It's generally better to stay in the Championship then it is to go up to the Premier League and then relegated again. I guess it's because you get a load of journeyman players flock to the club when you get promoted and leave again when they go back down.

Charlton are only going to be back in the Championship next season, for instance.

Statistically speaking, yes. On the off-chance you turn your home ground into a fortress (like Stoke, and now, Swansea) have done, you're laughing though.

I can imagine West Ham staying up purely because Upton Park is usually a difficult place to go to. Cardiff too - if they ever actually get through the play-offs. Then again, Birmingham got relegated last year..
