"The Canaries" failed to regain their "yo-yo club" status last season, remaining in the Championship for another year. They finished sixth, giving them a chance for promotion, but Leeds, who had also been relegated from the Premier League and finished third, knocked them out in the first playoff round. Leeds, however, lost in the final at Wembley to Southampton.

Leeds also made notable changes, selling Sinisterra to Bournemouth and promising youngster Summerville to West Ham, while signing Ramazani for €12 million, loaning Solomon, and adding Tanaka.
