esquo;Gus Poyet declared it to be the toughest league in England. Neil Warnock went further, believing it to be the tightest division in Europe. Norwich boss Daniel Farke went further still: dquo;The Championship, without any doubt, is the toughest league in the world.idquo;msquo;
 
On the final day of the 2019/20 season, only four clubs in the Championship, England squo;s second tier of soccer, had nothing to play for, everyone else was fighting for promotion or survival. Ittsquo;s stats like this that give the league its well-deserved reputation as the most exciting league in football. Anything can happen, and often does.
 
In The Hard Yards, Nige Tassell tells the Championshiprsquo;s stories, uncovers its hidden gems and takes the reader on an entertaining and eye-opening tour of the 2020/21 season. Following three clubs in particular edash; newly promoted Wycombe Wanderers, newly relegated Bournemouth and stalwarts Sheffield Wednesday, who start the season on 12-point deficit >dash; hensquo;ll dip into the seasons of clubs across the league, interviewing managers, fans, kit men and chairmen. A world away from the glamour and melodrama of the Premiership, the Championship is the heart and soul of football and in The Hard Yards Nige Tassell will take it back to basics.
