Brilliant achievement , Championship Football next season - Wow! League games against Aston Villa, Newcastle? Nottm Forest and Leeds coming up. Their Away terrace will be packed every week.

3,500 Brewers travelled to Doncaster today.

Accrington, Burton and Kendal Town join Leicester in what they have achieved this season

Well done to Burton. Just goes to show what investment can do. And all this when they gained League status AFTER us.

Let's hope that we can follow in their footsteps.... :?:

I'd certainly like to think so.....

Rafa Benitez from the Bernabeu to Burton in a year. From facing Messi to Duffy.

It's not all about budgets we can't keep using that as an excuse.

They were talking about Ronald Koeman or Steve Bruce being hot favourites on the radio this morning

Why on earth would Koeman be interested in dropping down a division? :shock:

Good point John.

They were also talking about Sean Dyche and Eddie Howe who would also drop from Premier to Championship.

Newcastle is a massive club if they got the right manager AND he was allowed to buy the players he wanted. Without those they will languish in the Championship.

Southampton are a pretty big club too, especially compared to Newcastle at the moment! Next season they could qualify for Europe...
