Middlesbrough miss out on promotion in the 2014-15 campaign as they lost in the play-off final to Norwich who just got relegated from the Premier League managing only one season in the top flight.
But Boro managed to put the wrong into right this time as they were promoted directly avoiding the play-off as Burnley pipped them to the Championship title finishing in the first place.
Middlesbrough managed to cash in £200M after they defeated Brighton & Hove Albion in the race of promotion - the game was the most richest game ever played as the Champions League final prize money was just £4.5M.

However Burnley also deserve some credit for coming back straight up after agonizingly been relegated from the top flight last season.
The manager Sean Dyche remained at the club despite the relegation and build a team capable of challenging at the top of Championship even after selling their top striker Danny Ings to Liverpool last season.
The last and third club to be promoted are the Tigers, Hull City.
Hull were one of the favorite according to the bookmakers to come up straight away as Steve Bruce build a team solid in defense and bring in talented youngsters in the squad to push for promotion and they did it just in the last game.

Steve Bruce became the first manager to be promoted four times in the Championship as Mo Diame scored a sublime goal in the final against Sheffield Wednesday who were completely lost in that final despite beating play-off favorite Brighton 3-1 on aggregate.
These teams will have to be on their toes if they want to stay in the top flight for a long time as the big clubs have just appointed the world best managers around and the clubs in the mid-table will tactically strengthen their squad also but the most interesting thing next season will be about the Foxes.
Can Leicester City compete against the giant clubs or will he disappear of the radar as Blackburn Rovers did in 1996 after winning the title against a very strong Man Utd side in 1994-95 season.
