The Championship title race has been a thrill this season. Leicester's triumph would lack excitement, while Ipswich would be the darling of the underdog enthusiasts. Granted, in this Man Utd fan enclave, Leeds might not be the top pick, but neutrally speaking, they bring a lot to the Premier League. Their widespread fanbase and raucous stadium epitomise the essence of English football—close-knit supporters generating an electric atmosphere, emblematic of why the English game holds global appeal.
The transformation overseen by McKenna at Ipswich has been nothing short of remarkable. Securing back-to-back promotions would further underscore the Premier League's reputation as the most unpredictable league worldwide, should they ascend. It's the kind of narrative that broadcasters like Sky thrive on, as seen with the pre-season buzz surrounding Luton's rise. Seeing Ipswich join the top flight would undoubtedly inject similar fervor.
As for Leicester, while their return would lack pizzazz, it's hardly fitting to have a recent Premier League winner languishing in the Championship. Therefore, for the third promotion spot, I'd lean towards them or a wildcard entry like Preston or Coventry, just to keep things intriguing.
