The Premier League is the most commercially successful league in the world, and the TV broadcast fee per season is the sum of the other four major leagues, so every season the Premier League team can get sky-high TV broadcast fees, for example, the champion Manchester City's share is more than 160 million pounds, and even the bottom relegation team can share more than 100 million pounds in bonuses, such financial income even Europe's top giants Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern are blushing.
The competition in the Championship is very fierce, known as the 6th league in Europe, which shows how fierce the competition in the Championship is, because the top two in the Championship will be directly promoted to the Premier League every season, and the success of the promotion means that there is more than 100 million pounds of revenue per season, and the team will be able to use this huge amount of money to rebuild to enhance the strength of the team to compete in the Premier League, and then strive to stay in the Premier League and continue to enjoy a huge share.
The 2023/24 Championship season is in the final round of contention, with Leicester City, who were relegated last season, securing the Championship title one round earlier and returning to the Premier League after a season's absence. The remaining direct promotion spot will be made in the final round, with Ipswich Town currently in the lead, with 93 points after 45 rounds, three points above third-placed Leeds United, and only need a draw in the final round to be promoted to the Premier League.
Ipswich is a 100-year-old team, founded in 1878, and has a history of 146 years. Ipswich won the UEFA Cup in 1981 and were one of the founding teams when the Premier League was established in 1992 before being relegated to League One in 1995. The 2000/01 season was a successful re-promotion and finished fifth that season, but the team was relegated in 2001/02 and never achieved promotion again.
Ipswich Town was still struggling in League One in 2021, with former Manchester United assistant manager McKenna taking over midway through the season, and Ipswich finished second in League One last season and were promoted to the Championship. Ipswich Town's record in the Championship this season is 27 wins, 12 draws and 6 losses, ranking second in the standings with 93 points, scoring 90 goals and conceding 57 goals, making them the team with the most goals in the Championship.
Ipswich Town has no big names in the squad, and this season the team's winger Brohead has played 38 games, scoring 13 goals and providing four assists, Hutchinson has nine goals and six assists, and Chaplin has 13 goals and eight assists. Ipswich Town will face second-to-last Huddersfield Town in the final round, and the match will be played at 19:30 GMT on May 4.
Ipswich have lost just one home game in the Championship this season, at Leeds United in the fourth round of the season, and have since gone on a 20-game unbeaten run at home. Huddersfield are deep in the relegation zone, three points behind 21st-placed Plymouth, 15 points behind on goal difference, and there is only a theoretical possibility of relegation, so Ipswich will be more motivated in this game, as long as a draw can be in the Premier League after 22 years, and the club will also earn more than 100 million pounds.
The one remaining promotion place in the Championship this season will be determined by a play-off, with the four teams from 3rd to 6th placed in the play-offs, Leeds United and Southampton have already qualified for the play-offs, which were relegated from the Premier League last season, and Norwich have essentially secured a play-off spot, with West Brom and Hull City just two points separating them from the final round for a place in the play-offs.
