Relegation from the Premier League can really bring differing fortunes, just ask Ipswich and Leicester.
When appointed as boss until the end of the campaign last month, Gary Rowett became the third different voice Leicester City’s players will have listened to as head coach this season.
If they do not buck up their ideas they could be playing in a third different division in the space of 15 months come August.
Since joining Ipswich Town in suffering an immediate return to the Championship at the end of last season, what could go wrong has gone wrong for the Foxes.
A failure to get going under Marti Cifuentes led to the head coach being sacked in January. A six-point deduction for breaching financial regulations followed last month and, coupled with a winless league run of nine games, they find themselves in the relegation zone.
There is an appeal against the points penalty but even if that is successful, Leicester would only be 19th so you can forgive supporters for looking enviously at their opponents as they head to Portman Road on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
Despite failing to win any of their opening four games after relegation, Ipswich have steadily and impressively got into their stride, and have won eight of their past 11 Championship matches.
Victory against Leicester would move them up to second place for at least a day with Middlesbrough not facing QPR until Sunday (16:30 GMT).
Beating Hull City on Tuesday meant Kieran McKenna became the fastest Ipswich boss to reach 100 wins while promotion this season would make him the first to achieve two elevations to the top flight with the Suffolk club.
