Football League Championship
After the disappointment of a play-off final defeat the previous year, West Bromwich Albion won the title and returned to the Premiership. Stoke City secured the other automatic promotion spot, after a twenty-three year absence from the top flight. Hull City followed them by winning the play-offs, in what would be their first venture into the top flight in their history.
Despite impressing on their Championship debut in 2006-07, Colchester United finished bottom this season and were relegated back to League One. Scunthorpe's first journey into the Championship since the 1960s proved short-lived, and they also went back down. The biggest story however was Leicester City's relegation, as a lack of stability at the club (with no fewer than eight men, including caretakers, occupying the manager's seat over the season) proved their undoing and sent them down to League One for the first time in their history.
