Could well happen Condition. As the Championship increasingly divides financially between the haves and have- nots the league is likely to stretch out in terms of points with less being required to stay up. No coincidence that nearly all the bottom clubs have small budgets or are skint. The bunching that used to happen between 50 and 60 points at the end of the season is less likely, being replaced by teams on 40+ points and a gap to those on 60+ as it becomes less likely that "anybody can beat anybody in this league". So 44 pts may be the new normal to stay up.
