Even if they’re not, many of the players from those trio of clubs will want to return to the Premier League in the summer transfer window, much to the disdain of fellow players who want to bring their teams back up.

1. Marcus Hahnemann (Reading)
2. Graeme Murty (Reading)
3. Nicky Shorey (Reading)
4. Alan Stubbs (Derby County)
5. Liam Ridgewell (Birmingham City)
6. Stephen Hunt (Reading)
