Did the wrong team go down? Blackburn survival, EFL & PSR debate

Blackburn Rovers survived the 25/26 Championship season, but the bigger question is whether they should have.

After defeat to Leicester City, we reflect on a season where PSR points deductions for clubs like Leicester and West Brom played a major role in shaping the final table.

Without those deductions, Rovers would have been relegated — so did Blackburn stay up on merit, or did the system ultimately decide it?

We also discuss:

• Leicester’s quality despite relegation
• The impact of EFL rules on the Championship table
• Why Rovers “got away with it” this season
• The need for more experience going forward
• Michael O’Neill’s future heading into the summer

There’s also a brief debate on potential squad changes, including whether Rovers should consider selling Toth or Alebiosu.
