Cifuentes has to be up there based on the almost identical rescue job he pulled off with QPR, but considering the fact that Röhl did the double over him this season it would be difficult to justify giving it to the QPR man. That said, for me the order would be: McKenna, Röhl, then Cifuentes.

Spot on. How all three achieved what they did is phenomenal. And for Rohl and Cifuentes they had to overcome a real downward trend in momentum and players whose confidence was through the floor.

[@BLS5432]

@@steveo726 Yep, I have no doubts about that but we haven't gone down in financial turmoil. Our revenue was apparently the top of the Championship (last season) outside of the three teams who had parachute payments so we have good resources to build a solid L1 side. So i'm not saying we will fly back up with ease but I feel like we have a 'better' chance of doing so than other big teams who it has happenned to. Not looking forwards to the officiating though, it's bad enough in the Championship, let alone L1.

Congratulations on your promotion Benjammin, I thought Ipswich would finish highest of the promoted teams, but I thought they would be around 10th. So pleased for Loungo, he never stayed fit long enough for us, but we all knew there was a top player there. Over the moon for my own team Wednesday, we were dead and buried, bottom of the league with 3 points from 11 games when Rohl came in, Danny had a slow start and after 18 games we had 7 points. The turning point for me was the injury time equaliser against Leicester, we started picking up after that. There was still some horror performances against Southampton, Sunderland, Ipswich, Huddersfield and Middlesborough to name just 5, but what a finish to the season, Danny said we would win the last 3 and we did. Just need our lunatic chairman to back Danny now.

[@bennwardhaugh3013]

We (ITFC fans) have really taken to Rohl and I personally think he can be your own McKenna. I remember between December and February when there was a lot of outside noise about teams wanting KMcK, there was a growing swell of people wanting Danny to be Kieran's successor. If you keep him and DC does the right thing and back him (or the actual right thing and sell up) then I think you'll be dark horses next season.

We were all told it was a season of transition this year and like you said, just took too long to gel. If we can keep our best players this season we can really push on for next.

@@nicksyb5920 I was surprised at how loud QPR were on the final day. I know it's the final day and it was pretty much a dead game, but still it looked like a good time in the away end. I know what it's like to lose so many at home and not have the greatest of seasons so well done to all the fans for supporting home and away (Cov tend to do the same, when we were groundsharing, we'd still take our full allocation away). Also well done on the 4-0 against Leeds and then beating us, nice way to end the season on a high for you guys. I do think it was a distraction. Don't get me wrong, the Wolves game where we came back in injury time (especially when the ballboy was playing antics and we scored from that) was a highlight I'll never forget, along with the 'goal' that wasn't, but the players were phyiscally and mentally shot after that, we couldn't get a win for love nor money after the Wembley trip. Our home form over the season has been pretty rubbish though, too many draws so we were never really going to challenge, this has been a transitional season and we're going to lose O'Hare (he was brilliant for about two months until he clearly decided he was off and has been on the bench for the most part ever since), but if we can keep most of the rest, now they are bedded in it could be a good season. We really need to improve in some areas though (goalkeeper for instance) but I'm already excited. Fingers crossed for next season for you guys, looks a little too close to a relegation fight this year with the final points standing so hopefully you can push on up the table!

Congratulations Ben from a lifelong Canary, I hope we meet in the 24/25 season

[@user-sl7gz8sv2g]

I hope that you still do Championship predictions next season 👍. At least there will be no conflicts of interest 😂.

[@horsehollerer]

Ha, I think I remember praising you in the comments at the start of the season for being one of the only YT-ers to foresee an imminent collapse at Albion. I too have egg on my face. Apologies to the Baggies, great job from them!

[@DazBull26]

Some good predictions to be fair. Will you be covering more of the prem next season now Ben?

[@glfirst4247]

Impressed by Ipswich who were always going to do OK. I had them top six. They just needed strengthening in the striker department which they achieved by getting Hirst, Kieffer Moore and Hutchinson. The defence is a bit suspect which they need to address otherwise they will suffer in the Premier League.

[@spig3547]

My say is I really enjoyed watching Ipswitch this season and I'm really happy for you, I think McKenna will change his tactics up next season as you saw what happened against Leeds when playing like that and that's most of the Prem so he will have to change, though I suspect he knows that.

[@markmurphy3578]

This has always been a tough league to predict. Small variants can make a massive difference. Personally I like the way some teams get promoted into the championship and then make a fantastic effort. Congratulations to Ipswich on really excelling and showing some serious talent on the pitch. But it’s the poor decisions that have the biggest impact and some clubs appear to be better at making those mistakes. But hats off to the clubs who made positive changes that worked. The bottom half of the league has been epic this season and I doubt we’ll ever see another season like it. ………or will we? Great content again Benjamin. Well done 👏

[@paulsmith6224]

Calgary calling Ben, congrats to you and Ipswich...brilliant season from you. I hope your board backs McKenna and can we have Leif Davis back? lol. Your attacking play will be a joy to watch but you may have to play on the counter with the big boys? Don't forget the Championship where we are likely stuck again! What odds on your neighbours Norwich to sink Farke? Will Ferrell has just invested in Leeds...the way we are playing...new coach: ;) MOT. Good luck Tractor Boys, you richly deserve it!

[@bennwardhaugh3013]

No you can't have Leif back! 🤣 Honestly the top 4 teams should all be proud of their seasons as that kind of performance normally gets you promoted, we just ended up doing it at the same time! I can see us playing quite a bit of counter football next season but this season showed that we're able to mix our game up. Also, with all the sanctions that some teams will get it means this might be our best chance to stay up and try and solidify our position. You can be assured that Suffolk will definitely be backing you against the Budgies and as long as you hold your ground at Carrot Road then I feel pretty safe in saying that you'll make the final. Summerville, Rutter and company are just too good imo.

[@PaddyMacgougan]

Ben, will you still cover the championship next year when ipswich are in the prem?

[@gregnicolle]

The "jack in the box" in the Championship this season, had to be the tractor boys 💙

[@jayjayb89]

Wagner did say he was gonna get us out of the league...but down to league one wasn't what I expected

[@SM_9991]

Well done Ipswich. Buzzing Rangers managed to stay up and get everyone’s predictions wrong! Cheers for the content Ben

[@andrewdolan6601]

Everyone writes. Sheffield Wednesday off it's our biggest thing going for us.

[@SM_9991]

@@andrewdolan6601 yep wonder what the odds were on both of us staying up in October, See you next season

[@geoffpoole483]

I thought Ipswich would finish mid-table. What I've learned from this season is frequent managerial changes are counterproductive.

[@darryljf7215]

With your Ipswich boys' getting promoted to PL are you switching your channels focus from the Championship to the Prem next season ?

[@CharlieRealbedfordfrost]

My predictions were so bad lol all to say my bottom 3 were very wrong 😂Sunderland, qpr, Cardiff haaa fair play to you mate

[@SKSK-rz7br]

tbf ,,, if we (QPR) hadn't changed manager that part of your prediction would have been correct

[@nathand8523]

Write the comeback kings (Wednesday) off at your peril 🦉 What an effort by Danny Rohl

[@prolificprotein279]

Will you still mainly be talking about Championship or are you going to switch to Prem more now that Ipswich are up?

[@Nicklufc]

Hi Benjamin Leeds fan here congratulations on your promotion to the premier league well deserved

[@tomrogers7110]

Congratulations to Ipswich Town. What an achievement!

[@WYRG]

just posted mine ben, did it in tier list form on mine, autos, playoffs, rest of top half, bottom half not relegated, and relegated, an interesting yet horrible experience LMAO

[@Laudie808]

My predictions were shocking had Sunderland getting automatics and West Brom 18th 😂😂😂
