to start and we can find out.

I actually think the relegated clubs are going to be a bit of a let down in terms of expectation and will find it extremely hard to adapt to the championship, especially during the first half of the season, when their scalps for a lot of the smaller clubs will be like a cup final victory. This is the time we really need to be seeing the hard work put in during pre-season and we get a decent points total amassed before the relegated clubs start to find their feet
Yeah, get in early, put the boot into the points nice and quick to pile the pressure on the relegated teams.
