By Ewan Murray The 2023/24 Championship season proved once again why it's the best league in the world. Non-stop drama at both ends of the table climaxed with Leicester City, who looked as if they may have surrendered a 17-point lead atop the table, being crowned champions. Ipswich Town secured their long-awaited return to the Premier League too, defying expectations to grab second spot, while Birmingham City slipped into the third tier for the first time since 1991/92. There will, of course, be several new names in the division for the 2024/25 campaign, although they are familiar faces. Ports...

By Tom Gott Wayne Rooney has landed a new manager job, signing on with Championship side Plymouth Argyle on a three-year contract. The Manchester United legend has been out of work since leaving Birmingham City in January 2024. His former employers ended up being relegated from the Championship, finishing one point behind Rooney's new club. Rooney's stint with Birmingham proved controversial. He replaced former boss John Eustace in October 2023, with the club sitting sixth in the standings, but won just two of 15 games and was relieved of his duties in January, having seen the team tumble into...

By Toby Cudworth Legendary Manchester United and England forward Wayne Rooney is line for a return to management at Championship side Plymouth Argyle. Rooney has been out of work since January after being sacked by Birmingham City, who went on to be relegated on the final day of the 2023/24 season.

By James Cormack A barnstorming Championship play-off encounter is in store at Elland Road on Thursday night as Leeds United take on Norwich City with the tie firmly in the balance. Sunday produced two typically cagey first legs as Southampton and West Brom played out a stalemate in the Midlands after Leeds and Norwich had done the same at Carrow Road. Leeds would've undoubtedly left East Anglia the happier of the two sides, although a tense evening is expected in the second leg with so much at stake. Daniel Farke's side duelled Leicester and Ipswich Town for an automatic promotion spot and, a...

By Sean Walsh Ipswich Town have triumphed against all odds and secured promotion to the Premier League on the final day of the Championship season. The Tractor Boys were expected to struggle on their return to the second tier this year following promotion from League One in 2023, but they have held off the advances of Leeds United to claim a second-place finish. Ipswich went into the last day of the campaign needing only a point at home to Huddersfield Town, who needed a miraculous set of results to stave off relegation, and delivered with a 2-0 win at a sold-out Portman Road. If Ipswich lost,...

By Jude Summerfield Leicester City sealed the 2023/24 Championship title by easing past Preston North End 3-0 on Monday night. The Foxes endured a late season drop in form which seemed to open the door to their rivals for automatic promotion. However, they bounced back with victories over West Bromwich Albion and Southampton and had confirmed their promotion back to the Premier League after Leeds United were thrashed 4-0 by Queens Park Rangers on Friday night. Leicester strolled to victory at Deepdale on Monday, going into half-time 1-0 up after Jamie Vardy struck in the 36th minute. The Engla...

By Sean Walsh The Championship has shrugged off its status as an ordinary second tier in recent years and announced itself as one of Europe's most prolific hotbeds of talent.

Who should be on the radars of the top sides? Which players are ready to make the step up? 90min has some suggestions. To make matters more interesting, we're limiting entries to one per club, otherwise this list would be ...
