Unfortunately the championship is essentially the same as the prem in that the teams with the bigger budgets are the ones who are likely to succeed!! But there is always the exception to the rule!! This season if you take Blackpool out of the equation as they have been relegated due to being in a mess, then Millwall and Rotherham follwed by Brentford and Huddersfield probably have the smallest budgets and in this case two are struggling and two are not struggling. Wigan provide the alternative, a team on parachute payments who are likely to be relegated, just like Wolves were a couple of seasons ago.

As Pooch said, cutting your cloth accordingly and letting the manager work his magic with young unknown players could see you survive for a few seasons, but recognising that eventually you will be relegated, so make sure the club is on an even keel at league 1 standards has to be the way to go.
