If they scrap parachute payments

Still had parachute money though right?

 

Yes but the parachute money was irrelevant to them not going up, they would just have fallen further without it, although Blackpool's fall was pretty severe...

Did Newcastle spend £112m getting straight back up ? published figures by the way 

 

Was £35m of that not parachute payment ?

 

Or was it all down to that well known philanthropist Mike Ashley ?

 


Jesus


Ok let's try it ANOTHER way


QUESTION - How many clubs have received parachute payments since they came into being?
QUESTION 2 - How many of those receiving parachute payments have bounced back to the Premier League?

If the problem that relegation payments are trying to solve is handling the out-sized contracts that relegated teams are frequently saddled with, can't the money currently given to relegated clubs be assigned instead to a kind of insurance pool that takes contracts off the hands of relegated clubs?

 

In other words, the relegated clubs can walk away from contracts they cant afford, within specified limits, but the players' wages are guaranteed out of the relegation fund pool. Then an entity is created to mitigate the losses by reselling the contracts to other teams, with a wage subsidy from the relegation pool. The buying club gets the player not the relegated club, so the player still gets the promised wages.

 

Frequently the problem for relegated clubs is that their playing staff are over-priced older or injured players, and no other club with take the player off their hands, Wednesday currently knows a thing or two about that situation, even without suffering relegation. A relegation "insurance" scheme would address that problem, but without giving a pool of money to the relegated club to rearm.

question How many clubs have received parachute payments under the current deal ?

question How many have bounced straight back  ?

 

I reckon 3 ( plus 3 the current season )

and 1 

3 to1 chance of bouncing straight back is a significant advantage

Potentially yes


But if clubs come down, get parachute payments and do other things with the money and don't get promoted then what's it really matter?

Here's three examples for you

Middlesbrough, Hull City and Sunderland – the three relegated teams of the PL 2017-18 took home £40m in compensation for relegation. In fact, Sunderland made almost £100 million from TV revenue and merit payments. Middlesbrough got £102 million and Hull earned £104 million.

All that advantage they've got over us eh

Anyone wanna explain that to Sunderland fans as they play Burton Albion and Fleetwood Town this season?

 

Anyone posting after this post that clubs get unfair advantage I swear I'm gonna throw poo at you

 

lol

I want to see the statistics that have been asked for that show that there isn't a statistical advantage for the relegated clubs with the payments. Subjectively it seems that there is. Has someone worked it out yet?

I count 21 clubs in that list. Clearly a large statistical advantage to the just relegated teams. Chance of promotion every year for the average Championship team is 1 in 8. In that list, closer to 1 in 3. Of course, it isn't necessarily attributable to relegation payments, as the advantage existed back in the 1990s as well.

21 teams out of how many relegated though?

Plus of course you'd also expect recently relegated Premier League teams to have a far stronger squad so there's a real strength to their players regardless of parachute payments being awarded to them
