Championship PodJockey Isaac Chenery takes time out to admire the Semi-Final line-up in this year's FA Cup. But despite the achievements of the three Championship clubs that still remain in the last four; we wonder how much interest there will be in the denouement of this season's competition.

In the post Premiership days the club has struggled with their finances and had a brief spell in administration, and rumours that the club were paying off former players contracts and still some players on the premiership wages, but five years after the relegation from the top flight Ipswich still remain in the top ten. But just how high is the wage bill? David Sheepshanks said that Watford and West Brom have double the wage bill of that of the Suffolk’s club. Is the Championship heading for trouble?
