Bit of a teaser

Not strictly Spurs related or even Premier League related, but something to get your brains whirring.

Who is the current longest-serving Championship side? They also have the longest-serving manager.

Here's the Championship table to give you a helping hand:

Huddersfield
Norwich
Newcastle
Barnsley
Birmingham
Brentford
Brighton
Reading
Fulham
Wolves
Ipswich
Bristol City
Nottm Forest
Sheff Wed
Leeds
QPR
Burton
Aston Villa
Preston
Derby
Rotherham
Wigan
Blackburn
Cardiff

It's not immediately obvious and probably not who you first thought it was.

Without looking at other peoples answers I'll say Ipswich and big Mick. He's been with them a good few years now.

You'd be right. I thought Ipswich might not be obvious because people would have thought Forest and Sheffield Wednesday have been in the division for years. Or someone like Cardiff.

I meant longest-serving in terms of consecutive seasons spent in the Championship. Since they were relegated in 2002 they have never been promoted back or dropped further down.

Mick McCarthy, who has been in charge for a surprising four years - didn't think it was as long as that - is the longest-serving manager.

The longest serving manager kills off Forest and Sheff Weds straight away.
Cardiff were in PL recently.

I know Norwich have just got relegated from the prem but the question is longest serving championship side. To me that means the side who have spent the most time in the championship.
