The Championship season is over and that means the transfer rumour mill is about to get into full swing as managers aim to move quickly to address the weaknesses in their squad.
With clubs announcing their retained lists and players heading for the end of their contracts, there are likely to be numerous bargains on offer. Nigel Pearson is eager to get his business completed swiftly which will relieve the pressure on bringing in new additions when the players return for pre-season.
Other players will be happy to sit on their hands and bide their time, waiting for the best deal and the right club to come in before making a final decision. This summer could see Championship clubs start to open their chequebooks once again as the financial recovery from the pandemic continues.
