My main point of interest will be whether any of the three promoted clubs – Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton can remain in the top flight of English football for more than just a single season.
Last season, 2023/2024, the three clubs promoted from the EFL Championship the previous season, 2022/2023, occupied the three relegation places, Sheffield United, Burnley and, of course, Luton Town.
On gaining promotion strengthening of the team is the number one priority, but how much should be spent is a determining factor for many a season to come, especially if you are relegated after the thirty-eight games.
The Hatters, after numerous dalliances with financial disaster in the past, out of the three clubs, chose to spend very wisely, aiming to bring in new players at respectable prices while also benefiting from the loan system, a thrifty approach that didn’t quite see survival attained in a struggle that almost went right to the wire.
Looking at the three promoted clubs from the EFL Championship last season, it is Ipswich Town that intrigue me the most.
While Leicester City and Southampton have experience of playing Premier League football, Ipswich Town, like us, have been on something akin to a fairy tale, rising from League One to the Premier League in successive promotion seasons.
However, looking at the summer transfer deals done so far, it appears that Ipswich Town have decided to spend, spend, spend to try and preserve their status as a Premier League with the following deals already sealed.
