If you had a choice, which three teams would you promote to the EPL from the Championship?
I personally would like to see Preston North End, Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday. Preston becasue they are such an old team and they are always so close, but always just miss out; Leeds because I would like to see a Man U / leeds rivalry back again, and Sheffield because if Sheffield united manage to stay up, another derby would do the EPL very well.

Forest Green Rovers. After dodgning relegation from the Conference two straight years on technicalities, this is the year they march up the table and begin their rise through the football league.

Colchester - Layer Road in the premiership - it's be fantastic!
Plymouth - one of the better supported teams in the division, particularly away from home (given that a match 200 miles away is "local" for them) and they've never been there before.
Hull - to complete the "never been there" before set.

I always like to see different teams get a shot at the Premiership, so all these would do fine, plus Southend. Also, I have a soft spot for Colchester United as Layer Rd was the first league ground I ever saw a game at. In the unlikely event they got promoted, I wonder whether the Premier League would force them to play at Ipswich?

No reason why they would. There are no capacity requirements for entry to the premiership.

Wolves, Leeds and Palace. Something about the top flight isn't right without the first two.

After all of their playoff misses in the last couple of years.. I would like to see Preston North End promoted to the premiership. Doubt it will happen though, this year at least.

Ipswich Town & two others.
Perhaps WBA and Barnsley.
Albion + England

You jokin? Wolves have been in it once in the last 20 odd years. Plus they have the worst fans in the history of football.

I once took Whitby Town from the conference to the premiership in consecutive seasons on championship manager.
Those who use that as an excuse to point out how absurdly unrealistic the game is should know that I had real trouble ever getting them past the CL quarter finals though.

Personally I feel that all clubs who have fans who routinely claim their club "belong" in the premiership, deserve to be stuck outside of it.

Sunderland although i doubt it's going to happen. 3 games
played and 3 defeats. Quinny needs to sort it out and quick
but i still fancy us for the playoffs

Crystal Palace-Underrated manager in Peter Taylor, he'll do well in the Premiership
West Brom-Great fans
Plymouth Argyle-Passionate manager and it would be a lovely story for the club.

What about us. Ever seen our supporters. We have some of the best in the country. I do agree with the Baggies. The more Midlands clubs the better.
