Last time a non parachute won the league was I think Leeds in 2019-20, the last time both automatically promoted sides were non parachute was 2018-19 (Norwich and Sheff Utd).
Ipswich did spend big in L1 so it’s a little misleading. Ironically they’ve now spent big on West Brom’s defence, dismantled a fair bit of their promotion side and are struggling to get going.
They eventually will, the depth is too good not to, but it shows how we’re benefiting from everyone already being settled.

All the more reason to make as big of a gap as possible to them.. first results I look for are Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton as history dictates that they will be there or there abouts by the end.. 15pt gap by Xmas to them all would be dreamland

I think the fact we’ve gone close a few times would stand us in better stead if/when we do go up. Brentford and Brighton had play off heart break, tweaked the squads and were in a much better position to establish themselves as premier league teams when they did go up. Ipswich went up at the first time of asking and clearly weren’t ready.
They are not the team they were 2 seasons ago. Probably do have players with ggreat individual talent, but its not working as a team. Yesterday charlton weathered the storm first half. And then they capitulated a bit like Southampton did at Bristol city..is the Premier League scars?
