The Baggies grab the second automatic promotion spot while Brentford and Fulham who just missed out on automatic promotion must contest the playoffs with Cardiff and Swansea. The Swans having made it to the playoffs with a three point and six goal swing to pip Forest may well consider the Fates are conspiring to return them to the Premier League. At the other end of the table Charlton Wigan and Hull occupy the three relegation slots but who will actually go down is anyone’s guess. The EFL is a complete shambles. How did the takeover of Wigan receive approval only for the club to be put into administration within a matter of weeks? Don’t the alarm bells ring for the authorities when they look at the Cayman Islands and tax avoidance? How come the new owners were not required to guarantee to fulfil their financial obligations on taking ownership? Why did they (the EFL) not tighten the rules in the light of the huge financial pressures being exerted on Championship clubs due to the extended playing season? Who is going to pay for this staggering mess if and when it makes its way through the courts?
