The goal is simple - stay in the Championship.
That's the objective for Bolton Wanderers this season. It took the Whites seven years to return to England's second-division and have to make it stick. Doing so though, is far from easy.
Since 2021/22, three teams have gone up from League One to just go straight back down. All three sides, Peterborough United, Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United fit the same bill as Bolton, working on one of the smallest budgets in the league.
Next season is an unknown but other teams with a smaller budget have met the same fate. Oxford United, Plymouth Argyle and Blackpool are among the teams to last two seasons in the Championship before falling back down. Each team proved that building on a good season is so important.

A lifelong Bolton Wanderers fan, this club is the reason I began my journalism career. Since sitting in the stands as a kid over 20 years ago, I have gone on to work for the likes of the BBC and The Telegraph before everything led me back to here, to the football club I love.
