The Championship, now in its 20th year, may not match the Premier League for quality, but its entertainment value is not any less addictive.
The Championship has a distinctive charm. So bonkers, that participating clubs are only ever a few weeks, or a few results, away from the unease of the drop zone while seemingly still able to mount a promotion challenge. Jeopardy and unpredictability go hand in hand. Its importance to the footballing ecosystem cannot be underestimated either - 19 of England's Euro 2024 squad this summer have previously played Championship football. Of those 19, seven started the final against Spain.
Luton and Ipswich, modest clubs by top-flight comparison, are recent benefactors of the system's spoils and legitimate reason for others to dream. And that's the irony, right? The thrill of the Championship actually comes from those teams most determined to smash through its glass ceiling - ideally, never to return. Each club has a specific role to play, and most are unassigned until some months into a campaign.
