I do find it a bit harsh that they have playoffs in the Championship as Sheffield had 90 points and Sunderland only had 76 points, I would feel very aggrieved if it was my Team.

I agree LIZ.
The top 3 should have been promoted.

Agree 100% Liz. Not being bias as I’m a magpie supporter but once Sunderland knew they were guaranteed a playoff place they didn’t bother their backsides playing and lost the last 4-5 games of the season

Play-offs are about revenue not fairness Liz. They occur in Rugby too.
For me the clubs that have accumulated the most points over the whole season are those to be rewarded.
So whether it be two up or three no second chance for 4 or below!
PS But The Mackems did it by the rules lead by an unknown Coach with a squad costing just £17M (lots of local lads). They now have to contend with the likes of Man C who started a PL game with a team costing squillions without a British Player last week. The task is to stay up.

The 89 play off between toon and Sunderland saw Newcastle third Sunderland fourth, Newcastle with 14 more points. Sunderland beat us 1-0, got beat by Swindon in Play off but we're put through as Swindon were disqualified for financial reasons.

Mac, you are right about revenue bring the root cause, rules are rules so I guess you go with the flow.

I must admit I do wonder how Sunderland will do in the Premiership up against the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal etc I wonder if they will be relegated again after only one season, but who knows look at Leicester a few years ago they did extremely well with a low budget team, they did have a good coach.
