With respect I disagree. Congratulations to Neil Warnock, his backroom staff and of course the players.
Yes, they foght with their teeth and managed to clinch it. But they won;t bring the same quality to the PL as Fulham would have brought

Warnock does it again, his 8th promotion. On his day a shrewd tactician, an excellent manager installing belief into average/good players. Will need massive investment going into the PL I would think.

As for "Their squad was not amazing" - if this is true then all credit to Warnock and his coaching staff for moulding them into an organised outfit which has secured automatic promotion.

Warnock this week said that if he was going into the last game of the season with a chance of getting into the play offs then he would have gladly taken it.so he clearly didn't expect to be where he ended up.

Just seen the Championship results from afternoon, well pleased to see Neil Warnock get promoted. I really didn't like him when he was at Sheff Utd, but ever since he was at Palace and his subsequent clubs I have a lot more time for him. He really knows how to play the championship division. Also, well done Derby for making sure those brainless Bermondsey idiots stayed out of the playoffs.

Not a fluke as in "bad" or "should have finished mid-table", but a fluke as in finishing 1 point ahead of Fulham. Still, good for them! They earned it

I admit Leicester's achievement was very unexpected and a major surprise but they finished top and it's not a fluke when you finish top after 38 games. As for "Fulham had the better team" - This is debateable, in any event let's not begrudge Cardiff their achiement in finishing 2nd after a gruelling 46 game season.Certainly no fluke ! We will have to agree to disagree on this matter. Edited by Willo (06 May 2018 11.56pm)
