25/25 Championship - Unpopular Opinions

[mattbianco1]

Chuck them in here. Your predictions that will be deemed unpopular but you believe will happen.

I'll start with these ...

• Hull will finish Top 6
• Brewster will score 10+ league goals

 

[Harry's Game]

Pigs will somehow get a let off to make signings in January

 

[Calblade]

Birmingham will be nowhere near as good as some are expecting them to be.

Rational thinking and data suggest otherwise, but have a sneaky feeling Wrexham may finish above them for some reason

 

[Guesty]

Wednesday will stay up.

McBurnie will have more bookings than goals.

 

[UTB Blade]

Is it an unpopular opinion to say that I hope that the world doesn't, in fact, end on the 31st of December 2025, as implied by the thread title, and that the 25/25 Championship season referenced in the title, does in fact become the 25/26 Championship season, that we're all hoping to see out?

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

McBurnie will score more than any of our forwards and Luncunt will also be a good signing for Hull

 

[McGrath]

The pigs will somehow beat us

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Preston will not be in this division after this season. (Finally)

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

A posse of Sheffield MPs and local journalists step in at the last minute and pursuade the Labour government to nationalise Wednesday. Rachel Reeves announces to the nation that she has no choice but to double the current rate of income tax in order to pay off their enormous debt and then goes on holiday.

 

[Frank the tank]

Relegated 3 will piss promotion.leaving the rest of us to fight it out for .... erm ..pride ?

 

[Geordie Blade]

Stoke to make the play offs.

 

[MadDad38]

Only one out of the three relegated clubs will be promoted at the first time of asking.

As a bonus I’m also going for only one of the clubs promoted to the premier league last year to come straight back down.

 

[DifferentClass]

Hope Brum and Hollywood FC both fail to meet expectations, can't stand them.

 

[SittingontheBall]

Hope Brum and Hollywood FC both fail to meet expectations, can't stand them.

You didn’t read the thread title properly, did you?

 

[s8_blade]

Millwall to make playoffs and Birmingham to get autos

 

[Sheffsteel]

Pigs will somehow get a let off to make signings in January

They can’t be let off because the EFL don’t have that power and have to work to their own rules

however they could do what we did and negotiate an alternative punishment.

I reckon they’ll agree to be given a 9 or 10 point punishment to replace the embargo’s.

 

[JohnDenver]

Kieffer Moore will rag our centre backs to bits at the Racecourse.

Ryan One remains too young and raw to make a dent on the Championship.

The United hierarchy will come to realise the value of experience by the end of the season.

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Blades piss the league as Champions thanks to the bedwetters!

 

[blAdes96]

At Bramall Lane this season, we’ll see;
Lundstram, McBurnie, Brewster, Kieffer, Tommy Doyle, Cameron Archer, BBD, Jebbison etc all score against us

Otherwise, despite a good squad -under Lampard- Coventry will miss out on playoff spots on final gameweek, instead it’ll be a surprise shout like Millwall…

 

[Cappy]

Birmingham manager the first to be sacked. First gig and probably has the most owner pressure on him in the league. Outside playoff positions in October, huge entitled fan pressure, and gone before end of November

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Nightmare season. Both Sheffield clubs relegated. The Government, fearing another brick out of the red wall, steps in and takes over both clubs merging them as Sheffield City and selling all players with a value over £1m, together with Bramall Lane to go towards paying for pensioners winter fuel payments. Training grounds sold and training (and youth matches) transferred to Concord Park to symbolise the new unity. New club shirt is red and blue stripes available from Sports Direct. Poundstretchers announced as shirt sponsors with a picture of Derek Dooley as the club badge. Matches will be played at the rustbucket (North stand demolished to make way for a premium priced car park - saxon remains are found during demolition and declared a site of architectural interest by Sheffield City Council and taken out of use whilst excavations proceed.). Fearing trouble the FA stipulates former blades and owls fans must be segregated in the remaining stands. South Yorkshire's finest double policing costs to generate overtime money. Terry Curran appointed club ambassador. Danny Wilson brought out of retirement as manager with Chris Basham and Barry Bunion named as his assistants. The club announces no matches will be played on a Wednesday and no press statements will include the phrase "the players are united". The club inherits all debts and embargoes from parent clubs and embraces a new youth only policy as it looks forward to lucrative local derbies with Sheffield FC and the merger of the men's and women's squads.

Otherwise a season of mediocracy characterised by frequent defensive mistakes and an inability to hit a barn door with a banjo let alone a cannon.

 

[10-0 win]

Stoke finally to get good induviduals to gel after 6 years with fine squads and no end product

 

[GeorgeDonis1889]

John Eustace shows himself to be one of the best managers in the league but barely gets any credit.

 

[Badger Blade]

Jack Robinson will be offered another year's extension after he ends up playing most of the season...again.

 

[mattbianco1]

I’m also going for only one of the clubs promoted to the premier league last year to come straight back down.

I fully expect Sunderland to stay up. They're making some very good signings.

Adingra and Xhaka are very good signings for a newly promoted club.

Not as dramatic as that.
They are just compressing the fixture list to get it all done by end of 2025.
Then new seasons will run January to December. It's for the American TV market to keep it simple.

 

[St Annington]

Selles will turn out to be one of the finest manager we've ever had and he will unite the fan base behind him as we swagger our way to automatic promotion, wrapping up the league title by Easter!!

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Coventry will push for top 2

United will be too inconsistent and finish about 7th

Middlesbrough to be relegated

 

[mattbianco1]

Sorry. I was basing it on the pigs who won't be making 2026

 

[metalblade]

Ipswich Town will do a Luton and go down again.
