The Championship seems very competitive, Clubs go down with huge parachute payments and don't come straight back up. Good managers can make a difference. Sean Dyche took Burnley up with what was, I think, the smallest transfer budget in the division. Nigel Pearson took Leicester up, albeit with a bigger budget, made good signings and already Leicester look a good bet to stay up. Look how Millwall have improved since Ian Holloway took over. Ipswich have improved each season since Mick McCarthy took over. Wolves, in their first season back in the championship, are 7th. Norwich are 4th and look a good bet to bounce straight back up. I would agree with you, the championship does look more entertaining, unpredictable and competitive than the premier league at present. A bigger bang for your buck. I wish premier league teams would notice this and reduce their ticket prices. Especially Arsenal!
