When was the last time this happened? Ipswich were second a couple of years back and there been a few through playoffs obviously… but who was the last team to win championship without any parachute money?

The 10 year journey from near oblivion is a story worth telling.If we do it our story is as good as any.
When last time the top 2 were non paruchute clubs?
Ive asked ai and they dont think its happened before.2014:15? Bournemouth and Watford
That means it almost certainly has happenedIve asked ai and they dont think its happened before.

Closest was 2016-17.
When 2 of 3 were non parachute and huddesfield through play offs.
Newcastke being onky team with parachutes finishing 2nd.
Yes it definately has.That means it almost certainly has happened
Very good chance if Ipswich dont get another 40 points minimum from what 15 games. Thats some going.Good chance of 3 non parachute teams this season
They don't need 40 points lol, 30 maybeVery good chance if Ipswich dont get another 40 points minimum from what 15 games. Thats some going.

Not sure they'll be in a rush to play Wrexham again.They don't need 40 points lol, 30 maybe
Suspect they'd win the playoffs in any case tbh
Wtf my maths. Your right. BuzzbusterThey don't need 40 points lol, 30 maybe

We just don't know what anyone will need. Ipswich have a very difficult game next away to Watford.They don't need 40 points lol, 30 maybe

Exactly. Take Boro, they still have to go to Ipswich Birmingham and WrexhamWe just don't know what anyone will need. Ipswich have a very difficult game next away to Watford.
But if they manage to get 2 PPG for the rest of the season that's 30 points, and they would end up on 84 points. If we manage 2 PPG we would end up on 91 points.
For a bit of perspective if Ipswich get 2 points a game and we only get 1.5 points a game we would beat them by half a point. So anything better than 1.5 points a game will put us in a very good position.
Our own home games are a mix of very tricky ones and ones you’d expect us to win. Away again there’s a mix of winnable and pretty daunting.Exactly. Take Boro, they still have to go to Ipswich Birmingham and Wrexham
Bournemouth were being bankrolled by a Russian millionaire who only brought the club by virtue of him owning a house in Sandbanks - Does annoy me when their rise to the Premier League gets labelled as some sort of fairytale when they spent millions to get there and broke FFP rules on the way there, in the season you mentioned2014:15?

Oh I know you wasn't I was just rantingYeah but not parachute payments. I’m not claiming they were skint.
25 year really.
We would be the first club to go from the Premier League, all the way to the bottom, to then get all the way back up.
As well as Bielsa, Leeds had acquired minted owners for this level, their recruitment for that season meant it was clear they were going for it. Chucking 10M at us for Bamford the season before being an indicator of where they were going. He was a snip at that price too at the time considering he spearheaded their promotion bid, scored goals for fun in the PL the season they went up and got called up by England.Leeds 19/20 and then Wolves in 17/18 - albeit Leeds were under Bielsa who was ridiculously good at this level and Wolves had just been taken over and threw stupid amounts of money at it anyway
I'm hoping Ipswich get a rearranged fixture dumped in their lap for April 15th. I can dream...Our own home games are a mix of very tricky ones and ones you’d expect us to win. Away again there’s a mix of winnable and pretty daunting.
Boro have some tough away games to come, but I can’t see them dropping many at home. Ipswich that fixture pile up is tough going, no matter how stacked their squad is.
Make sure Hellberg knows how to do a rain dance if it gets iffy at Portman Road.I'm hoping Ipswich get a rearranged fixture dumped in their lap for April 15th. I can dream...
Ipswich could feasibly get 30 points and still miss out.They don't need 40 points lol, 30 maybe

How many do we think?Ipswich could feasibly get 30 points and still miss out.
I agree that I don't think they'd need 40 though.
