#3 Blackpool
While Wigan and Portsmouth could get a step closer to returning to the Premier League with this season, the same doesn't apply to Blackpool. It might actually be the opposite. They are in League One just a few points away from the relegation zone. Having won only one of the last ten matches, it actually even looks likely that they will be in the middle of the survival dogfight come May.
It was a Cinderella story with Blackpool when they got promoted to the Premier League in 2010. They started the century as a fourth tier side. After flying throw the divisions, they had three seasons in the Championship before the big break.
Led by the colourful Ian Holloway, Blackpool's debut season in the Premier League featured a double over Liverpool and a strong end of the season run, which saw them lose only one of the last five fixtures, but sadly it wasn't enough for them to hold on to their place in the league. Wolves edged them with a one-point advantage.
Following the only season in the top flight, Blackpool basically went back to where their rise once had begun. And the fall was much quicker than the rise. They were a League Two side last season, managing to return to the third tier only via the playoffs. Thanks to goals from Brad Potts and Mark Cullen, Blackpool beat Exeter City 2-1 in the playoffs final.
