Yeah thats 3 clubs in serious financial problems at the moment, I would think its unlikely that they will be able to afford to mount a serious promotion challenge next season with the impending financial restrictions and with 2 currently in transfer embargos already and Hull could well be about to enter one as well.
I think all 3 will be mid table at best next season as almost their entire squads will have to be disbanded.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Wigan, Hull and Charlton all seem to be fucked for the foreseeable future. Those relegated clubs usually vie for promotion back to the Championship.
I reckon next season is there for the taking if you get it right.
Need a few ‘BBC Wilts Sound understands . . .’

Interesting to see 8 ex Premier League teams in L1 next season.
Wigan, Charlton, Sunderland, Ipswich, Portsmouth, Hull, Blackpool, Wimbledon(MKD) and us.

I can’t remember the exact figure but I was staggered to see that out of the current 92, more teams have been in the PL than haven’t been. Think the number of teams is in the mid 50’s range

49. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Premier_League_clubsBear in mind that 20 of those are currently still in the Premier league. |

Franchise aren't Wimbledon, never were, never will be. However the figure's still correct as AFC Wimbledon will be there |

Charlton can't offer anyone a new contract over the age of 21. They're fucked. Bowyer will go, and they've got 6 weeks and embargo to sort their shit out.
Wigan will sell everyone good and again, have 6 weeks.
Can't see either of those two sides competing.
Hull will compete though - they're fine financially, even if the owner is a basket case. They also bascially have a bought a good L1 team in the last 12 months.
