NEW PARACHUTE MONIES...


Recommended Posts

did i see that the pl chairmen have agreed that relegated sides should have a large increase in parachute money?. Maybe if they fail to get in the top 2 positions and only make the play-offs they should have a 3 goal start as well. They are maneuvering the 2 leagues into a position where only a miracle will promote any championship side, and the relegated sides will go straight back up every time, i wonder how long it will take to kill the championship off all together as a competition (true the balance is out at the moment, and needs addressing, but it's in the other direction, promotion after relegation is now very likely, looks as though they want to rule out any chance of a hiccup occuring), as for us, and sides like us, is our only hope to finish as high as possible in the championship, hoping that one day we may sneek a play off place. Surely anyone thinking of investing any money in a championship side must be having a rethink (as their £10, 15, or 20 million has just been wiped off) after this

4 years is a rumbleing joke.

and i believe the 1st two years are increased from 11m to 16m per year and then another 2 years at 8m per year.

going to be impossible to get out of the championship for anyone without these payments or massive investment:angry:

Cant the Football league clubs do anything about this? 4 years is a flipping joke! If they cant survive and sort their finances out within 2years payments of £12m then they deserve to go into admin

Football League have to approve it - best thing I can suggest is send a constructive letter (preferably not e-mail)

Payments are already due to be increased from £12m to £16m for two seasons from this summer. The proposed changes would give relegated clubs a further £8m for the following two seasons. The changes are part of a package that will include 'solidarity payments' from the Premiership to Football League clubs.

Money to Championship clubs varies depending on how many are in receipt of parachute payments - those that make an instant return to the Premier League no longer receive them and the money is distributed across the rest of the Championship depending on where they finish in the league table.

If £42m is available to a relegated club over 4 seasons and they get re-promoted after 1 season it would leave £26m available for distribution to the rest. You have to think that with £16m available in the first season for a relegated club their chance of re-promotion increases, thereby increasing the likelihood that the unused payments will get paid out to the others in the following season.

If the three relegated clubs got re-promoted that would leave £78m for re-distribution, an average £3.25m per club and actually considerably more for those that finish higher in the table. That, added to a sweetener of improved solidarity payments, may be a lifeline that a lot of Chamionship clubs will find hard to turn down.

whilst confining those same championship clubs to an endless battle against overwhelming financial power and condemning them to a life time of 2nd division obscurity (or worse)?

Its farcical. The authorities should be pushing more for clubs to sort themselves out and make contingency plans than to give them a satin cushion to fall on.
