All 24 EFL Championship clubs’ fanbases ranked by AI on how miserable they are | OneFootball

We asked ChatGPT to rank the fanbases of all 24 Championship clubs based on how miserable they are.

As the early Championship table continues to take shape, it is looking set to be another entertaining season in the second tier.

After suffering relegation from the Premier League last season, Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton are all back in the Championship, while Birmingham City, Wrexham and Charlton Athletic have also returned to the division after winning promotion from League One.

Regardless of how their season has started, supporters from across the league will still be optimistic that a positive campaign could be ahead for their club, but they are sure to experience a whole range of emotions following their team between now and May.

With that in mind, we asked ChatGPT to rank the fanbases of all 24 Championship clubs based on how miserable they are.

24 Wrexham

Wrexham were playing in the National League just over two years ago, but after a historic three consecutive promotions, they are now a Championship club, and their stunning £33 million summer spend suggests they have ambitions of reaching the Premier League in the near future.

Given their remarkable rise under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, it is little surprise that ChatGPT believes Red Dragons supporters are the least miserable fanbase in the second tier.

Like Wrexham, Ipswich Town also enjoyed an impressive rise up the leagues as they won back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League, but the step-up proved to be a bit too much for them, and they were relegated from the top flight last season after just one year in the division.

Despite relegation, optimism remains high at Portman Road after manager Kieran McKenna was given strong backing during the summer transfer window, and AI believes that the Tractor Boys fanbase are currently "buzzing" with events at the club.

22 Charlton Athletic

After a five-year spell in League One, Charlton Athletic secured their return to the Championship with a 1-0 win over Leyton Orient in last season's play-off final, and their summer transfer activity suggests they are not willing to simply make up the numbers in the second tier.

While ChatGPT notes that there are still some mild frustrations within the Addicks fanbase, it believes there is a renewed sense of positivity and hope at The Valley as the club continue to rebuild under new ownership.

It was not the easiest first year back in the Championship for Portsmouth last season, but they eventually finished the campaign in a respectable 16th place, with their form at Fratton Park proving to be crucial in their battle against relegation.

After a strong start to the new season, it looks as though Pompey are ready to kick on, and AI claims that with a strong home support behind John Mousinho's side, there is currently an optimistic mood on the South Coast.

20 Millwall

Millwall only narrowly missed out on the play-offs last season after a strong second half of the campaign under Alex Neil, and they are widely tipped to be one of the dark horses for promotion this time around.

While ChatGPT admits that the atmosphere at The Den can often be aggressive and intense, it stressed that Lions supporters are not miserable, but instead they have a strong passion for their team.

It was a disappointing campaign for Leicester City last season as they were relegated from the Premier League, but while the threat of a points deduction is still hanging over the club, they will be looking to challenge for promotion under the guidance of new manager Marti Cifuentes.

AI recognised that some sections of the Foxes fanbase are frustrated with the club's hierarchy after the events of recent years, but it claims many supporters are still confident their side can make an immediate return to the top flight this season.

Like Leicester, Southampton also suffered relegation from the Premier League last season, but in what was a nightmare campaign for the club, they did at least manage to avoid breaking Derby County's record for the lowest-ever top flight points total.

ChatGPT notes that the mood of the Saints fanbase is slightly lower than usual after relegation, but it believes the summer transfer activity at St Mary's has helped to lift the mood.

17 Sheffield United

After losing to Sunderland in last season's play-off final, Sheffield United parted company with popular manager Chris Wilder in June due to disagreements over the club's new data-driven recruitment model, with the decision sparking outrage among the club's supporters.

The anger around Bramall Lane at Wilder's departure has only increased after the poor start to the season under new head coach Ruben Selles, but AI claims that there is still a sense of positivity due to the club's strong infrastructure and loyal fanbase, plus Wilder is back now.

It was another underwhelming campaign for Stoke City last season as they once again finished in the bottom half of the table, but there is cautious optimism that they could fare better this time around under manager Mark Robins.

ChatGPT admits that there is some frustration and apathy among the Potters fanbase after seven years of mid-table finishes in the Championship, but it believes the stability at the club has prevented any discontent from increasing too much.

Birmingham City secured their return to the Championship after storming to the League One title with a total of 111 points last season, and owner Tom Wagner has made it clear that the club are targeting back-to-back promotions.

AI claims that the Blues' recent resurgence under Wagner's ownership has brought a renewed sense of optimism to the club's passionate fanbase, but it believes there is still a sense of caution at St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park after previous disappointments.
