Has a team ever done consecutive promotions from league 2 (or 4th division) to the PL (or 1st division)?

I think Northampton in 50s/60s are closest doing it in 5 seasons, only took them 4 more seasons to be back in division 4.

My main worry is those two pushing prices for average Championship players tbh. Though I suppose we benefit from the other side if we’re selling this summer.

I reckon we could sell Allen to either of them for 5 million

I think that Northampton did back in the early 60’s, but then went back down almost as fast.

Wilder should have received a touchline ban and it should have been for Saturday or a points deduction which would be waiting until they are next in the championship.

It was a bit before my time but I remember reading about it in the 70s. I thought they done had both promotion & relegation in 3 seasons which would have been even more impressive

Sounds like a lot of money but it isn't. It's a big jump from League 1 to the Championship. 30m is just 3m for 10 players on average. We had 40m when we sold Gyokeres and Hamer. It could work out well.for them but the odds are it won't. 30m should get them an average Championship side.

Which would be a good season for them

Just in the kitchen making a cuppa and my mind began to wander, as it does for people my age
A penalty kick away from a potential premier league position
A toe away from a Wembley FA Cup final
A minute away from a potential play-off final again
I don't think there are many teams in the space of 3 years that have gone through the same as us
Glass half empty says, woe are we
Glass half full says, we can do it again

They're categorically not spending £30m this summer. The whole facade around them is a bit ridiculous.

They pretty much need a brand new squad, will likely have to vastly overpay for players and have a dinosaur of a manager who is more likely to struggle than succeed at this level.

It took them 6 seasons to climb all the way from the 4th division to the first then back down to the 4th again. An amazing 6 seasons, 3 consecutive promotions followed by 3 consecutive relegations. They crossed paths with us as they were on their way to their second consecutive relegation (from the 2nd division) as we were being promoted to the first. The second match I went to was the home game against Northampton that season. It was a midweek night game and we won 2-0 in front of a huge crowd. George Hudson had signed for Northampton but I don’t think he played for them that night.

I don't know why Blues aren't in PSR trouble already. 3 ear losses to the end of 22/23 is over £68m. There may be some agreement with new ownership and the EFL but that figure will likely go up massively when their next sets come out, particularly for League 1.

I can't see anything but them trying to ignore the rules for this season and go all out for it hoping to go straight up and avoid punishment. I hope they fail and the EFL absolutely slaughters them with deductions and embargoes next season.Then the Americans slink off and recall their 12% interest loans and the twat fans go back in their box.

Question for those who pay attention to league 1, how good is this Blues side compared to Ipswich one from a couple of years ago & are they genuine contenders to do back to back promotions ? Appreciate it’s hard to predict until the window is closed as we expect them to be big spenders but those that are more informed were backing Ipswich to do well as soon as they were promoted.

The blue noses I know think they are the 2nd coming of the Brazil side from the 70’s but they always have been deluded

There is alot of delusion. I’m not informed enough to give detailed view, from what I’ve seen, they will be top 10 I would expect, perhaps challange depending what they spend. Goals is issue for me and how good are they defensively? They have couple of nice players on ball in middle.

hilarious how they think Wagner is 2nd coming of Christ, if they deliver all they say, FairPlay, however be interesting at the first hiccup, Wagner is a front for hedge group - they will want money back…….blues fans just seem to think there are no strings attached…..



Wrexham need a lot of investment, zero pace in that team and will struggle unless quite a lot of an injection

Parkinson probably deserves some slack. I imagine people would have written off Robins as he took us up the leagues.

This season will be a litmus test for him and Wrexham. Same with Birmingham to be fair.
