Three new teams have moved up into the England Premier League from the Champions League this season – Norwich City, Queens Park Rangers, and Swansea City.
Likeable Chris Hughton Named New Boss @ Birmingham City
Chris Hughton, Manager Birmingham City
Former Newcastle United boss Chris Hughton was sacked in December with Toon 11th in the table and replaced by Alan Pardew.
The former Troon boss was harshly sacked by Mike Ashley despite having led the Magpies to a Championship title and had the St James’ Park side comfortably placed in mid table when he was axed.
Chris Houghton has been hired as the new Birmingham manager.
His goal is to ensure that Birmingham spends only one season out of the Premier League.
The Birmingham Blues were relegated on the last day of the 2010-11 season.
Hughton takes over from Alex McLeish, who recently left for local rivals Aston Villa.
“We know it will be a tough task. I hope I can do it.
“The ultimate aim is to get back into the Premier League, and the job starts now.
“It’s a tough season, a very tough division. I feel you want to work at a club where you have a good chance of getting back where this club wants to be and belongs. I feel I have that here.”
Birmingham will be among the favourites to go up but Hughton is aware that several players may leave due to the Blue’s relegation.
“I am aware that with relegation comes a financial side that has to be balanced.”
“We have had some very good players that have shown a desire they want to remain Premier League players.
“These are the type of things I will be addressing over the next day or so.”
Hughton took Newcastle up into the top flight in 2010.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do. For me it is about a group of players showing a real desire to want to get back into the Premier League,” he said.
Ex-Tottenham and Republic of Ireland defender Hughton is pleased to be at St Andrew’s.
“I am absolutely delighted,” he continued. “It is a job that ticks a lot of boxes for me. I am very aware of the history at the club.
“I consider Birmingham a proper football club; the tradition and support base that fits the club. I am delighted to be sitting here.
“I am very concious that what I regard as the big jobs only come around every so often.
“There are a lot of very good managers that I know would have been happy to be sitting where I am now.”
Defenders Scott Dann and Roger Johnson as well as keeper Ben Foster are among the players linked with moves away.
“There have been offers for players and we have to work around the next few days to determine whether the offers are right,” Hughton remarked.
“That’d be the first issue, making the decisions we have to make on players.”
“What will happen, certainly over the next couple of weeks, is that you’ll see a lot of movement from players. We’ve already seen movement from other clubs,” Hughton noted.
“What you don’t want to be is left in a position come the last week of pre-season where you’re desperate to bring players in.
“There are financial implications to be being relegated, and we have to try and manoeuvre that situation the best way that we can. At this moment we’re talking hypothetically because every one of those players is still at this football club.”

English Premiership: Manchester United v Chelsea - Tickets
English Premiership - Manchester United v Chelsea
Manchester United and Chelsea FC, the two top teams in the Premiership, meet in battle on Sunday at Old Trafford Stadium on May 8th in Manchester.
"We will have a fresh team on Sunday and that makes a difference at this time of the season. It should be a fantastic game," said Sir Alex Ferguson, United boss.
Fergie has confirmed Wayne Rooney will be fit to play against Chelsea after resting a minor hamstring complaint in midweek.
United manager, Ferguson believes that Manchester United will go on to claim a record 19th Premiership League title if they beat Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.
United has claimed 25 points from their last 27 – if the Red Devils win against Chelsea on Sunday, they would still require a point from their final two games against Blackburn and Blackpool to secure the Premier League trophy.
“Everyone is aware of the magnitude of Sunday’s game,” said Ferguson. “If we win, we should win the league.
“It is a game we are looking forward to. Last Sunday’s result (at Arsenal) has certainly brought us an awareness of how important this week’s game is.
“It is one of the reasons why I picked the team I did on Wednesday. I wanted to give us a real chance.
However Darren Fletcher will not start, even though he returned from a two-month absence with a virus by making a 20-minute substitute appearance in midweek.
Ferguson is looking towards the Champions League final against Barcelona on May 28 as Fletcher's long-term goal.
"Wednesday was a step forward but that 20 minutes was just to give him a boost really because the boy has a bit to do yet," said Ferguson.
"He has almost has three weeks to the final and that is his target.
"If he does reach it, it would be a great boost to us. As we all know he is a big game player.
"He won't start on Sunday but his training will be stepped up in terms of giving him the sharpness he needs.
"We have Blackburn and Blackpool in the Premier League and also Gary Neville's testimonial so there is some game time there that could help him to reach his target."

Chelsea 3-0 West Ham - Fernando Torres Scores 1st Chelsea Goal
Fernando Torres Celebrates 1st Chelsea Goal
Chelsea 3-0 West Ham
Stamford Bridge April 23, 2011
Fernando Torres smiled after scoring his first goal for Chelsea in Saturday's 3-0 victory over West Ham in his 14th outing after a £50m January move from Liverpool, the Spain striker ended a 903-minute drought.
"It was not the beginning I was expecting when I signed, but it's never easy when you arrive in January at a massive team like this," said Torres.
"There's less pressure for me now, now I can enjoy it."
The 27-year-old started on the substitutes' bench for the fifth successive Premier League match before coming on for Didier Drogba in the 76th minute.
Chelsea were leading 1-0.
Torres kicked a great shot past West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green.
"I kept working and it's thanks to all my team-mates that I scored," he added. "Thanks to all my team-mates, they were looking for me in every game.
"It wasn't so difficult for me but for the fans - I had more anxiety for them than for me, I wanted to show them I could score and hopefully this is the first of many goals.
"Now we can try and finish the season as we all want."
Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti was thrilled for Torres and his side, who are now three points clear of Arsenal in third and remain six points behind leaders Manchester United following their 1-0 victory over Everton.
"What a perfect day," stated Ancelotti. "Everyone has been waiting for Fernando to score and finally he did it. From today, a new life.
"He needed a goal - he worked hard and maintained confidence and composure. From today, he will have fantastic future at this club.
"The big problem was that he came to a new club and it was not easy to immediately find a good relationship with the new teammates and our play.
"Now the bad moment has gone and we will take advantage with his performances."
"Considering the performance of Didier today, considering that Fernando scored, we have to try to put both together," the Italian commented.
"We have one week to train, we can try and I think that I will take a decision for the next game."
Ancelotti said Chelsea will fight until the end to retain their crown.
"I don't think Manchester United have more pressure now, they are six points ahead and that is a good gap with just four games left," the Chelsea manager added.
"But we will keep trying to do our best and hope something will happen. If not, we have to celebrate Man United for having a great Premier League season."
The scoreline was harsh on bottom-of-the table West Ham - two points adrift of safety - and Hammers manager Avram Grant reflected: "I think everybody in this room knows that we deserved better.
"Petr Cech was excellent today with two or three great saves. If someone didn't see the game, they think 3-0, Chelsea is much better than us.
"I can be very proud of the players. Without the player of the year [Scott Parker], without Matthew Upson, without Gary O'Neil, and Mark Noble second half, they showed a lot of belief, a lot of spirit.
"If we continue to play like this, we will stay in the league."
