The 3 sides relegated from the Premier League will do a lot better than the 3 relegated the season before.

Sure?
Of the last 9 teams to be relegated to the Championship, only 2 have come back up.
2009-10: Burnley, Hull, Portsmouth
2010-11: Birmingham, Blackpool, West Ham
2011-12: Bolton, Blackburn, Wolves
It took West Ham 1 season, and Hull 3. Not so sure it's an easy league to get back out of. As many have been relegated as have gone back up.

Reading look best equipped out of the relegated teams to mount a promotion push next season. Big question marks with QPR over whether Redknapp remains and you'd envisage there being a major turnover of players. Redknapp if he stays will probably need to bring in a few loans/free transfers etc. Wigan surely will lose their best players and could be in for a hard time. Doncaster look to be the strongest of the promoted sides, but all are likely to struggle.
Some of this season's underachievers such as Leeds, Forest, Leicester, Ipswich and Bolton are likely to be better next season. Charlton finished this season strongly and some astute summer signings could make them contenders for the top 6 as well. Brighton, provided they don't lose significant players and make the right managerial appointment, will be in the mix too, but there could be some other surprise packages that have something to say too.

Reading did not overspend and will have plenty to spend. QPR will spend whatever as they will be in real trouble if the do not go straight back up with FFP. Add the Arry factor and I think they will be in with a shout.

I do
QPR and Reading have a chance of going back up again at the first attempt , I think Wigan will struggle. I see them as stronger sides in comparison to Bolton , Blackburn and Wolves , where one team nearly made the play offs , one side was relegated and the other was close to going down too.
I'd add Blackburn, Derby and Boro. Thing is until the managerial merry go round is done and window closed it's just a wild guess. Even when the season starts it's lucky dip, which is why Championship is so much fun!

It'll be our 3rd season so we are no longer new boys. Smaller clubs have come up & I rocon only Reading will give a sustained promotion challenge.
All in all, we should have a lot more wins than we would have had in the Prem!
