Parachute payments 22:33 - May 9 with 1995 views

Am I right in thinking that if any club goes back up within 3 years that the parachute payment(s) they were due get distributed to the other clubs? Or have I imagined it?

Correct. Shared out with the other Premier League clubs. I guess that’s not what you were hoping.

To the other PL clubs, yes.

Yes, the greedy EPL clubs had a vote on this and voted to share it amongst themselves.

To make the championship a bit more even, did wonder whether the relegated clubs should be under some sort of transfer restriction while they receive the money ie to stop them using that cash as advantage to get back to premiership

It's very difficult. The EFL is unbalanced at this level but then a team like Luton falls down 2 divisions with a shed load of money and parachute payments, so it doesn't always follow. I live in Luton and I think some fans and certainly their owners don't consider relegation to L1 a total disaster because the restrictions are limited and they'll possibly be able to rebuild like Birmingham. Birmingham are going to be difficult to deal with next season. But overall, yes, the Premiership gets bigger and bigger and we stand less chance of returning every season. It does make you think what we do about the ground. Other clubs earn a lot of money through other revenues at theirs, we don't.

How important is ground revenue once you’re in the PL? It must be dwarfed by TV income.

And then clubs like Coventry and Bristol City make it to the playoffs. We keep talking about how much harder it gets but I'm not so sure. The hardest part is still getting your own house in order and playing good consistent football

There will always be statistical anomalies, but they are getting rarer and rarer.

Sheff U go up and that's 3 from 3 with parachute payments. Ipswich the anomaly last season, Luton the season before. How long since three (or even) two clubs without parachute payments went up?

	Can we go out yet?

Well it certainly didn't used to matter much, but the way things are going, it will probably become more important, if never crucial.

For TV and media rights have plateaued amongst UK broadcasters, with no guarantee they'll continue to rise from overseas media.

At the same time, UEFA/PL's new Profit & Sustainability Rules mean clubs are increasingly being confined as to how much they may spend on players (transfer fees, wages etc) to a percentage of revenue generated.

So that having maybe maximised revenue from TV, Corporate, Sponsors etc, the next opportunity is matchday. Which is why teams even with existing large stadia like Man U, Newcastle, Citeh, Liverpool, Chelsea etc are looking to move or expand capacity further from where they are now, in response to the likes of Spurs, WHU and Everton.

While even little old Fulham, constrained by their location, are extracting every last penny, as well as a huge amount of urine, from their big, new stand by the river.

Of course matchday revenue will never equal the money available from those other sources but still, marginal gains and all that.

And to get it back to inequality between PL and Championship etc, looking from the outside, I'd say you guys need to move from LR just to keep up in your division first, before considering any aspirations you may have about getting up to the PL.

(Sorry, genuinely not seeking to have a dig with that last point, it's just the way it looks to me)
