Premier League

In spite of both a quiet summer transfer window and off-field concerns regarding the contractual future of certain players, Liverpool defied expectations in new head coach Arne Slot's first season in charge to win their second Premier League title and their 20th league title overall – drawing them back level with Manchester United; whilst enduring exits in the New Year from both the Champions League and the FA Cup, as well as a narrow loss in the League Cup final, the Reds stayed virtually top of the table from late September onwards, taking advantage of slip-ups below them and winning the title at the end of April, the contractual concerns simultaneously easing in the closing weeks with both forward Mohamed Salah and defender Virgil van Dijk signing extensions. Arsenal finished second for the third season in a row, the Gunners being let down by too many draws (including more dropped points from winning positions than the previous two seasons combined) that resulted in the gap ultimately becoming insurmountable – with even a strong run to the Champions League semi-finals amounting to nothing, as the North London club went a fifth successive season without a trophy.

The battle to ensure the remaining Champions League places, with the top five teams now qualifying for the competition, went to the final game week; Manchester City endured arguably their worst season since their financial takeover in 2008 – despite making a strong start, a long-term injury to midfielder Rodri in late September sparked a horrendous run of form that saw them rapidly fall away from the top of the league table and endure early exits from both the League Cup in late October and the Champions League before the round-of-16; whilst a late run of results saw the club haul themselves into third place and once again ensure Champions League football, their failure to win a trophy – including losing the FA Cup final for a second consecutive season – capped off a very disappointing season, arguably the worst of Pep Guardiola's tenure. Despite a poor run of form in the winter and some questions regarding the tactics of new head coach Enzo Maresca, both a strong start and a strong finish to their league saw Chelsea secure a return to the Champions League, on top of winning the Europa Conference League - ultimately taking fourth place and becoming the first side to win all five major UEFA competitions. Newcastle United took fifth place and the final Champions League spot despite losing their final two games of the season, capping a fantastic season in which the club finally ended their 56-year wait for a trophy with victory in the League Cup. A controversial final day loss, alongside mixed results in the league games after their Champions League exploits, ultimately cost Aston Villa a place in the top five, instead consigning them to the Europa League - still another successful season for the Villans, who reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, their remarkable run including a home win over Bayern Munich and pushing Paris Saint Germain all the way in their two-legged quarter finals. Being expected to struggle again, Nottingham Forest defied expectations by qualifying for Europe for the first time in nearly thirty years, qualifying for the Europa Conference League, and never once looking likely to be dragged into the relegation mire - while a poor end to the season cost the Reds a top five finish, having stayed within the top five for much of the campaign, it was still a wonderful achievement for the East Midlands club. Despite making a rough start to their campaign, including just hovering above the drop zone going into Christmas, a strong second half of the season saw Crystal Palace achieve arguably their greatest season since their third-place finish in 1991, the Eagles also breaking a new club record for most points in the Premier League era – and winning their first ever trophy with victory in the FA Cup, ensuring European qualification for the first time, all in Oliver Glasner's first full season as manager.

Manchester United's freefall since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson continued in dramatic fashion; an underwhelming start, considering a busy summer transfer window, saw manager Erik ten Hag sacked in late October, with his replacement in Ruben Amorim winning just seven league games from the November international break onwards as the Red Devils finished with 42 points, their lowest total since 1990, their lowest league finish since being promoted to the top-flight in 1975 and their most league losses in a season for over fifty years, on top of a multitude of poor results. Tottenham Hotspur fared little better, the team struggling with an extensive injury crisis throughout the season and finishing in their lowest league position since their promotion to the top-flight in 1978 while breaking unwanted club records for both points total and number of losses in a top flight season, on top of fan anger against owner Daniel Levy (and to a lesser extent, head coach Ange Postecoglou) continuing to grow; however, it was in Europe that both teams excelled, making it all the way to the Europa League final against all the odds, with Tottenham winning to ensure both a return to the Champions League and their first trophy since winning the League Cup in 2008, while United finished their season without a trophy and missed out on European qualification for only the second time since the re-admission of English clubs to Europe in 1990.

For the second season in a row, and only the third time in Premier League history, all three promoted sides endured an immediate return to the Championship, with relegation being confirmed with at least four games to go; Southampton finished bottom once again, similarly going through three different managers and also breaking records for all the wrong reasons including enduring the earliest relegation in terms of games still to play (being relegated with seven games left) and finishing with the worst statistical home record in top flight history (one win and six points) – whilst the Saints did barely avoid equalling both Derby County's infamously low points and wins totals set in 2008, they took the unwanted record of being the first Premier League team to record 30 losses in a season, and the first top-flight team overall to lose 30 or more games in a season since Stoke City 40 years earlier. Finishing above them were Ipswich Town, whose long-awaited return to the top flight proved to be disappointing, the Tractor Boys ultimately being let down by poor form at Portman Road – only securing a single win, whilst winning three on the road – and failing to turn committed performances into results. Taking the final relegation spot were Leicester City; the sacking of manager Steve Cooper, appointed in the summer following the pre-season departure of promotion-winning manager Enzo Maresca, in favour of Ruud van Nistelrooy before Christmas proved a massive misfire with the Foxes failing to score in nine consecutive home games and only finishing the best of the relegated sides with a decent run of form after relegation.

Championship

edit

In what was principally a three-horse race for the title, Leeds United and Burnley won promotion with two games to spare, both sides reaching the 100-point mark for the first time in the history of the second tier - Leeds coming on top to secure the title on goal difference - another first for the Championship. The Whites enjoyed a fantastic season in both attack and defence as they won the title after occupying top position for much of the season after November; a shaky run of form in March threatened to derail the club's run, but Daniel Farke's side recovered impressively to secure the German's third Championship title following the two with Norwich. Burnley finished 2nd, the Clarets smashing the defensive record for the entire Football League, conceding just 16 goals and finishing the season on a 33-match unbeaten run, only losing twice, the final loss coming on 21 December; perhaps the only minor disappointment was a run of too many draws that prevented Scott Parker's side - his third promotion from the Championship, all with different clubs - from possibly breaking even more records. The play-offs were won by Sunderland; the club enjoyed a hugely improved campaign under new manager Régis Le Bris, leading the table for large parts of the first half and only falling out of the race for automatic promotion by virtue of several runs of indifferent form from November onwards; still, the Black Cats never fell out of the top four before edging their way through the play-offs in dramatic fashion, with late winners in both the semi-final and the final, to end their eight-year exile from the top flight.

Another topsy-turvy relegation battle ensued, with several sides in the mix until the end and only one team having their relegation confirmed before the final matchday. Cardiff City were the first side to suffer relegation, dropping into the third tier for the first time in 22 years; the Bluebirds remained in the relegation mire all season long, looking like overcoming a bad start to the season - only for a run of just five wins after December to go against them and send them back into the bottom three. Plymouth Argyle were the second side to go down; the Pilgrims never recovering from the disastrous pre-season decision to appoint England legend Wayne Rooney as they struggled; even a late improvement in form after the hiring of new manager Miron Muslić, including a shock FA Cup victory over Liverpool in February came too little too late as the club returned to League One after two years. The final relegation place went to Luton Town; having been tipped for an immediate return to the Premier League; the Hatters were in the relegation mire from the start, and despite seemingly recovering, a terrible run of form after Christmas plunged them into the bottom three; a late good run of form under new manager Matt Bloomfield not proving enough as the club became the first since Sunderland in 2018 to suffer two successive relegations from the top flight to the third tier, returning to League One after six years.

League One

edit

In a similar manner to their last season in the third tier in 1995 and after years of disappointing league campaigns on and off the field, Birmingham City secured an emphatic immediate return to the Championship, this time around smashing the record for the most points secured across the entire Football League – and their first promotion since 2009; the Blues' success came as a result of never once relinquishing top spot after going top in late September and an unbeaten season at home, perhaps the only disappointment being a failure to win their first trophy since 2011, narrowly losing out in the Football League Trophy. The battle for the second automatic promotion place went to the penultimate week, with Wycombe Wanderers and Wrexham pushing each other close; in the end, Wrexham won out, the Red Dragons continuing their spectacular rise up the Football League pyramid - becoming the first side in English football history to win three successive promotions, solidifying themselves into the promotion race early on and finishing with impressive run of form in the closing stages of the season to seal their return to the second tier after a 43-year absence. Charlton Athletic's first full season under Nathan Jones was a success; in spite of a mediocre start, the Addicks reached the top six by virtue of a storming run of form in the closing stages of the season, to reach the play-offs and win promotion, defeating Leyton Orient in the final - exactly eleven years to the date the O's lost the play-off final for the last time - and thus ending their five-year exile from the Championship.

Shrewsbury Town were the first side to go down, in a terrible season in which the Shrews only once escaped the drop zone and changed managers three times, returning to the Football League's basement tier after ten years. Cambridge United were the next side to face relegation, enduring a similarly horrible season as they only spent one matchday out of the bottom four - as they started the season with just one point from their first ten games - and returned to League Two after four seasons, despite the managerial presence of experienced managers Garry Monk and Neil Harris - the latter's second spell in charge of the club. Bristol Rovers endured a torrid campaign, remaining in the relegation mire for the entire season; the appointment of Iñigo Calderón seemed to turn their fortunes around, but a total collapse in the end of the season, with just one draw picked up from their final ten games, consigned the Pirates to League Two after three years away. Crawley Town never managed to adjust to life back in League One after ten years and went straight down, in a turbulent season that saw them change managers four times - but at least they went down fighting following a late improvement after promotion winning manager Scott Lindsey returned for a second spell. Having started the season winless in their first 14 matches and with just two wins by the end of January, several good runs of form after that point for Burton Albion, coupled with Bristol Rovers' late collapse, saw the Brewers secure their safety in the penultimate week.

League Two

edit

Having looked all-but decided going into the New Year, the race for the League Two title ended up going to the penultimate week of the season – a race that saw Doncaster Rovers make amends for their play-off miss the previous season and ensure a return to League One after three years, ultimately taking advantage of the teams around them dropping points. Similarly, the race to decide the automatic promotion places was only decided on the final two weekends, with Port Vale finishing second and securing an immediate return to the third tier, overcoming a poor run of form in the run-up to Christmas in the process. Finishing third - by virtue of a 96th-minute winner in their final game - were Bradford City, who secured their first promotion in twelve years; the Bantams slowly progressing up the table and firmly consolidating themselves in the play-off positions thanks to a strong ten-match winning run at Valley Parade, before sneaking into third on the final day. Taking the final spot through the playoffs were AFC Wimbledon, the Dons impressing with the meanest defence of the campaign to secure a return to the third tier just three years after what had been their first ever relegation - and earning manager Johnnie Jackson his first managerial promotion.

Just two seasons after playing in the third tier, Morecambe's 18-year stay in the Football League came to an end as they finished bottom – despite the return of promotion-winning manager Derek Adams for a third spell in charge, a miserable start to the season saw the Shrimps fall into the drop zone in only the third week, spending just one week outside of it during the whole campaign. A late season improvement, timed with the appointment of veteran manager Mark Hughes and a downturn in form for Accrington Stanley, saw Carlisle United take the battle to avoid relegation to the penultimate weekend, but a similar upturn in form from Tranmere Rovers, as well as several late crucial points for Stanley, condemned the Cumbrian side to a second successive relegation and saw them drop into non-league football, exactly twenty years after having last played in the fifth tier.

National League

After consecutive near-misses in the play-offs in previous seasons and in spite of a late scare in April, a strong second half of the season saw Barnet achieve their fourth promotion to the Football League – returning to the fourth tier after seven years away, and finally securing head coach Dean Brennan his first promotion out of the non-league system (his previous promotions having all been from the fifth tier and below). Taking the final spot through the play-offs were Oldham Athletic, the Latics overcoming Southend United in a topsy-turvy play-off final to secure their return to the Football League after a three-season absence - ensuring not only their first promotion since 1991, but also earning manager Micky Mellon his sixth managerial promotion.

At the bottom of the table, Ebbsfleet United were the first team in all of the top five tiers to endure relegation, falling back into the sixth tier after only three years; the Kent side endured one of the worst runs of form in the season, winning just once between the start of the campaign and mid-March, only picking up their second win a week before relegation was confirmed, statistically finishing with one of the worst final points totals in the history of the fifth tier. AFC Fylde finished just above them, ultimately being undone by their wretched away form that saw them pick up just eleven points – and making it through four different managers across the campaign. Despite some spirited runs of form across the season, Maidenhead United's luck finally gave out as they endured their first relegation since 2007, with manager Alan Devonshire unable to mark a decade in charge of the Magpies with another escape from the drop. The final place was filled on the final day of the season, with Dagenham and Redbridge's luck finally giving out as they fell into the sixth tier for the first time since the turn of the century - whilst the Daggers did enjoy a strong late run of form to finish their penultimate game one point ahead of Wealdstone, a failure to win at Solihull Moors saw the Royals narrowly move ahead of them.
