With the league season firmly back in full swing, Championship clubs spent the summer replenishing their squads as they bid for a successful 2024/25 campaign. 24 teams are battling it out to reach the promised land of the Premier League (or avoid the drop to League One), so keeping track of every incoming and outgoing over the last few months was no easy task.
That’s where Football FanCast has you covered: every in and out since the end of the previous campaign can be found here. It was a typically busy summer amid the Euro 2024 tournament, with teams making plenty of moves ahead of the transfer deadline in late August.
This season sees play-off finalists Leeds United lead the charge for a return to the top flight, though the likes of Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion will have eyes on a top-six finish at the very least come May, along with relegated trio Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United.
But following Ipswich Town’s improbable rise to the Premier League, all teams in the second tier will know that anything is possible with clever coaching and recruitment. Could Portsmouth, Derby County or Oxford United emulate the Tractor Boys by securing back-to-back promotions?

After finishing in mid-table last term, Bristol City will be looking for a more successful campaign in Liam Manning’s first full season in charge. There have been several changes over the summer, with long-time servant Andreas Weimann leaving for Blackburn Rovers being one of them.
Fally Mayulu has been among the new additions, and he got off to the perfect start by scoring in the Robins’ opening 1-1 draw at Hull City. Latest loanee George Earthy will be hoping for something similar following his switch from West Ham.

Hull City are embarking on a summer of change despite falling agonisingly short of a play-off place, with the Tigers subsequently relieving Liam Rosenior of his duties.
In the meantime, Tim Walter has been busy ahead of his Championship bow, bringing in talent from the continent as well as league rivals. This comes as Jaden Philogene was sold for big money to Aston Villa – only Leeds United have received larger fees so far this summer.

Leeds United Total spent: £24.9m
There has been plenty of change at Leeds United this summer – mainly out the exit door. There’s also been plenty of money exchanged, though it very much seems a case of the Whites paying the price for their failure to secure promotion last season.
That is encapsulated by spending little over £10m in transfer fees so far – and the bulk of that was to extend Joe Rodon’s stay at Elland Road. Therefore, it seems Daniel Farke’s side are going to have to do more with less next term as they hope to reach the Premier League without the likes of the departed Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville.
Georginio Rutter has become the latest to leave for big money, leaving Leeds an uphill task to recreate their efforts from the previous campaign amid a lacklustre start to the new season.
