Football League Two
The four teams relegated from League One in 2005-06 would occupy the top four this season, sending Walsall, Hartlepool and Swindon back up. Bristol Rovers won the play-offs however, returning to League One after six years.
Torquay United had been both the last team to finish bottom under the old election system, and the last team to finish bottom of the League and survive due to the Conference champions not having a good enough ground. However, this season they finished bottom and dropped out of the League. They were joined by Boston United, who went into administration in the 87th minute of the season's final game (but would still have been relegated even without the 10-point administration penalty).

Main articles: List of English football transfers 2006-07
The summer transfer window saw many high profile moves. These included Andriy Shevchenko and Michael Ballack joining Chelsea,[190][191] and Ruud van Nistelrooy leaving Manchester United to join Real Madrid.[192] West Ham United secured the surprise double signing of Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tévez from Corinthians,[193] and Dietmar Hamann's transfer to Bolton Wanderers became the shortest in English footballing history.[194]
The January transfer window was quieter than the summer, with Ashley Young's £9.65m move to Aston Villa[195] and Matthew Upson's £6m move to West Ham United[196] the window's most expensive.
In total, Premiership clubs spent the highest amount on transfers in the summer since the transfer window system was introduced.[197]
