Champions Wolves and runners-up Birmingham will look forward to returning to England's premier competition next season. Birmingham City return to the Premiership at the first time of asking, while Wolves boast the season's top scorer in former Manchester United and Plymouth front-man Sylvain Ebanks-Blake with 25 goals.
In the promotion play-offs, Sheffield United will play Burnley for the right to join th two midlands clubs at the highest level next term. Burnley knocked out favourites Reading 3-0 on aggreagate, whilst Sheffield United defeated Preston North End with an aggregate win of 2-1.
At the other end of the table, there was good news for Plymouth Argyle who secured safety by 5 points. Below them, however, there was heartbreak for three clubs who were well-established Premier league clubs only a few short years ago. Norwich, Southampton, and Charlton will all play in League One next year following miserable seasons for all 3 clubs.
Other suprises in the league standings include Bristol City's impressive 10th-place finish, and Welsh clubs Swansea and Cardiff finished just outside the play-off places in 7th and 8th respectively.
