The Championship Lowdown returns for our international break special, and this time we're reviewing all three relegated clubs — West Ham, Wolves, and Burnley — after their first eight games back in the Championship.The contrast is stark. West Ham banked a record £185M and reinvested heavily, but they've already shown they can be beaten. Wolves quietly appointed César Peixoto, parted ways with Rob Edwards early, and look remarkably settled. Burnley, meanwhile, are winless, bottom of the league, and the pressure is mounting on Nicky Hayen.Adam and James break down each club's transfer window, assess their starts, analyse the fixtures ahead, give their updated predictions on where all three finish, and pick the one January signing each club needs.Was sacking Rob Edwards the right call? Is Kyle Walker's Turf Moor career over? Can West Ham hold their nerve? All that and more on this episode.⚽ Drop your predictions in the comments — who finishes where?🔔 Like and subscribe for weekly Championship content.TIMESTAMPS:0:05 — Intro & welcome back1:38 — Transfer window recap: ranking all three relegated clubs5:18 — Will West Ham go again in January?5:47 — Predictions: who bounces straight back?6:14 — Wolves manager change: the César Peixoto appointment7:33 — West Ham deep dive: £185M rebuild, Nuno staying & the 6-0 statement15:51 — West Ham's upcoming fixtures & can anyone stop them16:11 — Wolves deep dive: Edwards sacking, defensive concerns & Peixoto's impact20:49 — Was sacking Rob Edwards harsh or smart?21:08 — Wolves' fixture run through December24:54 — Burnley deep dive: chaos at Turf Moor & the effort problem27:42 — Does Nicky Hayen survive to January?31:30 — Burnley's transfer churn vs West Ham's profitable rebuild32:20 — Final predictions: where do all three finish?35:12 — The one January signing each club needs40:38 — Wrap up & what's coming next
